Diseases caused by Fusarium pathogens inflict major yield and quality losses on many
economically important plant species worldwide, including cereals. Fusarium crown rot …

Production of pure lines is an important step in biological studies and breeding of many crop
plants. The major types of pure lines for biological studies and breeding include doubled …

Wheat is a widely grown food crop that suffers major yield losses due to attack by pests and
pathogens. A better understanding of biotic stress responses in wheat is thus of major …

The MADS-box genes encode transcription factors with key roles in plant growth and
development. A comprehensive analysis of the MADS-box gene family in bread wheat …

Due to soil changes, high density planting, and the use of straw-returning methods, wheat
common root rot (spot blotch), Fusarium crown rot (FCR), and sharp eyespot (sheath blight) …

Key message Genome-wide association study (GWAS) on 358 Chinese wheat germplasms
and validation in a biparental population identified a novel significant genomic region on …

Drought stress, especially at the grain-filling stage, is a major constraint for wheat
production. Drought tolerance is a complex trait controlled by a large array of genes and …

Key message A major locus for resistance to different Fusarium diseases was mapped to the
most distal end of Th. elongatum 7EL and pyramided with Th. ponticum beneficial genes …

Wheat NAC (TaNAC) transcription factors are important regulators of stress responses and
developmental processes. This study proposes a new TaNAC nomenclature and identified …

Key message A novel light intensity-dependent lesion mimic mutant with enhanced disease
resistance was physiologically, biochemically, and genetically characterized, and the …
