Although near-isogenic lines (NILs) can standardize genetic backgrounds among individuals, it has never been applied in parthenogenetically reproduced animals. Here, through multiple rounds of backcrossing and spinosad screening, we generated spinosad resistant NILs in the western flower thrips, (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), with a haplo-diploid reproduction system. The resultant NIL-R strain maintained a resistance ratio over 30,000-fold, which was comparable to its parental resistant strain, Spin-R. More importantly, NIL-R shared 98.90% genetic similarity with its susceptible parental strain Ivf03. By developing this toolset, we are able to segregate individual resistance and facilitate the mechanistic study of insecticide resistances in phloem-feeding arthropods, a group of devastating pest species reproducing sexually as well as asexually.

Introduction: Heavy metal soil pollution is a global issue that can be efficiently tackled through the process of phytoremediation. The use of rapeseed in the phytoremediation of heavy metal-contaminated agricultural land shows great potential. Nevertheless, its ability to tolerate heavy metal stress at the molecular level remains unclear.

Barley traits that determine grain number are established between jointing and flowering. The timing of flowering is critical for adaptation and yield as it affects the fertility of both the main shoot and tiller spikes. The Photoperiod-H1 (PPD-H1) gene controls flowering time and impacts spike fertility and yield in barley; however, it is not known if these effects are truly pleiotropic or indirect.

Advancements in bioinformatic tools and breakthroughs in high throughput RNA sequencing have unveiled the potential role of non-coding RNAs in influencing the overall expression of disease-responsive genes. Owing to the increasing need to develop resilient crop varieties against environmental constraints, our study explores the functional relationship of various non-coding RNAs in wheat during leaf rust pathogenesis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) were retrieved from SAGE and RNA-Seq libraries, respectively, in the susceptible (HD2329) and resistant (HD2329 + Lr28) wheat Near-Isogenic Lines (NILs).

Article Synopsis
- Cold stress during the booting stage of rice severely impacts yields, especially in colder regions, prompting a study on the Ctb1 gene for developing cold-tolerant rice varieties.
- Researchers identified key genetic variations (InDels and SNPs) in the Ctb1 promoter, with a specific InDel at -1,302 bp significantly enhancing Ctb1 expression and cold tolerance.
- The introduction of this beneficial InDel into a cold-sensitive rice variety led to substantial improvements in cold survival, seed setting rates, and overall yield, highlighting its importance for breeding resilient rice.
