Cereals are important crops worldwide that help meet food demands and nutritional needs. In recent years, cereal production has been challenged globally by frequent droughts and hot spells. A plant's root is the most relevant organ for the plant adaptation to stress conditions, playing pivotal roles...

Summary Understanding the genetic and molecular function of nitrate sensing and acquisition across crop species will accelerate breeding of cultivars with improved nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). Here, we performed a genome‐wide scan using wheat and barley accessions characterized under low and high ...

Flag leaf serves as an essential source of assimilates during grain filling, thereby contributing to grain yield up to 48%. Thus, high-throughput phenotyping of flag leaves is crucial to determine their physiological and genetic basis of yield formation and drought adaptation. Here, we utilized 200 ...

Abstract Background Proline (Pro) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) play a critical role in plants during drought adaptation. Genetic mapping for drought-induced Pro and H 2 O 2 production under field conditions is very limited in crop plants since their phenotyping with large populations is labor-in...

Climate change causes extreme conditions like prolonged drought, which results in yield reductions due to its effects on nutrient balances such as nitrogen uptake and utilization by plants. Nitrogen (N) is a crucial nutrient element for plant growth and productivity. Understanding the mechanistic ba...

A beneficial root system is crucial for efficient nutrient uptake and stress tolerance. Therefore, evaluating the root system variation for breeding crop plants towards stress adaptation is critically important. Here, we phenotyped root architectural traits of naturally adapted populations from orga...

BACKGROUND: The frequency of droughts has dramatically increased over the last 50 years, causing yield declines in cereals, including wheat. Crop varieties with efficient root systems show great potential for plant adaptation to drought stress, however; genetic control of root systems in wheat under...

Root architectural traits play pivotal roles in plant adaptation to drought stress, and hence they are considered promising targets in breeding programs. Here, we phenotyped eight root architecture traits in response to well-watered and drought stress conditions in 200 spring barley (Hordeum vulgare...

Abstract Proline is an important metabolite that plays an adaptive role in plants under water‐deficit stress. Understanding the genetic basis of water‐deficit‐induced proline accumulation remains elusive in crop plants, especially in wheat. Here, we investigated proline accumulation under control an...

Root angle (RA) and anatomical attributes are pivotal for the acquisition and transport of water and nutrient during drought stress conditions. Here, we aimed to identify natural genetic variation and genomic loci associated with nodal RA and anatomical traits in response to drought stress. RA and a...

ABSTRACT Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) is a signaling molecule that plays a crucial role in plant growth and development against different abiotic stresses. Identifying genetic factors associated with H 2 O 2 regulation and homeostasis can provide valuable insights for improving stress tolerance. Her...

ABSTRACT Currently in wheat breeding, genome wide association studies (GWAS) have successfully revealed the genetic basis of complex traits such as nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and its biological processes. In the GWAS model, thresholding is common strategy to indicate deviation of expected range o...
