A Nutrient?Based Biostimulant Application Partially Alleviates Negative Effects of Glyphosate Drift on Wheat

- ABSTRACTThe extensive use of glyphosate for weed control in?crop poses significant risks to non?target crops, such as wheat, due to spray drift. Biostimulants are widely used to improve nutrient...

Climate?Induced Severe Water Scarcity Events as Harbingers of Global Wheat Price

21/08/2026 - AbstractThis study connects the dots between global extent of severe water scarcity (SWS) events and spikes in food price. The authors start with three staple crops (rice, wheat, and maize) using a...

The Fungal Pathogen Fusarium graminearum Can Hydrolyse Tryptamine?Derived Hydroxy?Cinnamic Acid Amide Defence Compounds, and Generates Highly Increased Auxin Levels in Wheat via Copper Amine?Oxidases

- Fusarium graminearum can cleave tryptamine?derived hydroxycinnamic acid amides and convert the released tryptamine into auxin, suppressing plant defence responses; aox?7—septuple knockout of...

Re?sequencing 142 rice genomes reveals the fine?scale population structure and phylogenetic affinities of landraces of Kashmir Valley: Evidence from domestication and adaptive signatures

- AbstractThe emergence of rice (Oryza sativa) as a cultivated crop has represented a landmark in the history of agriculture in Kashmir Valley. Unlike winter cereals, such as wheat and barley, which...

Identification of Potential Genomic Regions and Candidate Genes for Spring Wheat Pre?Harvest Sprouting Resistance Using Multiple Genome?Wide Association Study Models

- ABSTRACTPre?harvest sprouting is a critical constraint limiting stable spring wheat production worldwide. Mining reliable quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for pre?harvest sprouting resistance and...

Nitrogen?Starved Wheat: A Multi?Omics Perspective From Epigenome Regulation to Grain Quality

- This review establishes epigenetic regulation, specifically H3K27ac and H3K27me3 dynamics at nitrogen transporter, assimilation, and storage protein loci, as a principal determinant of...

Chromosome?scale assembly of wheat cultivar Sumai 3, a major germplasm source for Fusarium head blight resistance

- AbstractFusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating disease that severely impacts global wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production. Sumai 3, a wheat cultivar widely used in breeding programs for its...

The TaCOMT1A?Synthesised Sakuranetin Is a Novel Biostimulant Enhancing Drought Tolerance and Yield in Wheat

- ABSTRACTDrought stress is a major limitation to global wheat production. Here, we demonstrate that the wheat gene TaCOMT1A, encoding a caffeic acid O?methyltransferase, plays a crucial role in...

Grain Expansion in China's Drylands Secures Food but Intensifies Environmental Trade?Offs

05/08/2026 - AbstractDrylands are increasingly crucial for global food supply, and grain cultivation there continues to expand. Newly cultivated croplands in these regions are often assumed to be biophysically...

- Evaluating biostimulant efficacy under optimal to challenging environments in wheatABSTRACTThe need to reduce reliance on synthetic fertilisers has intensified interest in biostimulants and organic...

Root and shoot phenotyping elucidate plant growth?promoting microorganisms effects on wheat under water deficit

- AbstractWater scarcity represents a major constraint to crop productivity, increasing interest in sustainable strategies such as plant growth?promoting microorganisms (PGPM). This study investigated...

Geographical Distribution of Major Fusarium Species Causing Wheat Head Blight and Crown Rot in the North China Plain Is Influenced by Latitude and Cropping System

- Fusarium species associated with FHB and FCR in the NCP of China are structured by latitude and crop rotation, with distinct interspecific differences.ABSTRACTFusarium graminearum,...

FgCot1 Regulates Polarized Growth and Conidiation in Fusarium graminearum via Gpmk1 MAPK and Tsf1 Transcriptional Pathways

- FgCot1 is a nuclear Dbf2?related kinase in Fusarium graminearum. It inhibits activation of the Gpmk1 MAPK pathway and interacts with transcription factor Tsf1 to regulate its nuclear localization....

Puccinia triticina Effector Pt3863 Targets and Subverts TaRLCK176 to Suppress Wheat Resistance to Leaf Rust

- TaRLCK176 is a critical immune hub that positively modulates wheat resistance to leaf rust and is specifically targeted by the Puccinia triticina effector Pt3863. Notably, Pt3863 has evolved a...
