Increasing crop yields is complicated by the polyploid nature of our major crops. A recent PLOS Biology study provides a transcriptomic view of the influence of the circadian clock on regulating agriculturally relevant traits in the polyploid bread wheat.

Light is a vital environmental cue that profoundly influences the development of plants. LED lighting offers significant advantages in controlled growth environments over fluorescent lighting. Under monochromatic blue LED light, wheat plants exhibited reduced stature, accelerated spike development, and a shortened flowering period with increased blue light intensity promoting an earlier heading date.

The key to wide geographical distribution of wheat is its high adaptability. One of the most commonly used methods for studying adaptation is the investigation of transition between the vegetative-generative phase and the subsequent intensive stem elongation process. These processes are largely determined by changes in ambient temperature, the diurnal and annual periodicity of day length, and the composition of light spectrum.

So far, the effects of within-population variation in these genes have not been well explored. Here, we present an experimental test of the effects of within-population variation at two circadian genes, and , on photoperiodic responses in the butterfly .

Plant height and heading date are important agronomic traits in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that affect final grain yield. In wheat, knowledge of pseudo-response regulator (PRR) genes on agronomic traits is limited.

Article Synopsis
- Fine-tuning heading time in bread wheat is crucial for maximizing grain yield, influenced by major genes affecting photoperiod sensitivity and vernalization requirements.
- Researchers developed an early heading mutant from a Japanese wheat cultivar, identifying a mutation in a clock component gene that causes the earlier heading.
- The study shows that adjusting the functional copy number of this gene can help refine heading dates for better crop performance.
