Rapidly rising population and climate changes are two critical issues that require immediate action to achieve sustainable development goals. The is posing increased demand for food, thereby pushing an acceleration in agricultural production. Furthermore, anthropogenic activities have resulted environmental pollution such as water soil degradation well alterations the composition concentration of gases. These affecting not only biodiversity loss but also physio-biochemical processes crop plants, resulting a stress-induced decline yield. To overcome problems ensure supply food material, consistent efforts being made develop strategies techniques increase yield enhance tolerance toward climate-induced stress. Plant breeding evolved after domestication initially remained dependent on phenotype-based selection improvement. But it has grown through cytological biochemical methods, newer contemporary methods based DNA-marker-based help agronomically useful traits. now supported by high-end molecular biology tools like PCR, high-throughput genotyping phenotyping, data from morpho-physiology, statistical tools, bioinformatics, machine learning.

Reviewing the essential roles of remote phenotyping, GWAS and explainable AI in practical marker-assisted selection for drought-tolerant winter wheat breeding

Frontiers in Plant Science, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 15

Marker-assisted selection (MAS) plays a crucial role in crop breeding improving the speed and precision of conventional programmes by quickly reliably identifying selecting plants with desired traits. However, efficacy MAS depends on several prerequisites, precise phenotyping being key aspect any plant programme. Recent advancements high-throughput remote phenotyping, facilitated unmanned aerial vehicles coupled to machine learning, offer non-destructive efficient alternative traditional, time-consuming, labour-intensive methods. Furthermore, relies knowledge marker-trait associations, commonly obtained through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), understand complex traits such as drought tolerance, including yield components phenology. GWAS has limitations that artificial intelligence (AI) been shown partially overcome. Additionally, AI its explainable variants, which ensure transparency interpretability, are increasingly used recognised problem-solving tools throughout process. Given these rapid technological advancements, this review provides an overview state-of-the-art methods processes underlying each MAS, from genotyping analyses integration along entire workflow. In context, we specifically address challenges importance winter wheat for greater tolerance stable yields, regional droughts during critical developmental stages pose threat production. Finally, explore transition scientific progress practical implementation discuss ways bridge gap between cutting-edge developments breeders, expediting MAS-based tolerance.

A k-mer-based pangenome approach for cataloging seed-storage-protein genes in wheat to facilitate genotype-to-phenotype prediction and improvement of end-use quality

Molecular Plant, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 17(7), С. 1038 - 1053

Опубликована: Май 24, 2024

Wheat is a staple food for more than 35% of the world's population, with wheat flour used to make hundreds baked goods. Superior end-use quality major breeding target; however, improving it especially time-consuming and expensive. Furthermore, genes encoding seed-storage proteins (SSPs) form multi-gene families are repetitive, gaps commonplace in several genome assemblies. To overcome these barriers efficiently identify superior SSP alleles, we developed "PanSK" (Pan-SSP k-mer) genotype-to-phenotype prediction based on an SSP-based pangenome resource. PanSK uses 29-mer sequences that represent each gene at pangenomic level reveal untapped diversity across landraces modern cultivars. Genome-wide association studies k-mers identified 23 associated novel targets improvement. We evaluated effect rye secalin found removal ω-secalins from 1BL/1RS translocation lines enhanced quality. Finally, using machine-learning-based inspired by PanSK, predicted phenotypes high accuracy genotypes alone. This study provides effective approach design genes, enabling varieties processing capabilities improved

Enhancing wheat quality through color sorting: a novel approach for classifying kernels based on vitreousness

Frontiers in Plant Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 16

Опубликована: Апрель 17, 2025

Wheat is a major food crop used in producing bread, noodles, and cookies. Kernel vitreousness, closely related to protein content, key determining wheat's processing purpose. Traditionally, vitreousness visually assessed, but studies on classifying vitreous starchy kernels improve quality are limited. This study expands the use of commercial color sorter classify kernel by G value, distinguishing from kernels. The system improved content bread-making kernels, while reducing variability across 23 samples collected over four years. An industrial field test confirmed its applicability at scale. Genetic environmental factors were also examined, revealing that varietal differences flowering time not significant contributors variations vitreousness. findings suggest sorting reliable tool for enhancing wheat until more environmentally stable cultivars developed, providing economic benefits through consistent product quality.
