Summary: The high performance and stability of wheat genotypes for yield, grain protein content (GPC), and other desirable traits are critical for varietal development and food and nutritional security. The genotype by environment (G x E) interaction (GEI) should be thoroughly investigated and favorably utilized whenever genotype selection decisions are made. Different univariate and multivariate analyses were used to interpret the data from the multi-environmental trial (MET). The results showed that both the univariate and multivariate analyses provided similar results regarding the top-performing and stable genotypes.

Summary: Removing superior kernels can significantly increase the filling rate and weight of inferior kernels, thereby enhancing wheat yield. The promotion effect is likely related to changes in protein expression involved in carbon and energy metabolism.

Summary: Colored wheat grains have a unique nutritional value, with the mechanism of color formation closely related to the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway. Gene expression modulates flavonoid composition and content, leading to differences in color formation among different wheat varieties.

Summary: The removal of wheat flag leaf significantly reduces the concentration of Pb in grains, where the contribution of flag leaf to grain Pb accumulation decreases gradually with the filling process. The main source of Pb from flag leaves to grains is found to be from atmospheric fallout in fine particles, suggesting that measures to reduce the influence of fine atmospheric particles on wheat could effectively control Pb contamination in wheat grains.

Summary: By using the GGE biplot method, this study identified the genotype x environment interaction effects and assessed the adaptability and yield stability of 13 wheat varieties across different sowing dates. Among the varieties, Sirvan, Roshan, and Pishtaz showed superior performance and broad adaptation to diverse sowing dates. These varieties can be recommended for wheat improvement programs.

Summary: This study characterized the response of durum wheat to short-term heat stress at the transcriptomic and physiological levels and identified differentially expressed genes related to photosynthesis, response to heat, and carbohydrate metabolic process. The results showed a reduction in grain weight, dimensions, and starch content, but an increase in grain protein levels. The study also uncovered novel transcription factors controlling abiotic stress response and grain quality.

Summary: Wheat spikes directly absorb lead from atmospheric deposition, and their contribution to lead accumulation in grains was investigated. Experimental results showed that shading treatments on the spikes reduced the accumulation of lead in grains and decreased the grain lead concentration. Pb isotopic analysis revealed that atmospheric deposition was the main source of lead in the spike and grain, and the percentage of atmospheric lead in the grain decreased in the shading treatments. Additionally, spikes were found to be the major tissue source of lead in grains, and the contribution of spikes to grain lead accumulation increased during the filling stage.

Summary: Cultivating cereals in monoculture systems leads to a decrease in grain yield and quality. This study focused on the impact of wheat mono-cropping under Mediterranean climate conditions in Tunisia. The results showed that cropping season had significant effects on all measured parameters, except for thousand kernel weight (TKW). One-year wheat previous crop improved grain yield (GY) more than two successive years. The highest yields were recorded for the Om Rabiaa and Nasr cultivars. Grain quality parameters were also affected by cropping season, with gluten content (GC) and vitreousness aspect (Vit A) being influenced by the genotype.

Summary: The application of triazole pesticides can influence plant growth by regulating physiological processes such as plant hormonal levels and enzyme activity. Experimental results suggest that the cis-1R,5S-stereoisomer treatment inhibits starch accumulation during wheat grain filling, reducing wheat yield, while the cis-1S,5R-stereoisomer treatment is recommended for improved growth and yield.

Summary: The source-sink ratio affects wheat yield, but is influenced by climate and nitrogen deficiency. An increase in sink capacity leads to a higher degree of source limitation. Chuanmai 104 shows better performance in source-sink relations.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of extreme high-temperature stress on wheat grain yield and quality, focusing on grain protein concentration as a key factor. The research found that high-temperature stress significantly reduced total above-ground nitrogen and accelerated grain nitrogen accumulation, with more sensitivity at anthesis compared to grain filling. The study also enhanced a crop model to better simulate nitrogen dynamics and grain quality under high-temperature stress, reducing uncertainties in assessing climate change effects on wheat grain quality.

Summary: This study evaluated the compatibility and stability of 25 wheat genotypes in different regions and identified superior genotypes. The results showed that Isfahan was the ideal environment, while Damavand and Varamin were ideal environments. The AMMI method explained a significant portion of the data variance.
