LEAFY and WAPO1 jointly regulate spikelet number per spike and floret development in wheat

This study identifies LEAFY and WAPO1 as regulators of spikelet number per spike and floret development in wheat through genetic and molecular interactions.

Wheat bZIPC1 interacts with FT2 and contributes to the regulation of spikelet number per spike

This study identifies bZIPC1 as a wheat transcription factor interacting with FT2, affecting spikelet and grain number per spike, and discovers a favorable natural allele for breeding.

GIGANTEA accelerates wheat heading time through gene interactions converging on FLOWERING LOCUS T1

This study shows that GIGANTEA accelerates wheat heading time by interacting with genes in the flowering pathway, with effects dependent on photoperiod and vernalization.

Wheat plant height locus RHT25 encodes a PLATZ transcription factor that interacts with DELLA (RHT1)

This paper identifies and characterizes the gene PLATZ-A1 underlying the GA-sensitive dwarfing locus RHT25 in wheat, showing it interacts with RHT1 and can modulate plant height.

EARLY FLOWERING 3 interactions with PHYTOCHROME B and PHOTOPERIOD1 are critical for the photoperiodic regulation of wheat heading time

This study shows ELF3 regulates the light activation of PPD1 in wheat, affecting heading time through interactions with PHYB and PHYC.

PHYTOCHROME C regulation of PHOTOPERIOD1 is mediated by EARLY FLOWERING 3 in Brachypodium distachyon

This study shows that PHYTOCHROME C activates PHOTOPERIOD1 via EARLY FLOWERING 3 in Brachypodium distachyon, revealing ELF3 as a repressor of PPD1 in the photoperiod flowering pathway.

The combination of morphogenic regulators BABY BOOM and GRF-GIF improves maize transformation efficiency

The paper introduces a new maize transformation system using BABY BOOM and GRF-GIF factors that significantly improves transformation efficiency.

Dosage differences in 12-OXOPHYTODIENOATE REDUCTASE genes modulate wheat primary root growth

This study identifies OPRIII genes in wheat that modulate root architecture and grain yield under water stress through jasmonic acid signaling.

Transcriptional signatures of wheat inflorescence development

The paper characterizes gene regulatory networks in wheat inflorescence development using transcriptomic data, identifying key transcription factors and regulatory hubs involved in spikelet formation.

WAPO-A1 is the causal gene of the 7AL QTL for spikelet number per spike in wheat

This study identifies WAPO-A1 as the causal gene for a QTL affecting spikelet number per spike in wheat and shows that the H2 haplotype significantly increases grain yield.

Interactions between SQUAMOSA and SVP MADS-box proteins regulate meristem transitions during wheat spike development

This study investigates the genetic and physical interactions between SQUAMOSA and SVP MADS-box proteins in wheat spike development, showing their roles in regulating meristem transitions and floral development.

A chimera including a GROWTH-REGULATING FACTOR (GRF) and its cofactor GRF-INTERACTING FACTOR (GIF) increases transgenic plant regeneration efficiency

The paper shows that a chimeric GRF4-GIF1 protein enhances transgenic plant regeneration efficiency in wheat, triticale, rice, and citrus, enabling marker-free selection and CRISPR-Cas9-based genome editing.

Epistatic interactions between PHOTOPERIOD-1, CONSTANS 1 and CONSTANS 2 modulate the photoperiodic response in wheat

The paper shows that PPD1 has a stronger effect on wheat heading time than CO1 and CO2, and that these genes can function independently in photoperiodic responses.

Effect of phyB and phyC loss-of-function mutations on the wheat transcriptome under short and long day photoperiods

This study examines how phyB and phyC mutations affect wheat transcriptomes under different photoperiods, finding that mutants flower earlier in short days than long days.

A wheat/rye polymorphism affects seminal root length and is associated with drought and waterlogging tolerance
