Aflatoxin B1 occurrence and risk estimation to human health associated with agricultural practices in peanut production systems

Food Safety and Risk
Aflatoxin contamination in peanuts is a significant health risk to consumers due to its carcinogenic nature. In this study, the concentration of Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in peanut kernels and the associated risk of hepatocarcinoma were evaluated across ...

Allelic Variation in Maize Malate Dehydrogenase 7 Shapes Promoter Methylation and Banded Leaf and Sheath Blight Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study maize chloroplastic malate dehydrogenase7 (ZmMDH7), is identified as a Rhizoctonia solani resistance gene in maize. ZmMDH7 is regulated by transcription factor ZmWRKY44 via pathogens challenge to elevate mitochondrial ROS and SA signaling pathway.

Comparing the reliability of maize variety data from on-farm trials and experimental stations

Journal für Kulturpflanzen, 2014
While current variety recommendations are based on replicated small-plot trials in a specific region for which the trial is thought to be representative, genotype × envi­ronment interactions, genotype × management interactions, and increasing weather ...

Domestication of Tartary Buckwheat Shaped a Regulatory Module for Seedling Salt Tolerance by Targeting the Magnesium Transporter Gene FtMGT2

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Domestication of Tartary buckwheat is selected for a salt tolerance mechanism involving the magnesium transporter FtMGT2. Its expression is controlled by the FtAGL16‐FtMYB15L module, which is stabilized under salt stress through a competitive interaction that blocks its degradation by the E3 ligase FtBRG1, ultimately boosting Na⁺ efflux and plant ...

Association of yield-related traits in founder genotypes and derivatives of common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background Yield improvement is an ever-important objective of wheat breeding. Studying and understanding the phenotypes and genotypes of yield-related traits has potential for genetic improvement of crops.

Precision Editing of NLRS Improves Effector Recognition for Enhanced Disease Resistance

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Precision engineering of plant NLR immune receptors enables rational design of enhanced pathogen resistance through mismatched pairing, domain swapping, and targeted mutagenesis. These approaches achieve multi‐fold expansion in recognition breadth while minimizing autoimmunity risks and fitness penalties.

Predicting malting barley protein concentration [PDF]

, 2007
The preferred grain protein concentration (CP) of malting barley is 10.5-11.0%, but 9.5-11.5% is acceptable. It is a challenge for farmers to achieve this target with crops grown in heterogeneous fields and exposed to fluctuating weather conditions ...

Soybean Auxin Transporter PIN3 Regulates Nitrate Acquisition to Improve Nitrogen Use and Seed Traits

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Xu et al. discovers that switching off auxin transporters in soybean, PIN3a and PIN3b, disrupts auxin flow; this triggers ARF‐STF3/4 signal cascade to activate the nitrate importer NPF2.13 and soil nitrogen acquisition. Multi‐year field trials show edited soybeans maintain yield with higher oil content, offering a potential genetic route to improve ...

Identification of Allele-Specific Expression Genes Associated with Maize Heterosis

Agronomy, 2023
Deciphering the molecular basis of heterosis would yield genes and markers for designing improved maize-hybrid varieties. In this study, 481 BC1F3 lines derived from Zheng58 and PH4CV were genotyped with 15,386 polymorphic SNPs markers and testcrossed ...

Modelling predicts that heat stress and not drought will limit wheat yield in Europe [PDF]

, 2010
Global warming is characterised by shifts in weather patterns and increases in extreme weather events. New crop cultivars with specific physiological traits will therefore be required if climate change is not to result in losses of yield and food ...
