Article Synopsis
  • Cotton is a crucial global fiber crop, but its yield and quality vary significantly due to genetic differences and environmental influences.
  • Modern breeding practices face challenges related to a limited genetic pool, making it harder to achieve future yield improvements.
  • Researchers created high-quality reference genomes for three cotton cultivars and updated a genetic standard, revealing unexpected genetic diversity that can inform future breeding for better fiber quality and sustainability.

Article Synopsis
  • Sugarcane is a crucial crop globally, threatened by the disease red rot caused by a fungus, which can drastically reduce yields.
  • Researchers created a genetic linkage map using a popular sugarcane variety and identified a key QTL that accounts for 26% of resistance to red rot.
  • The study also found that a specific plant defense gene is linked to this resistance, providing insights for breeding more resilient sugarcane varieties.

Only a few transcription factors (TFs) regulating which cells of the ovule epidermis differentiate into lint fibres have been identified in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). In this study, the effect on lint yield and fibre quality of over-expressing three TFs in cotton, GhHD-1, GhMYB25 and GhMYB25Like, and their double and triple combinations, were evaluated in field experiments over two seasons.
