Revisiting the Molecular Roadmap for Sugar Crops: Genome Reading, Trait Writing and Variety Redesigning

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sugar crops, including but not limited to sugarcane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum and stevia, are major sources of sugar production in the world. However, conventional breeding approaches, limited by long breeding cycles, low efficiency and restricted capacity to improve complex traits in sugar crops, are increasingly insufficient to address the ...

The Dual‐Function of CtrNAC019‐CtrNPF2.1 Module in Salt Tolerance and Nitrogen Use Efficiency Via Enhancing Vacuolar Chloride Sequestration and Nitrate Efflux in Citrus trifoliata

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salt stress and nitrogen utilisation efficiency (NUE) represent critical constraints affecting worldwide crop productivity. While nitrate transporter proteins (NPFs) have been implicated in saline chloride (Cl−) ion transport, the mechanistic linkage between chloride stress and NUE remains poorly understood.

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Tuning Xylan Polymerisation Enhanced Fibre Digestibility Without Biomass Loss in Sheepgrass (Leymus chinensis). [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Leymus chinensis (sheepgrass), a dominant perennial grass of the Eurasian Steppe, is a crucial source of carbohydrates and energy for ruminants. However, the lignocellulose recalcitrance severely limits its digestibility. Here, we targeted xylan, a major hemicellulose interacting with cellulose and lignin in cell wall. To improve digestibility,

A Meta‐Analysis Reveals That the Protective Role of Silicon in Grasses Against Fungal Pathogens Depends on Infection Mechanism

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pathogen infection drives plant community structure and constrains global agricultural productivity. Silicon (Si) improves resistance to abiotic and herbivory stress, particularly in grasses, but relatively little attention has addressed Si‐mediated resistance to pathogens, nor has it tested how this varies according to the type of plant and ...

Ecological niches and biogeography of nitrogen‐fixing plants in Europe

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Despite sharing N fixation as a common trait, European legume and actinorhizal plant lineages occupy strikingly divergent ecological niches shaped by their evolutionary histories and physiological adaptations. Advanced symbiont control allows IRLC legumes to expand into northern, mesic regions, while non‐IRLC legumes are more common in Mediterranean ...

Do Markets Shape Management? Experimental Evidence for the Effects of Competition on Contract Management

Public Administration Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A central aim of contracting is to introduce competition into public service delivery. Public organizations are facing calls to generate more competition for their contracts, yet there is conflicting evidence about the effects of competition in practice. This research aims to explain some of those mixed findings by investigating the effects of

Characteristaion of the initial generations of recombinant inbred lines in perennial ryegrass (lolium perenne L.) using molecular markers and cytogenetics

, 2009
Doctoral ThesisIn this study three early generations of a recombinant inbred line (RIL) breeding programme have been characterised by cytogenetic methods, metabolite profiling and a biomass quantitative trait loci (QTL) study. In situ hybridization was

Afforestation priority for multiple objectives at national scale: Italy as a case study

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Afforestation is increasingly recognized as a key strategy to address climate change and ecological degradation, offering multiple ecosystem services. However, strategic planning is needed to ensure that afforestation actions are ecologically effective and economically efficient by targeting areas where ecosystem service provision
