Summary: Plant male sterility refers to the inability of plants to produce functional anthers, pollen, or male gametes. Developing male sterility lines is crucial in plant breeding programs, especially for F1 hybrid production. Various techniques, ranging from conventional breeding methods to advanced genome editing technologies such as CRISPR/Cas-based tools, have been used to achieve male sterility. CRISPR/Cas-mediated gene knockout has emerged as a promising and efficient method for altering gene function and inducing male sterility. This article provides an overview of plant male sterility and focuses on the recent advancements and applications of CRISPR-based breeding techniques for inducing male sterility and introducing desirable alleles.

Summary: Phylogenetic analysis has shown that Argyranthemum broussonetii is polyphyletic, with its subspecies being resolved in separate clades within the Macaronesian endemic genus Argyranthemum. Differences between the subspecies in leaf traits illustrate adaptation to similar habitats, with their distinction relying on capitula and cypselae characteristics. The proposed recognition of A. broussonetii subsp. gomerensis as a subspecies of A. callichrysum is supported by similarities in capitula and cypselae characters.

Summary: Underutilized crops have valuable traits and are important for addressing climate change and increasing global population. Going beyond reference genomes is crucial to identify specific genes and adaptive alleles. Population genomic and pangenomic approaches have identified stress- and disease-tolerant alleles in staple crops, but this research is limited for underutilized crops. Genomic advances have benefited previously underutilized crops, and breeding targets in these crops often align with those in staple crops. Cross-crop population-level resequencing can help understand the genetic basis of adaptive traits in underutilized crops. This level of investment is important for fully understanding the value of these crops before they are lost.

Summary: In this study, a high-quality chromosome-level genome of golden buckwheat was assembled, and a one-to-one syntenic relationship with the chromosomes of Tartary buckwheat was found. Two large inversions that differentiate golden buckwheat and Tartary buckwheat were identified. Metabolomic and genetic comparisons showed amplified gene families and increased medicinal flavonoid content in golden buckwheat. Candidate genes involved in flavonoid accumulation and plant architecture differentiation were also identified. This comparative genomic study provides important genomic resources for improving buckwheat with excellent nutritional and medicinal value.

Summary: Underutilised crops have great potential for breeding programmes in the face of climate change and population growth due to their improved stress tolerance and/or nutrition. Therefore, developing genome resources for these crops can enhance their use by providing insights into population structure, phylogeny, candidate genes, and linkage mapping. In this study, we sequenced and assembled the nuclear and plastid genomes of five underutilised legumes and developed a pipeline to identify thousands of markers that can be used in other species. Our findings provide valuable information for genomic and population genetic studies of these crops and offer approaches for investigating other important yet underutilised crops.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the discrimination ability and detection limit of visible and short-wave near-infrared hyperspectral imaging features and spectral information on early implicit bruised pears. Physical characteristics were more sensitive than chemical parameters for bruised pears during postharvest storage. The changes in spectral variations at specific wavelengths could explain the bruising changes in pears. Discrimination models based on selected spectral variables could effectively identify bruised pear areas, and the combination of imaging features and spectral variables achieved higher discrimination rates.
