As climate change gradually threatens crop yields, developing a sustainable and productive agricultural system is decisive. A multifaceted approach is needed to tackle climate change‐associated threats, integrating conventional agronomic practices with innovative management and mitigation strategies, such as breeding, sequence‐based and ...

Diversity of cereal rye (Secale cereale) germplasm in the Southeast United States
Abstract Cereal rye (Secale cereale) is a grain, forage, and cover crop, with specific regional production practices. Maintaining regional varieties is challenged by rye reproductive biology, as wind pollination may dilute varietal distinction. Similarly, breeding new population varieties for regional needs lacks efficiency gains seen in other grains ...

Plant genetic transformation: achievements, current status and future prospects
Summary Regeneration represents a fundamental biological process wherein an organism's tissues or organs repair and replace themselves following damage or environmental stress. In plant systems, injured tree branches can regenerate adventitious buds and develop new crowns through propagation techniques like cuttings and canopy pruning, while transgenic

Summary The CRISPR/Cas9 system is a powerful tool for genomic editing with significant potential for gene function validation and molecular breeding in medicinal plants. Salvia miltiorrhiza, a model medicinal plant, was among the pioneers to utilize CRISPR/Cas9 technology, though achieving high‐efficiency homozygous knockout mutants has been ...

Copper‐Induced Transgenerational Plasticity in Plant Defence Boosts Aphid Fitness
ABSTRACT Transgenerational plasticity in plants is an increasingly recognized phenomenon, yet it is mostly unclear whether transgenerational plasticity is relevant to both the fitness of the plant and its interacting species. Using monoclonal strains of the giant duckweed (Spirodela polyrhiza) and its native herbivore, the waterlily aphid ...

The impacts of cucumber mosaic virus infection were assessed on fruit production, for cultivars Gorria and Yolo Wonder and three viral isolates, on quantitative and qualitative aspects. ABSTRACT Over the past decade, recurrent epidemics of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) have damaged Espelette pepper crops, a product from the French Basque Country with a ...
