A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis

open access: yesPlant 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 ...

Enhancing Predictive Ability of Agronomic and Quality Traits in Ethiopian Malting Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Using Spectral Variable Selection Methods

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phenomic selection (PS) offers a cost‐effective, breeder‐friendly approach for public breeding programmes with limited access to genotyping or restricted financial resources for laboratory infrastructure. Since PS relies on high‐throughput phenotyping data, which is often derived from near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) of harvested seeds ...

Effects of Antimitotic Agents, Temperature and Immersion Time on Chromosome Doubling Efficiency in Supersweet Corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharata)

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Doubled haploid technology accelerates the development of fully homozygous maize lines compared with conventional selfing. However, specific protocols for supersweet corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharata), particularly regarding immersion time in antimitotic solutions and temperature during chromosome doubling, remain poorly defined.

Polar Lipid and Fatty Acid Profiles of Oat Groats Substantially Influenced by Field Management: A Comparison of Cultivars, Sowing Times and Fertilizer Composition

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The polar lipids in oat grains are crucial due to their biological functions, nutritional quality, potential use in food flavour and processing, the protection they provide against biotic and abiotic stresses, and their ability to act as cellular signalling molecules.

Molecular Chaperone Networks in Plants: Maintaining Proteostasis and Enhancing Stress Resilience for Crop Improvement

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Molecular chaperones play a central role in the plant proteostasis machinery by aiding the folding of nascent proteins, preventing aggregation, and repairing or degrading damaged proteins. These functions are especially essential during abiotic and biotic stress, which can destabilise cellular proteins and disrupt metabolic homoeostasis.

A Wild Emmer Wheat B3 Transcription Factor Regulates Seed Growth and Nutrient Allocation

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed weight (SW) and nutrient allocation are key determinants of yield and grain quality in wheat, yet the regulatory basis of naturally occurring variation in these traits remains poorly resolved. Wild emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccoides), the progenitor of modern wheat, retains extensive eco‐geographically structured genetic diversity that was

Design Principles of Plant Thermotolerance: Integrating Photosynthesis, Reproduction, and Field Resilience in a Warming Climate

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food security is increasingly threatened by climate change, as rising temperatures compromise the yields of major staple crops, including wheat, rice, and maize. Enhancing plant thermotolerance has therefore become a critical priority for sustaining agricultural productivity.
