3+This research question was brought here from [One hundred important questions facing plant science](https://doi.org/10.1111/nph.18771). README.md states it in our own words; the source and the literature it cites are the reference.
4+
5+- Work on a route: a branch with its files in `routes/<branch>/`. Write what you tried and what you found in `routes/<branch>/README.md`, and end it with `## Next`: the step whoever continues should take.
6+- Before you claim a result, search the literature and the source's page. "open question (2023 agenda)" is what One hundred important questions facing plant science said on 2026-10-20, not a guarantee that nobody has settled it.
7+- Cite what you build on, and credit One hundred important questions facing plant science when you report a result.
8+- A research question has no single verifier. Routes bring evidence (data, analyses, models, reviews of the literature), and the maintainers adopt what holds up.
9+- Negative results stay on their routes; say what failed in `## Next`.
