PstCFEM2 promotes wheat susceptibility by activating TaHA2
Pst stripe rust effector PstCFEM2 activates wheat H+-ATPase TaHA2, promoting apoplastic acidification that suppresses immunity. CRISPR knockout of TaHA2 confers durable rust resistance.
Advanced barley lines showed higher stability and strong trait control
Evaluation of grain quality traits and genotype stability across Mediterranean environments in advanced barley lines and landraces. High heritability and trait correlations identified.
Artichoke pâtés contain mainly oleic and linoleic acids
—
in Food scienceAnalysis of fatty acids and phenolic compounds in commercial and homemade artichoke pâté reveals oleic and linoleic acids as predominant lipids, with chlorogenic acid as major phenolic constituent.
IDD5 and SDW3 link DELLA proteins to stem growth in cereals
DELLA proteins interact with IDD5 and SDW3 transcription factors to regulate gibberellin-dependent stem elongation in wheat and barley, offering new breeding targets for cereal crop improvement.
GWAS identified loci linked to 15 wheat DUS traits
GWAS identifies 57 genetic loci controlling wheat DUS traits in 412 European varieties. Marker associations enable variety identification and breeding applications.
Seed protein composition in amaranth shows stable genetic markers
—
in GeneticsMulti-environment GWAS identifies stable genomic loci and regulatory mechanisms controlling seed protein composition in grain amaranth, revealing trans-regulatory control of protein fractions.
TiO2 foliar spray improved late-sown wheat yield and quality
—
in AgronomyFoliar TiO2 application mitigates late-sown wheat yield losses by enhancing photosynthetic physiology, antioxidant defense, and grain quality across critical growth stages.
Barley metabolite levels varied with genotype and stress type
Metabolomic characterization of barley stress responses reveals genotype-dependent metabolite accumulation patterns and candidate biomarkers under single and combined abiotic stresses.
Canopy temperature in wheat varied by time of day and growth stage
Canopy temperature in wheat varies significantly across diurnal cycles and phenological stages under Mediterranean conditions, requiring multi-temporal phenotyping protocols for accurate thermal.
High molybdenum with low nitrogen improved wheat yield-related measures
Study examines nitrogen-molybdenum interactions in winter wheat, finding that elevated molybdenum under reduced nitrogen enhances yield and nitrogen use efficiency.
