Potential unlocked: an atlas of cloned wheat genes for genome engineering and breeding

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1677-1683, August 2026.
Strategies for introducing genome edits into a wheat breeding program and their effects on cultivar longevity. Summary Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) production is increasingly threatened by biotic and abiotic stresses. Developing varieties with improved stress tolerance and desirable end‐use qualities is crucial for meeting growing global demand ...

Negative Regulators of Rice Agronomic Traits: Functional Insights and Applications in Genome Editing‐Based Breeding

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4984-5001, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Rice is the staple crop for more than half of the global population, and improving grain yield, grain quality, and stress resistance remain central goals of modern rice breeding. Among current precision breeding strategies, genome editing has created new opportunities for crop improvement, but its success depends heavily on the selection of ...

Drought‐Induced Abscisic Acid Accumulation in Soybean Roots Depends on NCED Gene Expression More Than Shoot‐to‐Root ABA Transport

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4166-4177, July 2026.
Abstract Abscisic acid (ABA) is a key phytohormone in plant responses to water deficit. Although there is extensive evidence that roots can synthesise ABA, recent findings suggest that local synthesis in response to dehydration contributes little to the root ABA pool compared to shoot‐sourced ABA.

Identifying a Carotenoid Cleavage Dioxygenase (ccd4) Gene Controlling Yellow/White Fruit Flesh Color of Peach

, 2013
Peach flesh color is a monogenic trait with the white phenotype being dominant over the yellow; its expression has been reported to be determined by a carotenoid degradative enzyme.

Investigating the role of carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 4 in Mimulus lewisii nectar guide pigmentation

, 2017
Variation in the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway (CPB) in flowers is evolutionarily important due to its influence on pollinator specificity. In tomato flowers,elimination of β-carotenoid hydroxylase (BCH1) lead to an expected change in carotenoid ...

Comparison of carotenoid, chlorophyll concentrations and their biosynthetic transcript levels in different coloured cauliflower

Horticultural Plant Journal
Carotenoids and chlorophylls are among the most widely distributed pigments in nature that play essential roles in the photosynthetic apparatus and confer diverse colours in plants. Among all vegetables, cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L. ssp.
