A chromosome‐scale genome assembly of Hordeum erectifolium: genomic, transcriptomic and anatomical adaptations to drought in a wild barley relative [PDF]
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 4, Page 2652-2669, May 2026.Summary Wild crop relatives are valuable genetic resources for improving stress adaptation in cultivated species, but their effective use depends on high‐quality reference genomes integrated with phenotypic and molecular datasets. Hordeum erectifolium, a wild relative of barley (H.

Spatial Regulation of Silicon Accumulation in Peduncle Confers Sheathed Spike in Barley [PDF]
Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 8, Page 4766-4779, August 2026.ABSTRACT Peduncle, the uppermost internode in cereals, connects the stem to the inflorescence and is critical for the transport of water, nutrients and photosynthetic assimilates. While peduncle length associates with plant height and its elongation is primarily regulated by phytohormones, we report a previously unrecognized mechanism involving the ...

Reassessing the Role of Root Hairs in Adaptation to Low Phosphorus Conditions: Lessons From Wild Barley [PDF]
Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 4, July/August 2026.ABSTRACT Phosphorus (P) deficiency is one of the most widespread constraints on global crop productivity. Root hairs are widely regarded as a pivotal tissue for P acquisition, yet their quantitative contribution to P uptake and subsequent plant performance remains unclear.

Structure‐informed engineering of plant–microbe interactions [PDF]
The Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 1, July 2026.SUMMARY This review critically evaluates how structural biology has enabled interface‐informed engineering of plant–microbe interactions, with a clear emphasis on the relative maturity of plant–pathogen research compared with symbiosis engineering. In plant immunity, atomic resolution structures of apoplastic receptors, host targets, and intracellular ...

Genetic diversity and ecological niche modelling of wild barley: refugia, large-scale post-LGM range expansion and limited mid-future climate threats? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Describing genetic diversity in wild barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum) in geographic and environmental space in the context of current, past and potential future climates is important for conservation and for breeding the domesticated crop ...

Hybridization between landrace varieties of Ethiopian barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. vulgare) and the progenitor of barley (H. vulgare ssp. spontaneum) [PDF]
Hereditas, 2008 Representative landraces of Ethiopian barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. vulgare) were reciprocally intercrossed with the wild progenitor (H. vulgare ssp. spontaneum). Fertilization success, hybrid (F1 and F2) performances. and inheritance mechanisms were studied.

Quantitative Trait Loci and Inter-Organ Partitioning for Essential Metal and Toxic Analogue Accumulation in Barley. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The concentrations of both essential nutrients and chemically similar toxic analogues accumulated in cereal grains have a major impact on the nutritional quality and safety of crops. Naturally occurring genetic diversity can be exploited for the breeding

Coordination between plant and apex development in Hordeum vulgare ssp. distichum [PDF]
Comptes Rendus. Biologies, 2010 Developmental scales for cereals describe apex and plant morphology separately. In order to link crucial steps of internal and external development, in three varieties of Hordeum vulgare spp. distichum L., sown in autumn and in spring, we recorded plant,
