Harnessing genetic variation for grain quality from diverse wheat landraces

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Grain protein content is usually measured on bulk samples, hiding variation between individual grains. We used hyperspectral imaging to predict protein in c. 15 000 single grains from over 500 Watkins wheat landraces grown in two environments, resolving both mean protein content and grain‐to‐grain uniformity.

Excess endopolyploidy associated with cellular defects in neo‐autotetraploid Arabidopsis arenosa is in part corrected by a naturally evolved allele of CYCD3;2

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Ploidy level distributions and endoreduplication profiles in diploid and tetraploid Arabidopsis arenosa. Summary Endopolyploidy (within‐organism polyploidy) is an often‐beneficial aspect of development. But polyploids, which have a higher baseline genome content, have been reported to have less endoreduplication than diploid relatives. Why has remained

Genetic Dissection of Wheat Heterosis Identifies Candidate Genes in Biparental and Diverse Hybrid Populations

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how numerous heterotic quantitative trait loci (hQTL) shape heterosis and shifting from hQTL to candidate genes are central challenges. To address these challenges, we performed a systematic, genome‐wide mapping in a biparental population and a population of diverse hybrids.

Toward improved drought tolerance in bioenergy crops: QTL for carbon isotope composition and stomatal conductance in Populus

, 2013
Dedicated non-food bioenergy crops like poplar are needed as sustainable, low-input feedstocks for renewable energy in a future drier climate, where they can be grown on marginal soils. Such plants should have a low water, carbon, and chemical footprint.

Programmable Domestication: CRISPR, Pan‐Genomics and System Level Engineering for Next‐Generation Crops

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Conceptual overview of programmable de novo domestication from genetic diversity discovery to crop deployment. The framework connects diverse germplasm and genomic resources with three trajectory pathways. Adaptive Rescue, Agronomic Refinement and Novel Chassis defined by biological distance, engineering complexity and breeding objectives.

Comparative Genome‐Wide Association Studies of Metabolites and Grain‐Related Traits in Common Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The metabolome is highly diverse and the closest layer to phenotype; therefore, it is commonly regarded as a bridge between the genome and phenome in plants. Here, we performed large‐scale metabolome analysis using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) and 33 grain‐related traits in a diverse panel of natural accessions and

Converging GWAS and Genome Editing Decrypts MsCBF8‐MsGolS2 Regulatory Module for Drought Tolerance Without Yield Penalty in Medicago sativa

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought constitutes a major abiotic stress limiting alfalfa productivity. To elucidate the genetic basis of drought tolerance, a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) was conducted in alfalfa, which identified a CBF/DREB1 family transcription factor designated MsCBF8.

An Intronic Structural Variant in GhEBS1 Drives Cotton Fruit Size Divergence by Modulating Chromatin Accessibility and Gene Expression

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fruit size is not only a crucial fitness trait in plant evolution but also an important agronomic target in crop domestication and improvement, yet its regulatory mechanisms remain poorly characterized. Here, we identified an F‐box E3 ubiquitin ligase gene, GhEBS1 (ENLARGED BOLL SIZE 1), as a positive regulator of cotton boll size via map ...

A High‐Throughput Phenotyping Pipeline for Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) Panicles Using Image Analysis With Convolutional Neural Networks

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Quinoa is a grain crop with excellent nutritional properties that has attracted global attention for its potential contribution to future food security in a changing climate. Despite its long history of cultivation, quinoa has been improved little by modern breeding and is a niche crop outside its native cultivation area.
