Summary: This study developed a genome-wide set of KASP markers for marker-assisted recurrent selection in the tetraploid minor crop perilla. By using genotyping-by-sequencing to construct high-resolution linkage maps of two F2 populations, 96 genome-wide markers were selected for MARS. The accuracy of markers was confirmed using a high-throughput Fluidigm system, providing a foundation for marker-assisted backcrossing and the development of new varieties of perilla.

Summary: The Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change Project aimed to enhance the diversity and accessibility of crop wild relatives through seed collecting expeditions. A total of 4587 unique seed samples from at least 355 CWR taxa were collected, conserved, and made available through the Multilateral System of the Plant Treaty. Collections were made for all 28 targeted crops, with potato and eggplant being the most collected genepools. Several of the newly collected samples have already been utilized in pre-breeding programs to adapt crops to future challenges.

Summary: In this study, high oleic acid peanut mutant alleles were introgressed into two popular peanut cultivars through markers-assisted selection and backcrossing. The resulting lines showed significantly increased oleic acid content without affecting kernel mineral and vitamin composition. The introgression lines with improved oleic acid content and high pod yield potential could be released for commercial cultivation.

Summary: Perilla seed oil (PO) is a traditional Chinese edible oil with high nutritional and medicinal value. Adding PO to yogurt can improve its pH value, water holding capacity, and antioxidant properties. The yogurt fortified with 2% PO has the highest counts of beneficial bacteria and the presence of certain bacteria positively affects the sensory characteristics of the yogurt. PO reduces the content of lactic acid, acetic acid, and malic acid in yogurt and improves the composition of fatty acids, making it more nutritious. Overall, PO shows promise as a fortifier for functional yogurt development.

Summary: This study investigated genetic variation and population structure among 31 maize accessions using 50 SSR markers and seven quantitative agronomic traits. The results showed abundant genetic variation among the genotypes, with 418 alleles detected and an average of 8.4 alleles per locus. The population structure divided the maize accessions into two main groups and an admixed group. Association analysis detected significant SSR markers associated with agronomic traits, which could be useful for future genetic studies. Further testing on a wide range of genotypes is needed to consider these markers as candidates for marker assisted selection for South Sudan maize improvement.

Summary: The effects of carbon nanodots (CND) and manganese ferrite (MnFe2O4) nanoparticles (NP) on drought stress tolerance in maize were studied. The results showed that CND-treated inbred lines exhibited better drought tolerance in terms of growth and physiological characteristics, while MnFe2O4 NP-treated lines showed better drought tolerance in terms of growth and physiological characteristics. These findings suggest that CND and MnFe2O4 NP can improve the response of different populations of maize to drought stress.
