Summary: This study introgressed the novel wheat powdery mildew and stripe rust resistance genes Pm5V/Yr5V from Dasypyrum villosum and fine mapped them to a narrowed region in 5VS. The results showed that the Pm5V/Yr5V lines have the potential value to facilitate wheat breeding for disease resistance and do not incur a yield penalty in diverse wheat genetic backgrounds.

Summary: The study identified a SEP3-like MADS-box gene TaSEP3-1 in bread wheat, with TaSEP3-D1 showing higher expression levels in floral organs and developing kernels. The favored haplotype D1_h4 of TaSEP3-D1 was associated with heading date, plant height, and other yield-related traits, indicating its potential for improving plant architecture and yield in wheat breeding.

Summary: Wheat is a crucial cereal crop used in a wide range of traditional and modern processed foods. Ancient varieties have evolved into modern ones, with hexaploid and tetraploid wheat dominating global production. The success of wheat is largely attributed to the viscoelastic properties of its gluten proteins, allowing for a variety of staple food forms in the human diet. This review provides a comprehensive look at the evolution of wheat from domestication to its high-yield cultivation today.

Summary: Phosphorus-starvation tolerance 1 (OsPSTOL1) is a gene that promotes crown root growth and phosphorus sufficiency in rice, particularly prevalent in low nutrient and drought-prone rainfed ecosystems. Loss-of-function and absence haplotypes of OsPSTOL1 are more common in control-irrigated paddy varieties in east Asia. Overexpressing OsPSTOL1 in wheat enhances growth and root development under low phosphorus conditions, suggesting its potential value in improving the cultivation of cereal crops.

Summary: This study investigated changes in wheat resistance to wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) at normal and elevated temperatures and their effects on the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in wheat cultivars. The results showed that VOCs in the leaves of resistant (R) and susceptible (S) cultivars responded differently to WSMV and temperature changes. Several metabolic pathways and compounds were up-regulated in R plants, especially at an earlier time and at elevated temperatures. The lipoxygenase pathway played an important role in increasing vector attractiveness and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. The results emphasize the importance of understanding the synchronized regulation of defense-related VOCs for plant resistance to viruses and heat stress.

Summary: Soil salinity restricts plant growth, and wheat is sensitive to toxic ions. Salt-tolerant varieties accumulate more toxic ions and ROS, leading to autophagy and programmed cell death. Induction of autophagosomes and mitophagy play important roles under salt stress.

Summary: This study compared three variants of hard wheat puroindoline (MY26, GX3, and ZM1) with a soft wheat variety (CM605) to identify differentially abundant proteins using proteomic methods. A total of 6253 proteins were identified and quantified via mass spectrometry, and 208 differentially expressed proteins were found between the hard wheat and soft wheat varieties. Cluster analysis divided the proteins into six clusters, with 67 and 41 proteins being more abundant in CM605 and the hard wheat varieties, respectively. Enrichment analysis detected common GO terms, KEGG pathways, and IPR terms across all three comparisons. Additionally, 12 proteins associated with these terms or pathways were found to be differentially expressed in each comparison, including cysteine proteinase inhibitors, invertases, low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits, and alpha amylase inhibitors, which may play a role in grain hardness regulation. The candidate genes identified in this study may contribute to future analyses of the regulatory mechanism underlying grain hardness.

Summary: This study presents the first report on the phylogenetic relationships and chemotype diversity of Fusarium strains in Paraguay. The dominant chemotype of the Fusarium graminearum species complex (FGSC) strains isolated from wheat fields in Paraguay was found to be 15-ADON. The study also identified other Fusarium species, including F. asiaticum, F. meridionale, and F. cortaderiae.

Summary: The cultivation of wheat has been part of human civilization since ancient times, with wheat breeding modifying its characteristics to meet the demands of the bread and pasta industry. A study in Southern Italy found significant differences in agronomic and technological characteristics between landraces and other genotypes.

Summary: In this study, genotypic and phenotypic data on historical Upland cotton lines were used to investigate the potential for genomics-based selection and genomic prediction of fiber quality and other quantitative traits. The results show that genomic selection for fiber quality can be implemented immediately, while the prediction ability for other traits is lower but consistent with heritability. Stably detected genomic hits can improve prediction accuracy.

Summary: Cotton germplasm with reduced regrowth after defoliation and early maturity was developed by altering the growth habit of cotton. High-performance progeny lines with desirable traits were selected based on gene expression analysis and genetic crosses. Some of these lines have entered advanced testing and will be released as germplasm lines.
