Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 175, Issue 6, November/December 2023., 2023 Abstract Drought is a major abiotic stress that impairs the physiology and development of plants, ultimately leading to crop yield losses. Drought tolerance is a complex quantitative trait influenced by multiple genes and metabolic pathways. However, molecular intricacies and subsequent morphological and physiological changes in response to drought ...

New Phytologist, Volume 238, Issue 5, Page 2080-2098, June 2023., 2023 Summary Glycosyltransferases are nature's versatile tools to tailor the functionalities of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and small molecules by transferring sugars. Prominent substrates are hydroxycoumarins such as scopoletin, which serve as natural plant protection agents.

A spatiotemporal transcriptomic network dynamically modulates stalk development in maize
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 20, Issue 12, Page 2313-2331, December 2022., 2022 Summary Maize (Zea mays) is an important cereal crop with suitable stalk formation which is beneficial for acquiring an ideal agronomic trait to resist lodging and higher planting density. The elongation pattern of stalks arises from the variable growth of individual internodes driven by cell division and cell expansion comprising the maize stalk ...

Unravelling consensus genomic regions conferring leaf rust resistance in wheat via meta‐QTL analysis
The Plant Genome, Volume 15, Issue 1, March 2022., 2022 Abstract Leaf rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia triticina Erikss (Pt), is a destructive disease affecting wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and a threat to food security. Developing resistant cultivars represents a useful method of disease control, and thus, understanding the genetic basis for leaf rust resistance is required. To this end, a comprehensive

BioMed Research International, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Combined stress has been seen as a major threat to world agriculture production. Maize is one of the leading cereal crops of the world due to its wide spectrum of growth conditions and is moderately sensitive to salt stress. A saline soil environment is a major factor that hinders its growth and overall yield and causes an increase in the concentration

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 3, Issue 6, Page 721-736, November 2021., 2021 To feed the world's ever‐increasing population, new genetic approaches are required. Increasing the number of living spikelets is one promising way to improve grain yield. This, in turn, increases the number of spikelets per plant, thereby increasing the total yield.

Novel sources of resistance to blast disease in finger millet
Crop Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 250-262, January/February 2021., 2021 Abstract Finger millet (Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn. subsp. coracana) is the most important millet in eastern Africa and perhaps the oldest domesticated cereal grain in Africa. One of the major factors limiting finger millet production is blast disease caused by the fungus Magnaporthe grisea.

Measuring catalytic mechanism similarity - a new approach to study enzyme function and evolution. [PDF]
FEBS JWe introduce a previously undescribed computational method to measure the similarity of enzyme mechanisms, enabling comparison of catalytic steps across hundreds of enzymes. Applying this method to a database of enzyme mechanisms demonstrated its ability to automatically uncover functional and evolutionary relationships, independently of sequence and ...

Genome‐wide association study identifies five new cadmium uptake loci in wheat
The Plant Genome, Volume 13, Issue 2, July 2020., 2020 Abstract Cadmium (Cd) toxicity is a serious threat to future food security and health safety. To identify genetic factors contributing to Cd uptake in wheat, we conducted a genome‐wide association study with genotyping from 90K SNP array. A spring wheat diversity panel was planted under normal conditions and Cd stress (50 mg Cd/kg soil).
