Summary Plant responses to abiotic environmental challenges are known have lasting effects on the plant beyond initial stress exposure. Some of these transgenerational, affecting next generation. The response elevated carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) levels has been well studied. However, investigations typically limited plants grown for a single generation in high CO environment while transgenerational studies rare. We aimed determine growth after exposure by investigating direct progeny when...

SUMMARY Water availability is a major determinant of crop production, and rising temperatures from climate change are leading to more extreme droughts. To combat the effects on yields, we need develop varieties that tolerant water‐limited conditions. We aimed determine how diverse types (winter/spring oilseed, tuberous, leafy) allopolyploid Brassica napus , species contains economically important rapeseed oilseed crop, respond prolonged water limitation. exposed plants an 80% reduction in...

Sorghum bicolor is a drought-resilient facultative short-day C4 grass that grown for grain, forage, and biomass. Adaptation of sorghum grain production in temperate regions resulted the selection mutations Maturity loci (Ma1 -Ma6) reduced photoperiod sensitivity earlier flowering long days. Prior studies identified genes associated with Ma1 (PRR37), Ma3 (PHYB), Ma5 (PHYC) Ma6 (GHD7) characterized their role time regulatory pathway. The current study focused on understanding function identity...

Sorghum bicolor is a drought-resilient C4 grass used for production of grain, forage, sugar, and biomass. genotypes capable accumulating high levels stem sucrose have solid stems that contain low aerenchyma. The D-locus on SBI06 modulates the extent aerenchyma formation in sorghum leaf midribs. A QTL aligned with this locus was identified fine-mapped populations derived from BTx623*IS320c, BTx623*R07007, BTx623*Standard broomcorn. Analysis coding polymorphisms showed accumulate encode...

Sweet sorghums were identified that accumulate up to ~9% of their total stem dry weight as starch. Starch accumulated preferentially in pith parenchyma close proximity vascular bundles. Stem starch slowly between floral initiation and anthesis more rapidly 43 days post-anthesis before declining parallel with tiller outgrowth. Genes involved metabolism through phylogenetic approaches RNA-seq analysis Della gene expression during the accumulation phase development. differentially expressed...

Abstract High‐throughput phenotyping (HTP) has emerged as one of the most exciting and rapidly evolving spaces within plant science. The successful application technologies will facilitate increases in agricultural productivity. research is interdisciplinary may involve biologists, engineers, mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists. Here we describe need for additional interest HTP offer a primer those looking to engage with community. This high‐level overview analysis methodologies,...

Maize ( Zea mays ), also known as corn, is an important crop that plays a crucial role in global agriculture. The economic uses of maize are numerous, including for food, feed, fiber, and fuel. It has had significant historical importance research well, with discoveries made regarding plant domestication, transposons, heterosis, genomics, epigenetics. Unfortunately, environmental stresses cause substantial yield loss to crops each year. Yield losses predicted increase future climate...

Abstract Sorghum [ bicolor (L.) Moench] is an important crop that highly drought tolerant but susceptible to low temperatures. Many studies have begun explore the genetic basis of variation in chilling sensitivity sorghum germplasm effort improve sorghum's tolerance. However, differences maps and updates reference genome made comparing challenging. Here, we review current state research on tolerance susceptibility during germination emergence, vegetative growth, reproduction harvest stages....

Maize ( Zea mays ) is one of the world's most important crops, providing food for humans and livestock serving as a bioenergy source. Climate change resulting abiotic stressors in field reduce crop yields, threatening security global economy. Water deficit (i.e., drought), heat, insufficient nutrients (e.g., nitrogen phosphorus) are major environmental that affect maize impact growth development at all stages plant life cycle. Understanding biological processes underlying these responses has...

Whole plant chlorophyll fluorescence imaging is a powerful tool for non-destructive analysis of photosynthesis. Analysis such images requires software that able to process and calculate photosynthetic parameters per pixel. PlantCV an open-source, Python-based library image tools science. Previous versions included analyze efficiency data, but recent developments the photosynthesis subpackage have expanded include more based on spectral indices. This paper highlights newest updates package...

Global warming poses a substantial threat to food security, necessitating the development of crops resilient adverse effects stress including, drought, heat, and their combined impact. To understand maize responses individual conditions drought heat at early vegetative stages, we did comprehensive evaluation phenotypic 47 diverse inbred lines. The plants were stressed for 13 days beginning 7 after planting, with 38/28°C day/night cycles, condition was achieved by reducing water pot volume...
