Genome-wide mapping linked 19 loci to malt quality in Ethiopian barley
Multi-locus GWAS identifies 19 genomic loci controlling malt quality in Ethiopian barley, enabling marker-assisted breeding for superior malting cultivars.
GSK3 stabilizes DOG1L4 to increase wheat seed dormancy
GSK3 phosphorylates DOG1L4 and ABI5 to enhance wheat seed dormancy, revealing a dual-target strategy for controlling pre-harvest sprouting resistance in crops.
Haplotype mapping identified rust-resistance signals in elite wheat
Haplotype mapping and introgression fitness indexing accelerate development of rust-resistant wheat while preserving elite genetic backgrounds and durability.
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.
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.
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.
Stable wheat height loci identified on chromosomes 3D, 4D, 5A, and 7A
Novel wheat height loci identified through genome-wide association analysis in Sichuan cultivars, validated across environments with implications for marker-assisted breeding and yield optimization
Purple barley showed higher quercetin-related gene expression
Transcriptome analysis reveals how purple barley accumulates quercetin through coordinated expression of biosynthesis genes during grain maturation, with implications for crop improvement and.
