Climate-Resilient Cereal Breeding with Graph Pangenomes, Envirotyping, and Reaction-Norm Genomic Prediction

The utility of graph pangenomes to increase the amount of genetic variation available for cereal breeding and their incremental predictive value in the context of environmental or population transfer remain to be determined. We evaluated published graph-derived structural variants (SVs), environmental descriptors, and reaction-norm prediction in foxtail millet (Setaria italica). The main panicle grain weight of 680 accessions was observed in eight dated environments, with 5,283 observations obta

Engineering C4 Photosynthesis for Heat- and Water-Limited Yield Stability: Multi-Omics, Dynamic Light, and Field Validation

To engineer C4 photosynthesis for stable crop yield will need separating out of these two aspects: leaf-level carbon retention and whole-season productivity. Two public datasets were reanalysed in this study: (1) 113 physiological observations of six maize and seven sorghum plants observed in July 2019 and (2) 12 irrigation–nitrogen treatment means from a field experiment conducted in Gazipur, Bangladesh, and using maize during 2018–2019. For each plant, log assimilation was regressed against lo
