Two advanced lines (BAd7-209 and BAd7-213) with identical high-molecular-weight glutenin subunit composition were obtained via wide hybridization between low-gluten cultivar chuannong16 (CN16) and wild emmer D97 (D97). BAd7-209 was better than BAd7-213, and both of them were much better than CN16 in a dough quality test. We found that BAd7-209 had more abundant and higher expression levels of low-molecular-weight glutenin subunit (LMW-GS) proteins than those of BAd7-213. Twenty-nine novel LMW-GS genes at - locus were isolated from BAd7-209, BAd7-213 and their parents. We found that all 29 LMW-GS genes possessed the same primary structure shared by other known LMW-GSs. Twenty-seven genes encode LMW-m-type subunits, and two encode LMW-i-type subunits. BAd7-209 had a higher number of LMW-GS genes than BAd7-213, CN16, and D97. Two wild emmer genes MG574329 and MG574330 were present in the two advanced lines. Most of the LMW-m-type genes showed minor nucleotide variations between wide hybrids and their parents that could be induced through the wide hybridization process. Our results demonstrated that the wild emmer LMW-GS alleles could be feasibly transferred and integrated into common wheat background via wide hybridization and the potential value of the wild emmer LMW-GS alleles in breeding programs designed to improve wheat flour quality.

Article Synopsis
- * A wild emmer introgression line, BAd7-209, showed greater drought resistance than the drought-resistant wheat variety Zhongmai 175, with transcriptome analysis revealing significant gene expression changes in response to drought.
- * The study identified TdNACB as a key transcription factor that enhances drought resistance in crops like rice by increasing proline content and boosting enzyme activity related to reactive oxygen species scavenging, providing potential candidate genes for improving wheat drought resistance.
Plant cultivation and diversity at the early neolithic settlement in Biskupice in Poland.

The emergence of the Linear Pottery Culture (LBK) during the Neolithic period within Polish territory 5400-4900 BC, introduced plant cultivation, yet the definitive list of cultivated species remains debated. This study examines plant assemblages (fruits, seeds, pollen, and spores) from the LBK settlement in Biskupice, southern Poland, aiming to identify cultivated and wild species used during the development of the first stable settlements in the Carpathian Foothills. Due to extensive sampling, Biskupice yielded over 11,000 macroscopic plant specimens, enabling detailed analysis of plant diversity, distribution, and implications for agrarian and dietary practices.

As important secondary metabolites in plants, anthocyanins not only contribute to colored plants organs, but also provide protections against various biotic and abiotic stresses. In this study, a MYB transcription factor gene TdRCA1 from wild emmer wheat regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis in wheat coleoptile was identified on the short arm of chromosome 7A in common wheat genetic background. The TdRCA1 overexpression lines showed colored callus, coleoptile, auricle and stem nodes, as well as up regulation of six anthocyanin-related structural genes.
