To understand the impacts of cold stress on cotton production, we summarized the frequency of cold injury in the main cotton-producing areas of Xinjiang, the damages caused by cold injury, and the mechanisms of cold tolerance in cotton. The collective data suggest that developing cold tolerance is becoming one of the most demanding goals for future cotton breeding. Applying genomic and population genetic methodologies to cotton cold stress can lead to innovations in low-temperature stress tolerance breeding.

To elucidate the effects of genotype and hormone on callus induction and differentiation of barley, we investigated the growth performance of callus proliferation and differentiation of green spot in three Chinese cultivars (ZU9, ZU10 and Hua30), one Australian malting barley (Franklin) and one Scotland Whisky barley (Golden Promise). The three Chinese barley showed shorter spikes but larger immature embryos after flowering for 15 d than the other two genotypes. Golden Promise had the largest callus proliferation and green spot differentiation than the other genotypes. Meanwhile, ZU10 showed a relatively similar appearance and high efficiency to Golden Promise, which highlights its capacity for genetic modification. Golden Promise maintained relatively higher expression of hormone-related genes at almost all stages of callus proliferation, including auxin and cytokinin related <em>HvPIN1</em>, <em>HvARF3</em>, <em>HvRR6</em> and <em>HvWOX11</em>, which may explain its higher efficiency in genetic transformation. Adjusting hormone concentration to 1 mg L<sup>−1</sup> 6-BA and 0.25 mg. L<sup>−1</sup> 2,4-D in transition medium significantly increased green spot differentiation for most genotypes. These findings may provide useful information for overcoming genotype dependency with optimal hormones at callus proliferation stages of barley.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100341,"journal":{"name":"Crop Design","volume":"2 2","pages":"Article 100043"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772899423000216/pdfft?md5=7cbd9833e3da82638dabf028f5f66928&pid=1-s2.0-S2772899423000216-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135112327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we identified the lincRNAs and mRNAs in three chickpea genotypes contrasting for heat stress response (two tolerant- ICC 1356, ICC 15614; one sensitive- ICC 4567) and investigated their role in heat stress. A total of 894 putative lincRNAs and 61,110 mRNAs were identified from leaf and root tissues at the vegetative and reproductive stages of the plant under control and heat stress conditions. Co-expression studies revealed the significant association of lincRNAs with mRNAs which are attributed to heat stress leaf samples at the reproductive stage. Further, mRNAs encoding heat shock transcription factors (HSFs), heat shock proteins (HSPs), starch, and sucrose metabolism pathway genes played an essential role in mitigating heat stress. Furthermore, three key lincRNAs underlying chickpea's heat-quantitative trait locus (QTL) region were identified. This study provided new insights into the regulation of heat stress tolerance in chickpea by identifying candidate lincRNAs and mRNAs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100341,"journal":{"name":"Crop Design","volume":"2 1","pages":"Article 100026"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49709745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The excessive use of agrochemicals, such as fertilizers and pesticides, leads to the deterioration of soil health as well. Sustainable land-use practices without perturbing the soil ecosystem are achievable only with a comprehensive mechanism. The current need for sustainable agriculture is fulfilled by harnessing the noble services of plant-microbial association. Microhabitats around plant roots represent the region of maximum microbial activity. Microbiomes play a functional role in affecting plant growth, soil fertility and biogeochemical cycles. Plant-microbe interactions are highly specific to the host controlled by root exudates, metabolites, environmental factors and symbiotic associations e.g. legume-rhizobia and plant-fungi association. Proper strategies for the use of microbial inoculants will certainly facilitate the various crop improvement programs. The present review, therefore, exemplifies the various studies on the potential of plant microbiomes for sustainable agricultural ecosystems coupled with assuring food security. The review also summarizes recent trends in plant microbiome diversity, the relationship between host plant and microbe, transgenic plants, designer plants and their role in mitigating soil stress. Nevertheless, the future of the global population and food production rely on the prospects of plant microbiome ingenuity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100341,"journal":{"name":"Crop Design","volume":"2 1","pages":"Article 100028"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49709579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
