Its rapid development, high adaptability, and ability to cause significant yield losses threaten global food security. Although conventional breeding strategies play a role, they are limited by the evolutionary dynamics of the pathogen. Therefore, genomic and molecular approaches have been employed to improve resistance breeding techniques. This review summarizes relevant research findings on the pathogenicity of Pst and the genetic basis of resistance to stripe rust, categorized as all-stage resistance (ASR) and adult plant resistance (APR). More than 300 QTLs and 86 yellow rust (Yr) resistance genes have been identified through marker-assisted selection (MAS), quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, and genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Meta-QTL analyses have advanced to the point where fine-tuning candidate gene regions across different backgrounds is possible, facilitating marker-assisted breeding in closed systems. In addition, genomic selection (GS) enables the combined use of major and minor resistance loci when selecting for multiple traits, allowing rapid gene pyramiding to improve durability. Recent developments in CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing and pan-genomics offer the opportunity to induce a broad spectrum of durable resistance in elite wheat lines. Collectively, these integrative genomic approaches hold promise for sustainable strategies to combat the persistent threat of stripe rust and protect wheat production worldwide.","PeriodicalId":9841,"journal":{"name":"Cereal Research Communications","volume":"54 1","pages":"39-59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s42976-025-00750-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147915038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The high quality and stability of grain traits are important factors that ensure the high, stable yields of CM104 in different production areas. In this study, six grain traits of CM104 sampled from 19 environments in five provinces of China during 2018–2022 were evaluated. The traits comprised thousand-kernel weight, grain length, grain width, grain length–width ratio, grain circumference, and grain surface area. Fifteen quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with the grain traits were identified based on a recombinant inbred lines (F9–10) population derived from the cross between CM104 and the landrace Baimaomai (BMM), nine and six QTLs derived from CM104 and BMM, respectively. Three mainly pleiotropic QTLs derived from CM104, namely QTL10 (grain circumference, grain surface area), QTL11 (grain length, grain circumference), and QTL12 (grain length, grain circumference), were expressed significantly and stably in multiple environments, and explained 3.34–5.06%, 5.32–6.50%, and 6.00–12.13% of the phenotypic variation, respectively. The pyramiding of multiple genes is hypothesized to have contributed to the stability of the CM104 grain traits in different environments. The results provide a basis for future improvement of yield and its stability in wheat.","PeriodicalId":9841,"journal":{"name":"Cereal Research Communications","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142254863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a useful tool in agricultural research since it helps researchers improve plant selection procedures and optimize crop production. The review clarifies the importance of CF in understanding energy transfer within the photosynthetic apparatus and related processes, highlighting its usefulness in evaluating the effects of abiotic stresses on photosynthetic performance. A highlight of this study is the critical investigation of CF imaging as a non-destructive phenotyping method. This technique not only quantifies photosynthetic tolerance mechanisms to various stimuli but also forecasts chloroplast activity and responses under diverse growth conditions, be they optimal or unfavorable. Focusing particularly on maize, this review evaluates the sensitivity of the photosynthetic apparatus to a spectrum of abiotic stressors. It offers invaluable insights into the nuanced responses of maize to these stressors, providing essential knowledge pertinent to climate change and the pursuit of sustainable farming practices. Moreover, it highlights the critical role of CF in assessing maize varieties under various stresses, viz., drought, heat, cold, nutrient deficiencies, disease resistance, and susceptibility. Comparative analysis of different maize varieties and the evaluation of hybrid performance through CF are also considerably covered. By delving into techniques, applications, and practical considerations, this review contributes significantly to the scholarly discourse on CF analysis in contemporary agriculture, offering a comprehensive understanding of its techniques and pragmatic implications.","PeriodicalId":9841,"journal":{"name":"Cereal Research Communications","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142201479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different potassium supply levels were achieved by the initial build-up application of 0-240-480-960-1440 kg K2O ha−1 in autumn 1989. Adequate nitrogen and phosphorus supplies were provided by yearly NP fertilization. The year studied was favourable for maize growth and development. The maize hybrid Pioneer SC 3732 (FAO 450) was sown at plant densities of 24-48-72-96 thousand plants ha−1. The plant density had a more pronounced effect on grain yield than the different K supplies. Stalk yields showed trends similar to those for grain yields, but plant density had the opposite effect on the leaf weight (g 20 leaves−1) in the flowering stage. K fertilization increased the K content to the greatest extent in the vegetative parts (leaf and stalk), while increasing plant density had a reverse effect. The K-Ca-Mg antagonism was also the most pronounced in the vegetative parts, i.e. maize leaves in the flowering stage. According to the results obtained in the field trial, it seems that a century ago, in our grandparents’ time, food contained more minerals than nowadays, due to the fact that plant density decreases grain mineral composition more than mineral fertilization can increase it.","PeriodicalId":9841,"journal":{"name":"Cereal Research Communications","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142201443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, understanding the genetic basis of desirable alleles underpinning all minerals is important for wheat biofortification. A core collection of 111 wheat genotypes was evaluated for both years to measure macronutrient contents, including magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). Our study showed significant natural phenotypic variation for all of the studied macronutrients underlying both years with high heritability values. Using a genome-wide association scan (GWAS), 474 significant SNP markers were detected and associated with all the evaluated macronutrients for both years. Upon GWAS analysis, several reliable genomic regions with different potential candidate genes were found to play essential roles in the biofortified wheat grains. For instance, the gene TraesCS1A02G261200 was located on chromosome 1A and annotated as calcium ion binding proteins. These proteins play a crucial role in regulating mineral accumulation in wheat grains by influencing signal transduction, mineral transporter regulation, stress responses, cell wall stability, seed development, and enzymatic activity modulation. Notably, the accessions carrying T allele showed a higher accumulation of Mg, P, and Ca in wheat grains than the accessions carrying C allele, suggesting the positive selection of the accessions carrying T allele in the wheat panel. Therefore, exploring the mechanisms and regulation of these proteins could lead to techniques for enhancing the nutritional value of wheat grains, specifically mineral content.","PeriodicalId":9841,"journal":{"name":"Cereal Research Communications","volume":"400 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142201445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
