The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.Abstract Seed dormancy is an adaptation that delays germination to prevent the start of this process during unsuitable conditions. It is crucial in wild species but its loss was selected during crop domestication to ensure a fast and uniform germination. Water uptake, or imbibition, is the first step of germination.

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.Abstract Ascochyta blight (AB) is one of the most devastating fungal diseases of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Conventional breeding has focused on exploiting and introgressing major genes (qualitative effect) to improve AB resistance in released varieties.

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.Abstract The increase in world population linked to climate change leads to the need to develop more productive and more adapted cultivars of food species. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) mapping is a useful tool although, interaction between genotype and the environment is still a challenge.

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.Abstract Stemphylium vesicarium (Wallr.) Simmons is a plant pathogenic fungus causing purple spot in both fern and spears of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.). Although the fern can be sprayed with fungicides to control the disease, pesticide applications during spear harvest are restricted.

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.Abstract Zinc deficiency is a critical global health issue, with declining grain zinc concentration (GrZnc) over time. To address this, it is essential to explore and utilize genetic resources from wild relatives to enhance GrZnc in cultivated bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). This study aimed to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) for GrZnc using

Genomic selection of maize test‐cross hybrids leveraged by marker sampling
The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.Abstract Maize (Zea mays L.) is a staple crop and the most cultivated cereal worldwide. The expansion of this crop was possible due to efforts in management and breeding. From the breeding standpoint, advances were achieved through field experimental design and analyses, establishing heterotic patterns, and releasing heterotic hybrids.

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.Abstract Cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.), once sidelined by decades of prohibition, has now gained recognition as a multifaceted and promising plant in both medical research and commercial applications following its recent legalization. This study leverages a genome‐wide association study (GWAS) on 174 drug‐type Cannabis accessions from the legal ...

RPAD locus controls prostrate growth habit in Oryza nivara
The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.Abstract The development of ideal plant architecture is crucial for optimizing grain yield in crop breeding. The transition from prostrate growth habit in wild rice to erect growth habit in cultivated rice is one of the important events during rice domestication.

Genetic analysis and molecular mapping of the purple leaf sheath in barley (Hordeum vulgare)
The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.Abstract Although anthocyanin is frequently found in various barley organs, the genetic basis of the pigmentation is still poorly understood. In this study, we examined the development of anthocyanin in GemCraft, a malting barley cultivar showing purple leaf sheath (PLS), and found that the pigmentation became visible on the leaf sheath at the early ...
