Summary: Understanding the physiological factors influencing grain yield is crucial for improving productivity in mungbean. This study assessed the key drivers of yield in mungbean grown under non-water-limiting conditions. The results showed that leaf area played a critical role in radiation interception, which in turn affected total dry matter and grain yield. Genotypes did not significantly differ in yield but allocated most of the dry matter to pod development. The findings provide a quantitative framework for modeling crop adaptation in mungbean.

Summary: Drought stress poses a severe threat to crop production, especially in short duration crops like mungbean. Research efforts have made progress in enhancing climate resilience through classical and next-generation breeding approaches, but there is still a need to explore genetic variations associated with drought tolerance and utilize wild relatives in breeding programs. Integrating high-throughput multi-omics approaches is crucial for developing drought-tolerant mungbean cultivars to address the complex nature of drought tolerance.

Summary: This study identified the genetic factors responsible for the compound raceme of mungbean, providing a unique biological opportunity to improve simultaneous flowering. A single locus that determined the inflorescence type was identified as Comraceme, and quantitative trait loci related to plant architecture and inflorescence have been discovered in genomic regions of soybean syntenic to Comraceme. Through the analysis of the RIL population, it was found that RILs carrying heterozygous fragments around Comraceme produced compound racemes, indicating the dominance of this form over the simple raceme type.

Summary: Silicon is an important element for plants to cope with adverse environmental conditions. It is involved in various processes such as root growth, transportation of other elements, carbon assimilation, enzyme activities, chelation of toxic elements, and regulation of tolerance and grain stability under stress. In stressed plants, silicon seems to have more benefits. It triggers various signaling cascades and affects gene expression related to stress responses and plant tolerance. Silicon also regulates transporters and accumulation of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. Transcriptomic studies have identified many silicon-responsive transcripts. Developing silicon-based technologies will enhance plant tolerance against heat stress while maintaining grain quality.

Summary: In the era of climate change, heat stress poses a serious threat to pea plants, affecting their productivity and germination ability. Pea plants employ various defense strategies to tolerate heat stress, but the specific temperature thresholds and responses are still unknown. Traditional breeding methods and modern genomics technologies can be used to screen and develop heat-tolerant pea genotypes. Precise phenotyping and genomic studies can help identify candidate genes, and transgenic technology can be an alternative approach for developing heat-tolerant pea genotypes.

Summary: Uromyces viciae-fabae is an important fungal pathogen causing rust in peas. It shows host specificity in the field and can infect under different environmental conditions. The resistance to rust in peas is found to be of a quantitative nature. Screening techniques should consider growth stages and environment to accurately assess the disease scores. Molecular markers linked with rust resistance genes have been identified, but further validation is needed before they can be used in breeding programs.

Summary: In this study, 46 NRT2 genes and 8 NAR2 family genes were identified in the bread wheat genome. These genes showed tissue and growth-stage specific nitrate limiting responses and homeolog expression bias in two wheat genotypes. The high-affinity transport capacity of these genes at different physiological stages demonstrated their significant roles in nitrate uptake. Complementation of the atnrt2.1 mutant with TaNRT2.1-B6 gene resulted in increased nitrate influx in Arabidopsis mutant, indicating the functional understanding of these genes in bread wheat.

Summary: Heat shock transcription factors (HSFs) play a significant role in thermotolerance acclimation. In this study, a putative HSF gene (HSFA2h) was identified and cloned from wheat, and its expression was found to be highest in leaf tissue under heat stress. The transgenic Arabidopsis lines expressing HSFA2h showed improved tolerance to heat stress compared with wild type. The expression of HSFA2h and its target gene (HSP18.2) was abundant in the transgenic Arabidopsis plants under heat stress, and a positive correlation between their expression was observed. The findings suggest that HSFA2h may be a potential target for modulating heat tolerance in wheat and other agriculturally important crops.
