Identification of Wheat Sulfotransferase Genes and Functional Analysis of TaSOT48 Regulatory Responses to Biotic and Abiotic Stress Conditions

- ABSTRACTSulfotransferases (SOTs) catalyze sulfate conjugation and contribute to diverse biochemical processes in plants. In this study, 112 wheat SOT genes were identified and characterized through...

Revisiting the foundation era of plant genomics with a commentary on the pioneering contributions of Prof. Chittaranjan Kole

- AbstractThe evolution of plant genomics has been shaped by several pioneering milestones, beginning with the introduction of restriction fragment length polymorphism–based genetic linkage maps in...

Effects of lime and phosphorus application on soil properties and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) yields in acidic soils of Sidama region, Ethiopia

- AbstractSoils provide vital services for agricultural productivity, carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, and environmental sustainability. However, soil acidity poses a major threat to...

Population Structure and Genomic Diversity of Fusarium poae Associated With Barley and Oat in Canada

- Population genomics of Fusarium poae from Canadian barley and oat revealed high genetic diversity, weak geographic structure and a hierarchical population comprising two major groups. A distinct,...

The CaM1?CBP60b?MYB77 Transcriptional Cascade Regulates K+ Homeostasis and Salt Tolerance in Barley

- ABSTRACTSoil salinity is a major abiotic stress that threatens global crop productivity. Calcium (Ca2+) is a pivotal second messenger in plant stress signalling, but how Ca2+ sensors such as...

Peer review of the pesticide risk assessment of the active substance metyltetraprole

- AbstractThe conclusions of the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) following the peer review of the initial risk assessments carried out by the competent authority of the rapporteur Member State...

Identification and genomic location of resistance to bacterial leaf streak of barley

- AbstractThe bacterial leaf streak (BLS) disease of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), caused by Xanthomonas translucens pv. translucens (Xtt), has become increasingly important worldwide in recent years....

Drought and Diversification?Mediated Soil Legacies Influence Plant Growth and Rhizosheath Formation

- ABSTRACTWhile drought legacy effects are widely reported, how distinct soil biological legacies created by diversification of crops through rotation influence plant performance remains largely...

Introgression of wild barley alleles improves seedlings salinity tolerance in the nested association mapping HEB?400 population

- AbstractClimate change is intensifying the frequency and severity of abiotic stresses that threaten global food security by reducing crop productivity. Among these, saline stress poses a serious...

Ustilago hordei Delivers Heterologous Fungal Effectors for Screening and Characterisation in Wheat

- Ustilago hordei, a barley pathogen, has been engineered to deliver effectors of fungal pathogens in wheat. Necrosis?inducing activities of Parastagonospora nodorum effectors SnTOX1 and SnTOX3 can...
