Autoregulation of cluster root and nodule development by white lupin CCR1 receptor-like kinase

The paper identifies CCR1 receptor-kinase as a negative regulator of cluster root and nodule development in white lupin, revealing a novel systemic pathway called AoDev that coordinates root organ development independently of symbiotic interactions.

Adaptive diversification through structural variation in barley

This study presents a barley pangenome revealing structural variation linked to traits like disease resistance and plant architecture, highlighting its role in adaptive evolution.

High-resolution mapping of Ryd4Hb, a major resistance gene to Barley yellow dwarf virus from Hordeum bulbosum

This study fine-maps the Ryd4Hb resistance gene to a 66.5 kbp interval in barley and dissociates it from a sublethality factor, enabling targeted breeding for BYDV resistance.

High-resolution mapping of Rym14Hb, a wild relative resistance gene to barley yellow mosaic disease

This study maps the Rym14Hb resistance gene to a 2Mbp interval on chromosome 6HS in barley, providing markers for its introgression into elite germplasm.

Allele mining unlocks the identification of RYMV resistance genes and alleles in African cultivated rice.

The paper identifies RYMV resistance genes and alleles in African rice by analyzing genetic diversity in O. glaberrima accessions.

Genome wide association study pinpoints key agronomic QTLs in African rice Oryza glaberrima

This study identifies key agronomic QTLs in African rice Oryza glaberrima through a genome-wide association study, focusing on flowering time, panicle architecture, and virus resistance.

High resolution mapping of a Hordeum bulbosum-derived powdery mildew resistance locus in barley using distinct homologous introgression lines

This study fine-maps a powdery mildew resistance gene from Hordeum bulbosum in barley using introgression lines and high-throughput genotyping.
