AI Article Synopsis
- - This study explored using iodine-containing fertilizers to enhance the iodine content in rye plants grown for cow fodder, focusing on the best application method, form, and dosage.
- - Findings revealed that iodine application, especially via soil using potassium iodide (KI), effectively increased iodine levels in rye biomass, particularly in neutral soil conditions, even at low doses (2.5 kg/ha).
- - Additionally, iodine fertilization improved rye's biological quality by elevating sugar, chlorophyll, and to some extent, protein and antioxidant levels.
Article Abstract
This study assessed the possibility of using iodine-containing fertilizers for agronomic biofortification of rye biomass used as fodder for cows, and establish the best application method and form and the optimal dose of iodine (I) under field conditions. The impact of iodine fertilization on grain iodine content was not studied. Results showed that agronomic biofortification of rye plants with iodine, influenced by its dose, form, and method of application was highly effective in increasing I shoot contents. Plant I-enrichment via foliar and soil application significantly affected I concentration in plant biomass even at a low dose (2.5 kg ha). Soil I application as KI appeared optimal for rye plants used as fodder for cows, especially cropped under the soil with a neutral reaction. Iodine application improved the biological quality of rye plants by increasing concentrations of sugar, chlorophylls, and at a low rate, protein and total antioxidant capacity.

Background: Snow mold caused by different psychrophilic phytopathogenic fungi is a devastating disease of winter cereals. The variability of the snow mold pathocomplex (the quantitative composition of snow mold fungi) has not been evaluated across different crops or different agrocenoses, and no microbial taxa have been predicted at the whole-microbiome level as potential effective snow mold control agents. Our study aimed to assess the variability of the snow mold pathocomplex in different winter cereal crops (rye, wheat, and triticale) in different agrocenoses following the peak disease progression and to arrange a hierarchical list of microbial taxa predicted to be the main candidates to prevent or, conversely, stimulate the development of snow mold pathogens.

Background: Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a major disease affecting cereal crops including wheat, barley, rye, oats and maize. Its predominant causal agent is the ascomycete fungus Fusarium graminearum, which infects the spikes and thereby reduces grain yield and quality. The frequency and severity of FHB epidemics has increased in recent years, threatening global food security.

Chromosomal rearrangements (CRs) often cause phenotypic variations. Although several major rearrangements have been identified in Triticeae, a comprehensive study of the order, timing, and breakpoints of CRs has not been conducted. Here, we reconstruct high-quality ancestral genomes for the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of the Triticeae, and the MRCA of the wheat lineage (Triticum and Aegilops).
