Barley HvBODYGUARD1 controls cuticular specialisations regulated by SHINE transcription factors
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Cuticle defects result from defective HvBDG1 alleles. Summary Land plants secrete a protective outer cuticular layer with diverse functions. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) develops two cuticular specialisations: the β‐diketone rich wax bloom on vegetative tissues and an adherent grain surface which sticks to the hulls, leading to barley's distinctive ...

MicroRNAs Regulate Grain Development in Rice
AgronomyEnsuring food security is a challenge for humans. Rice grain yield and quality must urgently be increased to overcome this challenge. MicroRNA (miRNA) is an important regulatory module in plant development and stress responses.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oilseed and cash crop, and seed sucrose content (SSC), seed oil content (SOC) and seed protein content (SPC) are key determinants of seed flavour, texture, and overall quality. Identifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) and candidate genes associated with SSC, SOC and SPC is therefore of ...

Designed Alleles of ZmRap2.7 Decouple the Trade‐Off Between Early Flowering and Yield Penalty
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Flowering time genes often exhibit pleiotropic effects. In particular, early flowering is frequently associated with reduced grain yield due to a shorter growth period. This trade‐off poses a major challenge for developing early‐maturing and high‐yielding varieties, a key breeding objective in modern maize production. Here, we demonstrate that

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.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 ...

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Doubled haploid (DH) technology has been widely adopted in maize (Zea mays L.) breeding programs due to its ability to reduce breeding cycle time and optimize costs. Early ploidy identification is essential for maximizing the efficiency of DH production, particularly prior to chromosome doubling.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The polar lipids in oat grains are crucial due to their biological functions, nutritional quality, potential use in food flavour and processing, the protection they provide against biotic and abiotic stresses, and their ability to act as cellular signalling molecules.
