The PIN2 ortholog in barley modifies root gravitropism and architecture without impacting the shoot

This study shows that knocking out PIN2 in barley alters root gravitropism and architecture without affecting shoot growth.

Stacking haplotypes from the Vavilov wheat collection to accelerate breeding for multiple disease resistance

This paper identifies haploblocks associated with multiple disease resistance in wheat using a diversity panel and demonstrates their potential to improve resistance through haplotype stacking.

Seminal root angle is associated with root system architecture in durum wheat

This study examines the relationship between seminal root angle and root system architecture in durum wheat, showing distinct RSA patterns in wide and narrow genotypes at later growth stages.

Investigating the genetic control of plant development under speed breeding conditions

This study identifies genetic loci controlling plant development under speed breeding conditions and finds that allelic variation at ELF3 influences flowering and maturity plasticity.

A new protocol for speed vernalisation of winter cereals

This paper introduces a new vernalisation protocol that significantly reduces generation time for winter cereals by combining extended photoperiod and low-temperature exposure with speed breeding conditions.
