Fusarium graminearum head blight of wheat is a destructive disease of the world's wheat-growing areas. This work was performed to analyze the distribution and contamination of deoxynivalenol (DON) and its relationship with F. graminearum kernel invasion in Argentina durum wheat area during two consecutive harvests. A total of 147 samples (cultivars and lines) of durum wheat from 5 locations of the major cropping area (Southern Buenos Aires Province) were analyzed. Percentage of F. graminearum kernel infection was evaluated following the blotter test (ISTA method) and fusarotoxins were analyzed by thin layer chromatography. None of the varieties and lines were free of F. graminearum infection. In the first harvest fungal invasion was very low. From 40 samples, 55% showed DON contamination but only 4 samples (10%) were higher than 2 ppm. In the second harvest, a crop year conducive to scab development, the highest level of F. graminearum kernel invasion observed was 42% on a sample from the humid area (eastern Buenos Aires Province) DON was detected in 47 (78.2%) of 60 samples analyzed and 19 (31.6%) showed levels of DON higher than those established in the guidelines in Canada and USA for food and feedstuff. In both years all locations situated in the humid area showed levels ranging from 0 to > 8 ppm. Within the durum wheat area differences among locations were found. This analysis indicates the need for more information on the problem and distribution of Fusarium mycotoxins in durum wheat grown in Argentina.

To evaluate the effects of tillage measure on soil organic carbon (SOC) and influence degree of various factors on relative change rate of SOC at regional scale, we conducted a meta-analysis to investigate the impacts of tillage measures (CK, traditional deep tillage without straw return; NTS, no tillage with straw return; NT, no tillage without straw return; TS, traditional tillage with straw return; SS, subsoiling tillage) on SOC content and influence factors (climate conditions, soil types, cultivation types, and initial soil physicochemical properties) on relative change rate of SOC in dryland wheat fields on the Loess Plateau, based on literatures published during 2000-2023. Results indicated that NT, NTS, SS and TS performed varies positive effect on SOC content in 0-20 cm soil layer compared with CK. In addition, greater enhancement of SOC were obtained in conditions of loessal soil, mid-temperate zone, average annual temperature of ≤10 ℃ and average annual rainfall of ≤500 mm.

Dietary intake is a predominant pathway of human exposure to environmental Cadmium (Cd), but wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has not received enough concerns for its risk of Cd contamination. A field survey of Cd-contaminated rice-wheat rotation farmlands in China provided detailed comparison of Cd accumulation capacity by rice and wheat grains.

GBS read coverage analysis identified a Robertsonian chromosome from two Thinopyrum subgenomes in wheat, conferring leaf and stripe rust resistance, drought tolerance, and maintaining yield stability. Agropyron glael (GLAEL), a Thinopyrum intermedium × Th. ponticum hybrid, serves as a valuable genetic resource for wheat improvement.

Synthetic intergeneric amphydiploids and genome-substituted wheat forms are an important source for transferring agronomically valuable genes from wild species into the common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genome. They can be used both in academic research and for breeding purposes as an original material for developing wheat-alien addition and substitution lines followed by translocation induction with the aid of irradiation or nonhomologous chromosome pairing.

To comprehensively assess the changing pattern of organic fertilizer substitution with nitrogen fertilizer on the yield of major grains in China, with 102 literature as the research object, through Meta-analysis we quantitatively explored the impacts of soil physicochemical properties, climatic conditions, and different nitrogen fertilizer replacement rates and supplemental application amounts. The results showed that the replacement of nitrogen fertilizer by organic fertilizer could increase crop yields compared with those from the application of nitrogen fertilizer alone, and soil quick-acting potassium content, pH, and annual average temperature had the most significant effects on the yields of the three major grains. When the nitrogen fertilizer replacement rate and the amount of supplemental nitrogen fertilizer applied were 31.
