High-quality genome information is essential for efficiently deciphering and improving crop traits. Here we report a highly contiguous hexaploid assembly the key wheat breeding parent Zhou8425B, an elite 1BL/1RS translocation line with durable adult plant resistance (APR) against rust diseases. By using HiFi Hi-C sequencing reads, 14.75 Gb assembly, contig N50 scaffold values reaching 70.94 735.11 Mb, respectively, was developed. Comparison 16 previously sequenced common cultivars revealed unique chromosomal structural features in Zhou8425B. Notably, 1RS Zhou8425B apparently longer carried more genes encoding AP2/ERF-ERF B3 transcription factors relative to its counterpart several varieties rye lines. Aided by new APR locus (i.e., YrZH3B) yellow (YR) disease finely mapped 1 - 2 Mb interval on chromosome 3BS. Analysis 212 derivative showed that pyramiding of YrZH3B two other loci (YrZH22 YrZH84) significantly decreased YR severity enhanced grain yield, triple combination (YrZH3B/YrZH22/YrZH84) having highest effects. Our data demonstrate high value studying agronomically important genes.

A key concern in agriculture is how to feed the expanding population and safeguard environment from ill effects of climate change. To a growing global population, food production security are significant problems, as output may need double by 2050. Thus, more innovative effective approaches for increasing agricultural productivity (hence, production) required meet rising demand food. The world’s most widely cultivated grains include corn, wheat, rice, which serve foundation basic foods. This review focuses on some up-to-date that boost barley, oat yields with insight into molecular technology genetics raise resource-efficient use these important grains. Although red light management genetic manipulation show maximal grain yield enhancement, other covered strategies including bacterial-nutrient management, solar brightening, facing abiotic stress through systems, fertilizer harmful gas emissions reduction, photosynthesis tolerance, disease resistance, varietal improvement also enhance increase plant resistance environmental circumstances. study discusses potential challenges addressed possible future perspectives.

Studying the mechanisms underlying genotype-phenotype association is crucial in genetics. Gene expression studies have deepened our understanding of genotype → phenotype mechanisms. However, traditional quantitative trait loci (eQTL) methods often overlook critical role gene co-expression networks translating into phenotype. This gap highlights need for more powerful statistical to analyze network mechanism. Here, we develop a network-based method, called spectral analysis (snQTL), map affecting networks. Our approach tests between genotypes and joint differential via tensor-based statistics, thereby overcoming ubiquitous multiple testing challenges existing methods. We demonstrate effectiveness snQTL three-spined stickleback ( Gasterosteus aculeatus ) data. Compared conventional methods, method uncovers chromosomal regions networks, including one strong candidate that would been missed by eQTL analyses. framework suggests limitation current approaches offers tool functional discoveries.
