ABSTRACT Salinity stress can cause significant yield losses in crops because of its major impact on reproductive success. The complexity of salinity stress responses, particularly their tissue‐ and cell‐specific regulation, continues to challenge the translation of molecular insights into tangible crop yield improvements.

ABSTRACT Induction of apomixis, or clonal reproduction through seed, could economise commercial hybrid seed production and enable smallholder farmers to save and sow hybrid seed. Here, we demonstrate the synthetic induction of apomixis in two sorghum hybrids and show that the clonal hybrid seed can be maintained across multiple seed generations.

Developing an Efficient System for Hybrid Rice Seed Production Using Partial Male Sterility
ABSTRACT Efficient production of hybrid rice seeds requires male sterility systems to overcome the challenges of self‐pollination. In this study, we identified male gametic transfer defect (GTrD)5 and GTrD9 as essential genes for the process of male gamete transmission in rice.

Reducing the Sinapine Levels of Camelina sativa Seeds Through Targeted Genome Editing of REF1
ABSTRACT Sinapine (O‐sinapoyl choline) is the major phenolic metabolite typically found in the oil‐rich seeds of Brassicaceae such as Camelina sativa and Brassica napus. It imparts a bitter taste to the seeds as a defence mechanism against herbivores, but it also renders them less palatable to livestock.

The secreted redox sensor roGFP2‐Orp1 reveals oxidative dynamics in the plant apoplast
Using the secreted redox biosensor roGFP2‐Orp1, we reveal differences in extracellular (apoplastic) oxidative processes between and within species, depending on cell type and immune signalling. Abstract Specific generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is important for signalling and defence in many organisms. In plants, different types of ROS serve
