Harnessing landrace diversity empowers wheat breeding.

Harnessing genetic diversity in major staple crops through the development of new breeding capabilities is essential to ensure food security. Here we examined the genetic and phenotypic diversity of the A. E.

Innovations in functional genomics and molecular breeding of pea: exploring advances and opportunities.

The garden pea ( L.) is a significant cool-season legume, serving as crucial food sources, animal feed, and industrial raw materials. The advancement of functional genomics over the past two decades has provided substantial theoretical foundations and progress to pea breeding.

PsNRT2.3 interacts with PsNAR to promote high-affinity nitrate uptake in pea (Pisum sativum L.).

Nitrate, the primary form of nitrogen absorbed by plants, supplies essential compounds for plant growth and development. Peas are frequently used as rotation crops to improve and stabilize soil fertility. However, the determinants of nitrate uptake and transport in peas remain largely unclear, primarily due to the pea genome's complexity and size.

Identification and characterization of the AINV genes in five Gossypium species with potential functions of GhAINVs under abiotic stress.

Acid invertase (AINV) is a kind of sucrose hydrolase with an important role in plants. Currently, the AINV genes have not been systematically studied in cotton. In this study, a total of 92 AINV genes were identified in five cotton species.

GhN/AINV13 positively regulates cotton stress tolerance by interacting with the 14-3-3 protein.

Neutral/alkaline invertases (N/AINVs) are sucrose hydrolases with important roles in plants. In this study, 15, 15, 15, 29, and 30 N/AINVs were identified in the Gossypium species, G. raimondii, G.

GhTULP34, a member of tubby-like proteins, interacts with GhSKP1A to negatively regulate plant osmotic stress.

Tubby-like protein genes (TULPs), present in the form of large multigene families, play important roles in environmental stress. However, little is known regarding the TULP family genes in cotton. In this study, we systematically identified and analyzed the membership, characterization, and evolutionary relationship of TULPs in four species of cotton.
