An Assessment of the Economic, Environmental and Social Impacts of NSW Agriculture's Wheat Breeding Program [PDF]

The Wagga wheat breeding program has been operating for over 100 years. In that time, it has released a flow of new wheat varieties for wheat growers in south-eastern Australia. Those varieties have led to increases in both yields and grain quality.

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Comparative Transcriptomics Reveals Important Genes Underlying Heat-Tolerant Sterility in Photo-Thermo-Sensitive Male Sterile Wheat in Seed Production Environments

Biomolecules
Maintaining stable male sterility is fundamental for ensuring the genetic purity and productivity of two-line hybrid wheat. However, unexpected heat events during the fertility-sensitive period can induce fertility restoration in photo-thermo-sensitive ...

A multi‐task deep learning–based approach to identify and assess dry root rot disease in chickpea

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Dry root rot (DRR), an emerging global disease exacerbated by drought, affects a wide range of crops. The disease symptoms are manually scored for large‐scale germplasm screening to identify disease‐resistant varieties and test transgenic lines and other varieties.

Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

Comprehensive Characterization of Acer truncatum Leaf Extract: Identification of Systemic Metabolites and Effects on Performance, Antioxidant Status, and Intestinal Microbiota in Laying Hens

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary A. truncatum leaf extract is absorbed and improves laying performance in aged hens by enhancing systemic antioxidant capacity and modulating the gut microbiota. ABSTRACT The demand for natural feed additives is considerably increasing in the antibiotic‐free feed era.

TRADITIONAL METHODS OF WHEAT BREEDING

, 2021
Wheat (Triticum spp. L.) is the oldest cereal crop and is cultivated in a wide variety of weather and soil conditions. It thrives in temperate climates with annual rainfall of 30–90 cm. Wheat is grown mostly in South Asia. There are several Triticum species, each with a unique genome and chromosome number.

Enhancing Meat Quality Through Dietary Fiber: Insights Into the Gut Microbiota‐Derived Short‐Chain Fatty Acids‐Muscle Axis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary fiber (DF) modulates meat quality through the gut‐muscle axis by reshaping gut microbiota, improving intestinal integrity, reducing inflammation, and regulating muscle metabolism. These mechanisms influence muscle fiber characteristics and post‐mortem biochemistry, thereby enhancing tenderness, juiciness, color, flavor, and nutritional value of
