Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Breeding crops with robust disease resistance often compromises yield, a persistent challenge in agricultural improvement. We report that modifying cell wall architecture through a xylan‐specific glycosyltransferase successfully breaks this trade‐off in wheat.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The escalating frequency and intensity of recent droughts threaten global crop production and food security. Although drought priming is crucial for plant drought resilience, the mechanisms imparting drought stress memory remain poorly understood, especially in crops such as tomato. This study elucidates the mechanisms of drought stress memory

A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis
Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Heterosis has shaped modern plant breeding since Darwin's 19th century observations that outcrossing restores vigour lost through selfing. While 100 years old, its mechanistic basis and deployability remain actively debated. Classical models of dominance, overdominance and epistasis provided the foundation for hybrid breeding and converted ...

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a vital cereal crop in dry regions worldwide. However, in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), grain yields from currently grown varieties remain low (< 1 ton/ha) and exhibit variable nutrient composition. Therefore, the objective of this study was to undertake a genetic analysis of selected East African‐adapted ...

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract Short‐stature corn (Zea mays L.) hybrids were introduced to the market in 2023 to improve crop standability and reduce lodging risk under strong wind conditions. However, limited information is available regarding their agronomic performance relative to traditional hybrids, particularly with respect to plant height development, canopy ...

Hemp seed counting and morphometric analysis method comparison
The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract The USDA ARS Hemp Germplasm Laboratory recently acquired over 800 hemp accessions (Cannabis sativa L.). Variation in hemp seed size characteristics is needed to develop quantitative standards to support the transition of hemp grain into a commodity.

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Lodging in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) presents a significant challenge for plant breeders due to the trade‐off between lodging resistance and grain yield. Manually measuring lodging across thousands of plots is time‐consuming, expensive, and error‐prone, making selection for lodging resistance challenging in breeding programs ...

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 189, Issue 3, November 2026.Developing oat grains have tight regulation of β‐glucan production. The ratio of the β‐glucan trimer and tetramer constituent parts is not significantly different to the final grain from the late milk (LM) stage onwards (A), despite the total β‐glucan content of oat grains being significantly lower than the final grain until the soft dough (SD ...

Tracking Sodium Inside the Plant: Hydraulic Adjustments to Deal With Salinity
Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 6, November 2026.ABSTRACT Sorghum is a crop that has become more relevant in recent years due to its uses and properties (biofuel, gluten‐free flour) as well as its versatility to grow in unfavourable environmental conditions. Salinity is one of the main abiotic stresses affecting crop production and yield worldwide.
