Article Abstract

Lodging reduces grain yield in cereal crops. The height, diameter and strength of stem are crucial for lodging resistance, grain yield, and photosynthate transport in barley. Understanding the genetic basis of stem benefits barley breeding. Here, we evaluated 13 stem related traits after 28 days of heading in a barley DH population in two consecutive years. Significant phenotypic correlations between lodging index (LI) and other stem traits were observed. Three mapping methods using the experimental data and the BLUP data, detected 27 stable and major QTLs, and 22 QTL clustered regions. Many QTLs were consistent with previously reported traits for grain filling rate, internodes, panicle and lodging resistance. Further, candidate genes were predicted for stable and major QTLs and were associated with plant development and adverse stress in the transition from vegetative stage to reproductive stage. This study provided potential genetic basis and new information for exploring barley stem morphology, and laid a foundation for map-based cloning and further fine mapping of these QTLs.

Weeds are one of the major constraints for wheat productivity, causing significant yield losses worldwide. While chemical control is the most used practice to overcome weed damage, its efficacy is challenged by increasing weed resistance to most used herbicides, which is an expanding phenomenon caused by herbicide overuse/misuse. Modern wheat varieties are less able to perceive the presence of weeds than old varieties and are therefore less competitive against them and require chemical control to ensure adequate yields.

Amylose content (AC) is a key determinant of wheat quality, and the TaWaxy gene determined amylose synthesis with a dose-dependent effect on AC. In this study, the TaWOX5 gene, which significantly enhances wheat transformation efficiency, was combined with CRISPR/SpCas9 system to generate TaWaxy mutants in a commercial winter wheat Jimai 22. Seven transgene-free mutant types were produced, compared to only three transgene-free mutants in the spring wheat variety Ningchun 4.

Historically, polyploid giant cancer cells (PGCCs) within tumors have been ignored as superfluous inflammatory refuse with no intrinsic clinical or biological relevance. However recently, multiple studies have described the existence PGCCs in solid tumor masses that appear to correlate with tumor progression, and can also appear in blood circulation as cancer associated macrophage like cells (CAMLs). In an effort to understand the clinical and biological role of CAMLs (i.
