ABSTRACT Sesame (Sesamum indicum L., 2n = 26) is one of the oldest oilseed crops and is often called the ‘queen of oilseeds’ due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids and natural antioxidants. Despite its long history, the origin and global spread of cultivated sesame remain unresolved.

ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

SUMMARY To investigate whether root‐sourced ethylene‐precursor 1‐aminocyclopropane‐1‐carboxylic acid (ACC) modulates long‐term salinity responses in tomato, a commercial variety (Solanum lycopersicum L. Mill) was grafted onto three rootstocks differing in ACC/ethylene production: an ethylene‐overproducing mutant (epinastic, epi), a root‐specific ACC ...

SUMMARY Grain weight is a key determinant of wheat yield, yet the developmental mechanisms that define this trait remain poorly understood. Here, we identify TaPGW1‐A1, a wheat‐specific proline‐rich gene that regulates grain weight. TaPGW1‐A1 is a recently evolved gene found only in wheat.
