Rice EMF3 Alleles Adjust Flower Opening Time to Enhance the Seed Setting Rate Under High Temperature Stress

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To safeguard global food security against rapid population growth and a warming world, the effective genetic improvement of cereals is imperative. Flower opening time (FOT) critically affects the seed setting rate. In this study, we identified a gene, EARLY‐MORNING FLOWERING 3 (EMF3), in which single‐nucleotide substitutions strongly modulate ...

Designed Alleles of ZmRap2.7 Decouple the Trade‐Off Between Early Flowering and Yield Penalty

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Flowering time genes often exhibit pleiotropic effects. In particular, early flowering is frequently associated with reduced grain yield due to a shorter growth period. This trade‐off poses a major challenge for developing early‐maturing and high‐yielding varieties, a key breeding objective in modern maize production. Here, we demonstrate that

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

open access: yesPlant 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 ...

No Cost of Resistance in Wheat Gene Stack Lines Containing 10 Stem Rust Resistance Transgenes

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic resistance is the most economical and sustainable approach for crop protection, however, it is regularly overcome by pathogen virulence evolution. Polygenic resistance has greater durability, but unlinked genes are laborious to maintain in breeding programs.

Spatially Resolved ABA Signalling Reveals Dual Role in Tomato Yield

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Abscisic acid (ABA) is a central hormonal regulator of plant adaptation to stress and developmental progression. However, its contribution to agronomic traits such as yield remains unclear due to the pleiotropic nature of ABA signalling. To disentangle distinct physiological functions of ABA, we employed a receptor‐specific gain‐of‐function ...
