The roads most traveled: genetic convergence in plant repeated evolution

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Observation of a genotype–phenotype association in a focal lineage (magnifying lens) provides a starting point for predicting homolog reuse during repeated trait evolution. This review suggests that the likelihood that mutations in homologous genes contribute to similar phenotypes in other lineages depends on both mutational effect stability (MES) and ...

Jasmonate biosynthesis regulates key events in barley vegetative and reproductive development

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Generation and general phenotypes of hvaoc mutants. Summary Cereal grain is a global food staple. Filial tissues in grain, such as the embryo and endosperm, grow embedded in the maternal ovule and surrounding ovary wall. Maternal tissues provide nutrition and protection but are progressively reduced and degraded as filial tissues expand, driving grain ...

Whole‐genome duplication promotes phenotypic and genetic adaptation to elevation

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Fitness of diploids (2x) and tetraploids (4x) of Biscutella laevigata from low (circles) and high (triangles) elevation transplanted across elevation at 585, 1236 and 1967 m above sea level. Summary Whole‐genome duplication (WGD) is often considered as either an adaptive dead‐end or a facilitator of rapid adaptation under changing environments.

Coordination of drought‐adaptive root growth plasticity through auxin homeostasis by the ZmSPL12–ZmYUC5 module in maize

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Proposed model of ZmSPL12‐mediated drought resistance through auxin regulation. Summary Climate change‐induced drought increasingly threatens global maize production. Drought‐adaptive root plasticity in maize depends on auxin signaling, yet how auxin homeostasis is dynamically tuned in response to water deficit remains unclear.

Structural Variations Contribute to Subspeciation and Yield Heterosis in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Yield heterosis has been extensively exploited in hybrid breeding, with intersubspecific hybrids often exhibiting the most pronounced effects. However, developing elite hybrids remains a laborious and time‐consuming process. The genetic basis of heterosis has been debated for over a century, hindered largely by the lack of high‐quality genomes.

Integrated Metabolomics and Selection Signal Analysis Provide Insights Into the Selection for Flavonol Biosynthesis Associated With Lettuce Quality Improvement

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lettuce is a critical leafy vegetable consumed worldwide and is a substantial dietary source of health‐promoting compounds. Exploring changes in metabolism during lettuce domestication under artificial selection conditions is important to facilitate further breeding and cultivation for quality improvement.

HvPHO1 Controls a Glucose 1‐Phosphate–SnRK1 Signalling Module That Coordinates Starch Accumulation in Barley Endosperm

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Developing barley grains must balance the use of imported sucrose between soluble sugars and storage starch, but how this balance is controlled remains unclear. Here we show that loss of the plastidial α‐glucan phosphorylase HvPHO1 causes starch and soluble sugars to accumulate concurrently in barley grains.

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
