Rice EMF3 Alleles Adjust Flower Opening Time to Enhance the Seed Setting Rate Under High Temperature Stress

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4780-4798, August 2026.
ABSTRACT To safeguard global food security against rapid population growth and a warming world, the effective genetic improvement of cereals is imperative. Flower opening time (FOT) critically affects the seed setting rate. In this study, we identified a gene, EARLY‐MORNING FLOWERING 3 (EMF3), in which single‐nucleotide substitutions strongly modulate ...

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

open access: yesPlant 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 ...

Comparing Cold Tolerance of sorghum (S. bicolor) A1 and A2 Cytoplasm‐Based Hybrids

open access: yesPlant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 4, Page 789-807, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Systematic exploitation of heterosis via breeding of F1 hybrids is a major contributor to genetic gain in many major crops, including sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench). Different cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) systems have been identified for controlled F1 hybrid seed production in sorghum, with the so‐called A1 and A2 CMS systems being ...

Genomic and Physiological Insights Into Heat–Drought Tolerance in Wheat Through GWAS and Phenotypic Evaluation

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5511-5529, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change‐driven heat and drought stresses during reproductive stages significantly threaten wheat productivity. To investigate the genetic and physiological basis of combined heat–drought (HD) tolerance, we evaluated 345 wheat genotypes under three environments of HD stresses, non‐stress glasshouse conditions and a late‐sowing field ...

Vestigial Plastids in Parasitic Plants: Evolutionary Remnants or Adaptive Innovations?

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5401-5420, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Throughout the evolutionary history of plants, chloroplasts originating from a cyanobacterial endosymbiosis have undergone remarkable adaptation and specialization, giving rise to a multitude of plastid types. The evolution toward parasitism in plants represents a particularly extreme case of such specialization.
