M genes as a new frontier in plant protection

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Microbiome genes, or M genes, are host genes involved in shaping microbial communities. In plant protection, microbiome engineering via M genes shows great promise for the development of new production strategies in the face of increasing pathogen pressure.

Seedling and adult plant resistance to leaf rust in 46 Chinese bread wheat landraces and 39 wheat lines with known Lr genes

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2019
Wheat leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina (Pt), is an important foliar disease that has an important influence on wheat yield. The most economic, safe and effective way to control the disease is growing resistant cultivars.

Traceability of Sicilian Durum Wheat Landraces and Historical Varieties by High Molecular Weight Glutenins Footprint

Agronomy, 2021
Over the last new decade, there has been a strong interest in landraces and historical wheat varieties from farmers, manufacturers and consumers. They are agronomically and nutritionally interesting but the supply chain (from seed to end-product) is not ...

Fonio (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) in Nigeria: Regional cultivation patterns, landrace diversity, and farmer knowledge for conserving a climate‐resilient indigenous cereal

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Fonio (Digitaria exilis and Digitaria iburua) cereals are valued for their drought resilience, adaptability to poor soils, and cultural importance. In Nigeria, where both species are cultivated, fonio has declined due to labor‐intensive processing, lower yields, and changing livelihood choices. By documenting 21 landraces (15 D. exilis and 6 D. iburua),

Allelic Variation of Puroindolines Genes in Iranian Common Wheat Landraces

Agriculture, 2022
Wheat is one of the most widely grown crops in the world. One of the traits that defines wheat quality is grain hardness, which is determined by puroindolines (PINA and PINB) proteins encoded with Pina-D1 and Pinb-D1 genes. In this study, the diversity of Pina-D1 and Pinb-D1 was evaluated in a collection of 271 Iranian common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.

Enhance food plant diversity conservation and use through greater coordination between genebanks and botanic gardens

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Food plants are vital to human and planetary health, but their diversity is threatened, making food security, nutrition, and environmental goals more difficult to achieve. Food plant diversity conservation, research, and education can be enhanced through collaboration between sectors, including genebanks and botanic gardens, which possess complementary

Crop landrace conservation, status, challenges and motivations in Great Britain

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Recent agricultural intensification has led to the widespread replacement of genetically diverse crop landraces with high‐yielding but genetically uniform modern cultivars, reducing the adaptive resilience of farming systems. In the United Kingdom, where large‐scale agriculture dominates, landraces require urgent conservation action.

Yield Response and Leaf Gas Exchange of Sicilian Wheat Landraces

Agronomy
Wheat landraces are traditional varieties that have evolved over generations in response to local environments and farming practices and therefore exhibit remarkable adaptability to challenging climatic conditions and low-input farming systems. While the

Growing Triticum aestivum Landraces in Rotation with Lupinus albus and Fallow Reduces Soil Depletion and Minimises the Use of Chemical Fertilisers

Agriculture, 2022
In north-western Spain, the cultivation of wheat landraces represents the pillar of quality Galician bread; today, a minimum of 25% Galician flour is required to produce bread under the auspices of the Protected Geographical Indication “Pan Galego”.

TaANT11‐4A enhances grain yield by orchestrating photosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism through direct transcriptional activation

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
TaANT11‐4A is a positive regulator of wheat grain size and yield, directly activating TaEGY2, TaAAE1, and TaAAE2 to enhance photosynthesis and carbohydrate metabolism. The favorable Hap2 haplotype increases TaANT11‐4A expression and grain size, providing a genetic resource for breeding higher‐yielding wheat varieties.
