ABSTRACT Drought stress is a major limitation to global wheat production. Here, we demonstrate that the wheat gene TaCOMT1A, encoding a caffeic acid O‐methyltransferase, plays a crucial role in enhancing drought tolerance in wheat. Overexpression of TaCOMT1A significantly improved drought tolerance at the seedling stage, as evidenced by higher survival

Comparative Genome‐Wide Association Studies of Metabolites and Grain‐Related Traits in Common Wheat
ABSTRACT The metabolome is highly diverse and the closest layer to phenotype; therefore, it is commonly regarded as a bridge between the genome and phenome in plants. Here, we performed large‐scale metabolome analysis using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) and 33 grain‐related traits in a diverse panel of natural accessions and

ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

ABSTRACT Phenomic selection (PS) offers a cost‐effective, breeder‐friendly approach for public breeding programmes with limited access to genotyping or restricted financial resources for laboratory infrastructure. Since PS relies on high‐throughput phenotyping data, which is often derived from near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) of harvested seeds ...
