A Gain?of?Function Mutation in DELLA Selectively Alters Protein Interactions to Regulate Wheat Tiller Angle and Plant Height

- ABSTRACTPlant architecture, especially plant height and tiller angle, plays a pivotal role in determining wheat yield. In this study, we characterize a wheat mutant termed prostrate and semidwarf 1...

An Intronic Structural Variant in GhEBS1 Drives Cotton Fruit Size Divergence by Modulating Chromatin Accessibility and Gene Expression

- ABSTRACTFruit size is not only a crucial fitness trait in plant evolution but also an important agronomic target in crop domestication and improvement, yet its regulatory mechanisms remain poorly...

Insights Into the Origin and Local Adaptation Evolution of the Cultivated Sesame With Telomere?to?Telomere High?Quality Genome

- ABSTRACTSesame (Sesamum indicum L., 2n?=?26) is one of the oldest oilseed crops and is often called the ‘queen of oilseeds’ due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids and natural...

Biofortified feed crops: bridging plant biotechnology and animal-derived functional foods

- Micronutrient deficiency continues to be a significant global nutritional problem, especially in populations relying on staple diets with limited micronutrient diversity. Biofortification presents a...

The heterozygous pineapple genome demonstrates the importance of haplotype-resolved plant genomes

08/05/2026 - Collapsed (haploid) genome assemblies omit large portions of genetic information, especially in heterozygous, clonally propagated crops such as pineapple. Here, we assembled a telomere-to-telomere,...

UVR8-mediated UV-B signaling and its regulation of horticultural traits: from Arabidopsis to application

06/05/2026 - Ultraviolet-B (UV-B, 280–315 nm) radiation acts as a key environmental signal that regulates plant development and acclimation responses. The UV-B photoreceptor UV RESISTANCE LOCUS 8 (UVR8) plays...

Candidate genes with antagonistic roles in stomatal development are associated with population-wide variation in apple

08/07/2026 - A sustainable approach to address climate change and increasing water demand in agriculture is breeding for plant functional traits that conserve water and enhance climate resilience. Stomata...

82. Fifty Years of Progress for Beef Cattle Production in the United States.

29/09/2026 - Many changes in feed production and the maintenance and genetics of cattle have occurred over the past 50 years which affect the efficiency, productivity and environmental impacts of beef cattle...

Genome?Wide Screening and Functional Verification of the Tobacco SGR Family Identify Transcription?Factor?Like NtSGRL as a Negative Regulator of Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus Resistance

- A chloroplast?associated STAY?GREEN protein, NtSGRL1, acts as a negative regulator of antiviral immunity in tobacco. Disruption of NtSGRL1 enhances resistance to diverse plant viruses and reveals a...

Lysin Motif Effectors Facilitate the Endophytic Colonization of Wheat by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum via Modulating Plant Immunity

- Two LysM effectors of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum are essential for the endophytic colonization of wheat. SsLysM6/7 inhibit chitin?induced immune responses and undermine wheat immunity to promote fungal...

Improving grain yield prediction in Southern US oat germplasm using genomics information and environmental covariates

- AbstractGenetic gains of oat (Avena sativa L.) grain yield have been historically low compared to other major cereal crops. The use of machine learning models to capture complex interactions and...

A haplotype?based approach to explore genotype?by?environment interactions for barley yield

- AbstractClimate change poses a significant threat to cereal production, making it increasingly important to understand the role of genotype?by?environment interactions (GEIs) in crops. Traditional...

Development and deployment of a public mid?density genotyping panel for crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) based on whole?genome re?sequencing of diverse germplasm

- AbstractCrimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) is an obligately outcrossing, cool?season annual legume valued for forage and cover cropping, yet genomic resources to support systematic improvement...

Genome?wide association analysis of resistance to scald in an adapted multiparent winter malting barley population

- AbstractScald, caused by the fungus Rhynchosporium graminicola Heinsen 1897, is a major foliar disease in winter malting barley (Hordeum vulgare L). Resistance to scald in winter malting barley is...

Balancing gain and diversity: Optimal contribution selection for sustainable genetic improvement in sugarcane

- AbstractSugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids), the source of ?80% of the worlds sugar, has experienced a plateau in genetic improvement over recent decades. This stagnation is largely due to the crop's...

Optimizing multi?trait selection for profitability in Illinois wheat using a factor analytic mixed model and an economic selection index

- AbstractEconomic selection indices can improve the efficiency of selection for multiple traits, but they are underutilized in plant breeding due to limited research on the economic values of traits...

Identification of germplasm and genomic markers associated with reduced T?2 and HT?2 mycotoxin accumulation in oat

- AbstractHarmful T?2 and HT?2 mycotoxins are produced by Fusarium langsethiae and Fusarium sporotrichioides in developing oat (Avena sativa L.) grain. This study identified oat genotypes with...

On the Sensitivity of qPCR Diagnostics for the Canola Clubroot Pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae

- All published PCR and qPCR systems for clubroot detection target the same DNA sequence. We identified the most sensitive one based on the results of in silico analyses and testing on gBlock, and...

Evaluation of LiDAR?based canopy trait estimation in Midwestern row crops

- AbstractStand count, the number of plants per unit ground area, and leaf area index (LAI), the ratio of leaf area to ground area, are critical traits for crop research but are traditionally measured...

MaizeEar?SAM: Zero?shot maize ear phenotyping

- AbstractQuantifying the variation in yield component traits of maize (Zea mays L.), which collectively determine the overall productivity of this globally significant crop, is critical to plant...
