Genetic Mapping for Winter‐Hardiness in a Miscanthus sacchariflorus × M. sinensis (Hardy × Non‐Hardy) F2 Population

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 10, October 2026.
Genetic mapping of a Miscanthus sacchariflorus × M. sinensis F2 population identified 37 QTLs associated with winter‐hardiness, including repeated regions across traits and years. Favorable alleles from the hardy M. sacchariflorus parent and candidate cold‐stress genes highlight targets for marker‐assisted breeding of winter‐hardy biomass cultivars ...

A TAF10‐ERF109 Transcriptional Module Directs Flavonoid‐Based Stress Resilience and Yield Enhancement in Foxtail Millet and Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 10, Page 5352-5368, October 2026.
ABSTRACT To ensure sustainable agricultural production under escalating environmental constraints such as drought and salinity, innovative strategies are urgently needed. Here, we reveal in foxtail millet (Setaria italica) that transcription factors TAF10 and ERF109 form a functional complex which co‐activates the expression of key flavonoid ...
