Integrating Dense Genotyping with High‐Throughput Phenotyping Empowers the Genetic Dissection of Berry Quality and Resilience Traits in Grapevine

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Researchers develop advanced tools to study grapevine traits like berry quality and stress resilience. A 200K SNP array and high‐throughput phenotyping enable the identification of loci linked to berry shape, sugar content, acidity, and cold tolerance. Functional validation of genes such as NAC08 reveals roles in cold tolerance.

GPT-4 as an Agronomist Assistant? Answering Agriculture Exams Using Large Language Models [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in natural language understanding across various domains, including healthcare and finance. For some tasks, LLMs achieve similar or better performance than trained human beings, therefore it is reasonable to employ human exams (e.g., certification tests) to assess the performance of

A Novel OsMPK6‐OsMADS47‐PPKL1/3 Module Controls Grain Shape and Yield in Rice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
OsMADS47 is identified as a key regulator governing rice grain morphology. Phosphorylation‐dependent regulation of its activity directs the development of slender versus round grains, modulating both yield and appearance. This mechanism bridges cellular signaling with transcriptional regulation, establishing a molecular framework for grain optimization.

Development and Breeding of Herbicide‐Resistant Sorghum for Effective Cereal‐Legume Intercropping

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identified two SbALS mutations (A93T and S624N) conferring robust herbicide resistance in sorghum, facilitating efficient weed control. Structural analysis revealed that imazamox resistance is mediated by disrupted herbicide binding. Furthermore, 126 imazamox resistant soybean varieties are screened for sorghum‐soybean intercropping ...
