Article Abstract
The environment where plants grow, such as acidic soils, interferes with the nutrient concentration and physiological quality of seeds. This hypothesis was tested using wheat seeds as a model crop, grown in a tropical soil with and without lime application for twelve years. Here we show that lime provides remarkable enhancements in soil chemistry and seed composition, without altering the seed's germination and vigor. Also, it favors the production of seeds with additional molecular mechanisms that extend their longevity. Our results indicate that the application of lime mitigates acidity in tropical soils and ensures the production of seeds with enhanced chemical composition and longer life span.

Gene expression of developing seeds drives essential processes such as nutrient storage, stress tolerance and germination. However, the spatial organisation of gene expression within the complex structure of the seed remains largely unexplored. Here we report the use of the STOmics spatial transcriptomics platform to visualise spatial expression patterns in the wheat (Triticum aestivum) seed at the critical period of grain filling in mid-seed development.

Background: As wheat is a globally important staple crop, the molecular regulatory network underlying heterosis in wheat remains incompletely understood. The flag leaf is the primary source of photoassimilates during grain filling and plays a crucial role in yield formation. However, the genetic mechanisms linking flag leaf development to heterosis are still unclear.

The context of the peer review was that required by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 844/2012, as amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 2018/1659. The conclusions were reached on the basis of the evaluation of the representative uses of prothioconazole as a fungicide on barley, wheat, oats, spelt, rye and triticale field crops and seeds.

Physiologically, salinity causes osmotic stress due to high solute concentration in soil and disturbs the metabolic and photosynthetic activity of the cells by increasing the toxicity of Na in the cytoplasm. Plant adaptation to salt stress is characterized by cellular ion homeostasis and vacuolar sequestration of toxic ions from cytosol mediated by H-pyrophosphatase (). The gene was cloned under the control of the promoter for yeast transformation and the promoter for tobacco transformation.
