Summary: Aegilops tauschii, the D-genome donor of bread wheat, is a genetic resource with a large diversity of morpho-physiological traits and adaptations to a wide ecological range. Through genome-wide association studies, markers or genes associated with morpho-physiological traits were identified, revealing differences in genetic diversity between different lineages, which are valuable for wheat breeding.

Summary: The tolerance of Triticum aestivum to mesosulfuron-methyl is higher than that of A. tauschii. The absorption and metabolism of mesosulfuron-methyl are different between the two species. The cytochrome P450 monooxygenase inhibitor, malathion, increases the sensitivity of T. aestivum to mesosulfuron-methyl.

Summary: This study investigated the genetic basis of resistance against Fusarium head blight and the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol in Aegilops tauschii, the diploid progenitor of the wheat D subgenome. By analyzing a panel of Ae. tauschii accessions, a uridine diphosphate (UDP)-glucosyltransferase (UGT) gene on chromosome 5D was identified as the causal variant for susceptibility to the mycotoxin. This UGT gene was also found to be involved in DON detoxification in hexaploid wheat. The findings highlight the conservation of this resistance mechanism in wheat and barley.

Summary: Triticum aestivum and Aegilops tauschii have different tillering responses to the auxin herbicide 2,4-D isooctyl ester, with differential expression of genes involved in plant hormone metabolism and signal transduction pathways. Abscisic acid (ABA) and cytokinin (CTK) levels are implicated in the differences in tillering response regulated by 2,4-D isooctyl ester between the two species.

Summary: The study reveals that T. aestivum is more sensitive to 2,4-D isooctyl ester compared to A. tauschii, potentially due to differences in leaf surface properties. T. aestivum showed significantly higher uptake of 2,4-D isooctyl ester than A. tauschii over the experimental period, leading to greater accumulation of the herbicide's primary metabolite in plants. Additionally, T. aestivum exhibited higher expression levels of the auxin receptor transport inhibitor response (TIR1) gene compared to A. tauschii, indicating potential differences in herbicide sensitivity mechanisms between the two species.

Summary: The study identified PHS-3D as a gene responsible for pre-harvest sprouting resistance in wheat, with its resistance effect attributed to the pleiotropic Myb10-D gene. The research demonstrated that Myb10-D delays germination by enhancing the biosynthesis of flavonoids and abscisic acid (ABA) in wheat, providing valuable insights for selecting white grained PHS resistant wheat cultivars.

Summary: This study evaluated the resistance to Fusarium crown rot (FCR) in a collection of 286 A. tauschii accessions and identified five accessions with moderate resistance. Genome-wide association mapping revealed multiple significant SNPs on chromosomes 2D and 7D associated with FCR resistance. The resistance loci were independent of flowering time, heading date, and plant height. Six candidate genes encoding disease resistance-related proteins were selected for further validation.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanisms underlying wheat resistance to F. graminearum infection through integrated metabolomics and transcriptomics analysis, identifying potential pathways for improving FHB resistance in wheat. Experiments showed that exogenous application of certain compounds increased wheat resistance to FHB, while knockdown of the auxin receptor gene TaTIR1 also enhanced FHB resistance, indicating the potential use of this gene in crop improvement programs.
