Summary: Marker-assisted backcrossing was used to introgress four blast-resistance genes (Piz, Pib, Pita, and Pik) into a susceptible japonica Italian rice variety, and an additional blast-resistance gene (Pita2/Ptr) was found, resulting in a total of five introgressed blast-resistance genes. Molecular analysis and phenotypic evaluations confirmed the broad-spectrum resistance of the developed lines. These blast-resistant japonica lines with multiple resistance genes will be valuable donors for future rice-breeding programs.

Summary: In this study, molecular marker-assisted selection was used for multi-gene pyramiding in Chinese cabbage breeding. Traits such as self-compatibility, multilocular ovaries, and clubroot resistance were selected using flanking markers and gene sequence-based markers. The resulting multi-gene pyramided line with a high genomic background recovery rate is expected to be valuable for further breeding programs.

Summary: Bacterial, fungal, and viral diseases of tomato are major causes of yield losses, especially in humid growing environments. Chromosome 11 of tomato contains genes that confer resistance to several prominent tomato pathogens. Marker-assisted selection and pedigree breeding strategy were used to combine these resistance genes into a linked cassette, which can be inherited in future crosses. The recombinant plants with combined resistance showed similar resistance levels to the controls, indicating the effectiveness of trait markers on chromosome 11 for selecting disease-resistant plants.

Summary: Wheat production worldwide is facing challenges from pests and pathogens, as well as the misuse of chemicals, leading to insecticide resistance. The need for sustainable agriculture has led to the breeding of wheat cultivars with durable resistance traits, which are crucial for wheat production. Various genetic breeding techniques have been successfully used to improve wheat cultivars, but there are still challenges in wheat molecular breeding programs. This review summarizes the recent advances and limitations of molecular breeding in common wheat cultivar improvement.

Summary: This study aimed to enhance rice yield by introducing key yield genes from MTU3626 and NLR33892 into the background variety BPT5204. The results showed that the intercrossed line ICL12 exhibited the highest yield advantage and the combination of LP1 gene with other yield genes resulted in higher grain yield. Marker-assisted gene pyramiding was proven to be an excellent approach for enhancing rice yield.

Summary: Tomatoes are important vegetable crops, and genomics-assisted breeding shows great potential in this field. With the rapid development and cost reduction of sequencing technologies, as well as the use of high-throughput genotyping platforms and bioinformatics tools, the tomato genome has been decoded and extensively studied, providing valuable information for breeding programs. Genomics-assisted breeding has made progress in identifying genes and SNP markers associated with agronomic traits, and the genomic selection method is expected to improve breeding efficiency and genetic gain.

Summary: Rice cultivation worldwide is severely affected by blast disease caused by Magnaporthe oryzae, resulting in significant yield loss. To combat this, the marker-assisted introduction of blast-resistant genes has been proposed as a rapid strategy. This study successfully demonstrated the introgression of blast resistance genes into an elite rice cultivar using marker-assisted methods, resulting in lines with high levels of resistance against blast disease.

Summary: This study evaluated the capacity of canola meal-based adsorbents for Cd2+ removal from water. The materials were characterized by their chemical composition and thermal stability, and the most likely mechanism for Cd adsorption was found to be physical. The use of canola meal as a feedstock for activated biochar production shows potential for producing competitive adsorbents.

Summary: The pathogenicity of Phakopsora pachyrhizi, the causal agent of Asian soybean rust, showed a higher diversity and variation in 2018 and 2019 samples compared to those from 2016 in Bangladesh. The pathogenicity profiles of the Bangladeshi samples were different from those of Argentinian and Brazilian samples, but showed some similarities with Japanese, Mexican and Paraguayan samples. None of the resistance genes (Rpp genes) was effective against all tested samples, but some samples were virulent to all known Rpp genes. Pyramiding multiple resistance genes in soybean cultivars provided robust resistance against these virulent samples.

Summary: The aim of this study was to evaluate the isolated effect and the combination of products in the chemical treatment on the physiological potential of soybean seeds with different vigor levels, after different storage periods. The study found that storing seeds under uncontrolled conditions leads to greater deterioration, which can be intensified by previous chemical treatment. The use of drying powder alone caused the greatest losses in the different situations studied. To ensure the maintenance of the physiological potential of soybean seeds, treatment should be carried out as close as possible to sowing.

Summary: Asian soybean rust is one of the most threatening diseases in soybean, and researchers have found that soybeans in Uruguay are exposed to multiple pathotypes of the pathogen. The diversity of the pathogen is higher within fields than among fields. Some soybean cultivars with specific resistant genes can resist most of the pathotypes, while others are susceptible to all pathotypes. Breeding for resistance should take into consideration the high diversity of the pathogen and consider the stacking of resistant genes and introducing horizontal resistance.
