Rising Indoor Wheat Yields in Vertical Farming

- ABSTRACTWheat (Triticum aestivum) is central to human nutrition but increasingly challenged by climate change and resource constraints. Vertical farming offers a potential solution through...

The Silent Pandemic: How Climate Change Is Unleashing New Fungal Plant Pathogen Threats

- Climate change is accelerating the emergence, adaptation, and spread of fungal plant pathogens by altering host–pathogen–environment interactions. Rising temperatures, shifting rainfall, and...

Comparative Genome?Wide Association Studies of Metabolites and Grain?Related Traits in Common Wheat

- ABSTRACTThe metabolome is highly diverse and the closest layer to phenotype; therefore, it is commonly regarded as a bridge between the genome and phenome in plants. Here, we performed large?scale...

Sparse phenotyping for wheat grain yield enabled by multiomics prediction

- AbstractGrain yield is a central target in wheat breeding, yet accurately predicting it remains challenging because it depends on many genes and responds strongly to environmental variation. Genomic...

Finlay–Wilkinson random regression for yield and yield stability prediction in cereals

- AbstractYear?to?year climate variability poses a challenge for agriculture by increasing crop yield variability; therefore, there is a need to identify genotypes that can withstand these...

Targeted Knockout of CYP79A1 Reduces Cyanogenic Potential in Grain Sorghum

- ABSTRACTUnderstanding how numerous heterotic quantitative trait loci (hQTL) shape heterosis and shifting from hQTL to candidate genes are central challenges. To address these challenges, we performed...

Correction to “Nitrogen?Starved Wheat: A Multi?Omics Perspective from Epigenome Regulation to Grain Quality”

- ABSTRACTSoil organic carbon (SOC) is central to soil health, crop productivity, and agroecosystem resilience because of its influence on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties and...

Controlled?Release Urea Combined With Urea Sustains Yield and Improves Soil Organic Carbon Storage Under Reduced Nitrogen in Rice–Wheat Rotation

- ABSTRACTReducing nitrogen (N) input while sustaining productivity is central to the long?term food security of intensive rice–wheat systems. We evaluated whether blending controlled?release urea...

Evaluating crop models for future climate scenarios: wheat yield predictions using APSIM and STICS under combined CO2, warming, and water deficit conditions

24/08/2026 - Crop models are essential for predicting climate change impacts on agriculture, yet their validation under multi-stress conditions remains limited. This study evaluated two widely used wheat models,...

Unlocking Soil Organic Carbon Potential in Sustainable Agriculture

- ABSTRACTSoil organic carbon (SOC) is central to soil health, crop productivity, and agroecosystem resilience because of its influence on soil physical, chemical, and biological properties and...

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...
