As new tools like apomixis become more widely available and private companies start investing more in Indian seeds, it is as important to think about how our system will adapt to these changes as it is to invest in fundamental…
Czech researchers used multi-trait genomic prediction combining visual scores and fungal DNA measurements to select about 20 wheat breeding lines with improved predicted resistance to both leaf and stem rust. Article Title: Multi-trait genomic selection for combined leaf and stem rust…
Wheat stripe rust poses a major threat to global food security. Discovery of disease resistance genes from wild relatives enables multigene stacking that could enhance durability. Here we use map-based cloning and long-read sequencing to isolate two... Uncover the latest…
To find candidate regulators, the team used DNA pull-down combined with mass spectrometry, and this screen pointed to ZmHY5L as an upstream regulatory factor of the waxy gene. The researchers then verified the interaction with a series of standard molecular tests.
Plant breeding technology is transforming how breeders use genetic data, AI and predictive tools to make decisions. Gene-G's Dagan Mor explores where these advances are delivering real value, where risks remain and why human judgment is still essential to successful…

A combined GWAS and QTL mapping study in perennial ryegrass has identified genomic regions and candidate genes underlying resistance to stem rust, showing that family-based mapping detects rare variants that population-scale association studies miss. Stem rust, caused by the fungal…
A systematic review finds neem's DUS descriptor framework unvalidated across environments and developmental stages, and sets priorities for protecting six newly released elite varieties. Subject of Research: DUS characterization and variety protection in neem Article Title: Advancing DUS characterization of…
Published October 26, 2026 | 05:30 PM The department advised farmers in irrigated areas to use approved wheat varieties, maintain a seed rate of 40–45 kilograms per acre and treat seeds before sowing to improve germination and yields. sowing between November 1 and 20 and use certified…
An integrated alfalfa tissue-culture system produced faster regeneration and transformation, with a 2.8-fold increase in transgene-positive plants and complete regeneration in all 25 cultivars tested. A stage-integrated tissue-culture platform developed for elite alfalfa increased the frequency of transgene-positive plants 2.8-fold and…
