Proposed model of TAC1‐mediated leaf angle regulation in tobacco. ABSTRACT Plant architecture is key to crop yield, with leaf angle being critical for high‐density cultivation. Although TAC1 represents a promising regulator of leaf angle for breeding, its molecular mechanism remains poorly understood, particularly at single‐nucleus resolution. Here, we

ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...

Conventional Versus Organic Wheat Production: Implications on Breeding and the Supply Chain
ABSTRACT The majority of the wheat produced worldwide originates from conventional (CON) farming systems. However, EU policies aim to tremendously expand the area dedicated to organic (ORG) farming by 2030, which could affect stakeholders in the wheat supply chain and wheat breeding strategies.

ABSTRACT Seed yield and composition are major targets in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) breeding programmes, but simultaneous improvement is constrained by unfavourable correlations among target traits. In this study, we evaluated the potential of different selection indices to simultaneously improve seed yield and quality traits in soybean.

ABSTRACT Extreme heat can push plants beyond their thermal safety margin (TSM) if maximum leaf temperature (Tleaf_max) exceeds leaf critical temperature (Tcrit). The TSM is potentially useful for assessing heat vulnerability across species but needs further validation, so we exposed 50 tree/shrub species in controlled glasshouses to a 6‐day heatwave ...
