Recent advances in the genomics of sugarcane (Saccharum)
This review systematically summarizes advances in sugarcane genomics, evolution, classification, and breeding practices. It identifies key research bottlenecks and proposes an integrated research framework to facilitate predictive sugarcane breeding, which provides valuable references for genetic improvement of other complex polyploid crops.

Natural variation in the GNH1 promoter enhances plant height and grain yield in rice
Natural variation in the GRAIN NUMBER AND PLANT HEIGHT 1 (GNH1) promoter alleviates repression by the C2H2‐type transcription factor ZFP36, upregulating GNH1 expression and promoting auxin accumulation, thereby increasing rice plant height and grain yield. This elite allele serves as a valuable genetic resource for molecular breeding of high‐yield rice.

In wheat, phosphorylation of the S‐like RNase TaRNS4 mediated by the kinase TaRLK5 promotes its degradation of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici RNA in the apoplast, enhancing resistance to stripe rust. TaRNS4 can hijack phosphatase TaPP2C10 to relieve its dephosphorylation of TaMAPK6, thereby activating MAPK‐mediated immune responses. ABSTRACT RNase

TaHDA1‐mediated histone and non‐histone deacetylation orchestrates drought tolerance in wheat
The histone deacetylase TaHDA1 is a key regulator linking histone and non‐histone deacetylation with drought adaptation and a potential target for improving drought resilience and grain nutritional quality in wheat. ABSTRACT Drought stress severely constrains wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth and productivity.

This review decodes the grammar of plant cis‐regulatory elements, revealing that their function emerges from sequence, chromatin accessibility, 3D topology, and cell type context. It highlights how single‐cell omics, CRISPR dissection, and AI‐driven design converge to enable predictive engineering and crop improvement. ABSTRACT Cis‐regulatory elements (

Plant Polyploidization via Gene Interference, a robust technology for inducing polyploidy in various rice accessions, uses transient RNAi‐mediated suppression of OSD1 to induce genomic duplication. Two strategies were used to directly induce fertile autotetraploid plants in the first generation, thereby substantially shortening the breeding cycle ...
