Wheat is a worldwide staple food crop, and take-all caused by var. can lead to a tremendous decrease in wheat yield and quality. In this study, strain YB-10 was isolated from wheat rhizospheric soil and identified as by morphology and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. YB-10 had extracellular protease and cellulase activities and strongly inhibited the mycelium growth of var. in dual cultures. Up to 87% efficacy of YB-10 in controlling the take-all of seedlings was observed in pot experiments when wheat seed was coated with the bacterium. YB-10 was also positive for indole acetic acid (IAA) and siderophore production, and coating wheat seed with the bacterium significantly promoted the growth of seedlings at 10 and 10 CFU/mL. Furthermore, treatment with YB-10 increased activities of the wheat defense-related enzymes POD, SOD, CAT, PAL and PPO in seedlings, indicating induced resistance against pathogens. Overall, YB-10 is a promising new seed-coating agent to both promote wheat growth and suppress take-all.

Fusarium graminearum is a primary cause of Fusarium head blight (FHB) on wheat and barley. The fungus produces trichothecene mycotoxins that render grain unsuitable for food, feed, or malt. Isolates of F.

Nitrate not only serves as the primary nitrogen source for terrestrial plants but also serves as a critical signal in regulating plant growth and development. Understanding how plant responses to nitrate availability is essential for improving nitrogen use efficiency in crops. Herein, we demonstrated that the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor TabHLH489 plays a crucial negative regulatory role in wheat nitrate signaling.

Wheat domestication and subsequent genetic improvement have yielded cultivated species with larger seeds compared to wild ancestors. Increasing thousand kernel weight (TKW) remains a crucial goal in many wheat breeding programs. To identify genomic regions influencing TKW across diverse genetic populations, we performed a comprehensive meta-analysis of quantitative trait loci (MQTL), integrating 993 initial QTL from 120 independent mapping studies over recent decades.

In our previous study, three genes highly expressed in the roots of wheat were screened. To explore the effects of adverse stresses on the wheat root phenotype and the expression of , and , we measured the phenotypic parameters of the JM22 root system at the seedling stage after treatment with different concentrations of NaCl and PEG6000. Additionally, the relative expression levels of TaPSK3, TaPSK9, and TaPSK10 were analyzed via RT-qPCR within 72 h of treatment with 150 mM NaCl and 30% PEG6000.

Introduction: UV-B can be used as an additional technique for nutrient accumulation in blue-grained wheat, which has special nutritional properties due to its blue starch layer. The concentration of flavonoids in blue-grained wheat under UV-B irradiation is extremely important for further investigation and exploitation of the nutritional properties of blue-grained wheat.
Methods: This investigation focuses on the expression of flavonoids and associated genes in blue-grained wheat using transcriptomic and metabolomic analyzes.
