Summary: The challenges related to food sustainability are escalating due to climate change, epidemics, and wars. Consumers are increasingly opting for plant-based foods like plant milk analogs (PMA) for health, sustainability, and well-being reasons. However, producing PMA using plant matrices has limitations in terms of stability and shelf life. This review explores the obstacles faced by PMA formula quality and safety, as well as emerging technologies aimed at overcoming these challenges.

Summary: The molecular basis of plant breeding and the accumulation of favorable alleles of genes controlling objective traits were investigated in cotton. It was found that the accumulation of favorable alleles is the key to cotton breeding, and a breeding line with a fiber length of 33.8 mm could be further improved by up to 118% through gene-based breeding.

Summary: Organic seed is crucial for organic agriculture, but organic plant breeding lags behind the increasing demand due to a lack of financial resources. European analysis reveals that intellectual property rights, such as plant variety protection, are not suitable for organic seed. New financing strategies based on the concept of seed as a commons and the evaluation of stakeholders' attitude towards an open source strategy show promise for supporting organic plant breeding.
