Summary: The study examined the effectiveness of different vegetation indices for breeding line selection and found a strong correlation between NDVI readings from aerial and ground-based sensors. NDVI was related to pea genotype rankings and early growth biomass production, with a positive correlation to seed yield in water limiting environments. High vigour scores were associated with increased seed yield in drier environments, but lower yields in better conditions.

Summary: The study found that different wheat genotypes exhibited varying patterns of root C allocation, influencing nitrogen cycling. Thicker roots released more C into soil, enhancing nitrogen mineralization and microbial biomass, which in turn increased nitrogen cycling enzyme activity and residue nitrogen uptake by wheat. Microbial community structure was strongly correlated with root C allocation patterns, with certain genera showing strong relationships with root C deposition and nitrogen uptake.

Summary: This study assessed the accuracy of a gridded weather dataset called MSWX in modeling wheat performance in Iran. The results showed that MSWX temperature had higher accuracy than AgERA5, while MSWX solar radiation had weaker performance. It was found that MSWX temperature data could be the best replacement for measured temperature data in the study area.

Summary: Terminal heat stress is a major threat to wheat production due to global climate change. This study compared phenological-physio-biochemical traits of heat-tolerant and heat-susceptible genotypes under heat stress and extended heat stress conditions. Heat-tolerant genotypes maintained balanced traits, while heat-sensitive genotypes showed significant reductions. Normalized difference vegetation index and chlorophyll had consistently positive impacts on yield. Heat-tolerant genotypes showed induced biochemical activity of superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, and ascorbate peroxidase under heat stress.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the role of different glutathione transferases in the response to herbicide treatment and to determine how the antioxidant and detoxification response changes in the presence and absence of light. The results showed that the transcriptional upregulation of GST genes may contribute to the greater and more successful response of wheat to herbicide treatment.

Summary: The genetic architecture of resistance to spot blotch in wheat was investigated through a Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) involving 303 diverse genotypes. The study evaluated the association panel at two different locations in India and recorded phenotypic data for two consecutive years. After analysis, seven important marker-trait associations were identified for marker-assisted selection.

Summary: The study found that planting winter wheat after soybean resulted in significantly higher grain and straw yield, as well as improved quality parameters compared to planting after winter oilseed rape. The tillage system did not have a significant impact on winter wheat grain yield, but conventional tillage system was beneficial for increasing straw yield and plant height, while the no-tillage system improved the thousand grain weight. Wheat grain harvested under conventional tillage system had better test weight, grain uniformity, and lower gluten index than under no-tillage.

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 locally grown ancient wheat varieties Carosella and Majorca showed high polyphenol content and antioxidant activity. Whole wheat flour exhibited the highest antioxidant activity, indicating that these two wheat varieties could be potential sources of antioxidants with significant health benefits.

Summary: In a high-yield environment, inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense caused slight changes in the nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium concentrations in cereal crops, with varying effects on maize and wheat. Wheat showed a more significant response to inoculation compared to maize, particularly in response to nitrogen application levels. Rainfall distribution during growing seasons may also impact the crop responses to inoculation and nitrogen fertilization levels. Overall, inoculation resulted in increased maize and wheat yields under similar nitrogen input, with the strategy showing potential economic gains.

Summary: Although Azospirillum brasilense is commonly used in inoculant formulations, its prevalence in field conditions is still limited. In this study, A. brasilense was found in soil only at radicle emergency, and from the fifth day onwards, it was detected in roots at concentrations ranging from 10(3) to 10(5) CFU g(-1) of fresh root. This research provided a sensitive method for monitoring A. brasilense in field trials and offered new insights into the ecology of maize and A. brasilense interaction.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of dolomitic lime and phosphogypsum applications on soil chemical attributes, plant nutrition, and grain yield in direct-seeded flooded rice. Liming alleviated topsoil acidity and increased soil pH, while phosphogypsum application increased nutrient availability throughout the soil profile. Overall, phosphogypsum application improved rice yield by 10-11% by increasing SO4-S availability in the soil profile.

Summary: The study evaluated the impact of insecticide and fungicide formulations on the population of A. brasilense and its ability to promote plant growth. It found that seed pesticide dressings led to increased mortality of A. brasilense and decreased its ability to promote wheat growth. However, immediate inoculation and seed treatment before sowing can maintain the beneficial effects of A. brasilense.

Summary: The study found that applying lime combined with phosphogypsum in tropical no-till systems can improve soil fertility, enhance soybean root growth, and increase plant nutrition and physiological responses, resulting in improved crop resistance to dry spells. These long-term soil amendments also increased the movement of cationic bases and roots in the soil profile, improving soybean nutrition. Moreover, the application of lime and phosphogypsum enhanced carbon and antioxidant metabolism in soybean plants, leading to higher grain yield despite the occurrence of dry spells in the tropical region.
