Making fish oils in plants: from alpha to omega

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the biosynthetic pathway for the synthesis of omega‐3 long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. The sequential transgene‐encoded activities required to convert endogenous fatty acids to the longer chain polyunsaturated forms of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid are shown in red.

Artificial polyploidy as a tool for improving growth and stress resilience in tree species

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Woody trees are invaluable to ecosystems and economies, providing essential resources such as timber, fuel, food, and medicine. Trees also play a critical role in carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation, and soil stabilization, making their ...

Potential unlocked: an atlas of cloned wheat genes for genome engineering and breeding

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Strategies for introducing genome edits into a wheat breeding program and their effects on cultivar longevity. Summary Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) production is increasingly threatened by biotic and abiotic stresses. Developing varieties with improved stress tolerance and desirable end‐use qualities is crucial for meeting growing global demand ...

Polyploid induction of Luculia pinceana Hook. by aseptic germination combined with chemical agents

European Journal of Horticultural Science
Summary To obtain polyploid Luculia pinceana Hook., chemical mutagenesis, tissue culturing and rapid propagation technology were used, and the resulting germplasm may be bred to produce new varieties. The seeds of L.

Harnessing Bulk‐Segregant Mapping to Identify Trait‐Associated Genes in the Allopolyploid Model Plant Nicotiana benthamiana

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forward genetics has been instrumental in identifying genes underlying desirable traits, yet its application to polyploid plants, many of which are key agricultural crops, remains challenging due to their genomic complexity. Therefore, we developed BenthMap, a bulk segregant analysis platform for high‐throughput trait mapping and gene ...

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 ...
