Introduction: The ongoing decline in staple crop acreage and the accelerating trend of "non-grain" cultivation pose structural risks to China's food security. Agricultural insurance, beyond its traditional role in risk mitigation, may serve as a structural policy tool to influence farmers' planting decisions and guide cropping structures toward staple grains. However, empirical evidence on this guiding function remains limited.

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.

High-resolution, accurate mapping of crops is critical to enhance food security, resource efficiency, and policy effectiveness in agriculture across Africa, where maize remains a crucial staple crop. However, mosaic landscapes, common cloud cover, and scarce ground information have hindered large-area and field-level maize monitoring. This study presents a novel continent-wide framework for mapping maize cultivation across Africa for the 2023-2024 growing season at 10-m resolution using multi-temporal and multi-sensor remote sensing data.

The genus includes some of the most economically and ecologically impactful fungal pathogens affecting global agriculture and human health. Over the past 15 years, rapid advances in molecular biology, genomics, and diagnostic technologies have reshaped our understanding of taxonomy, host-pathogen dynamics, mycotoxin biosynthesis, and disease management. This review synthesizes key developments in these areas, focusing on agriculturally important species complexes such as the species complex (FOSC), species complex (FGSC), and a discussion on emerging lineages such as .

Wheat is one of the most important staple crops worldwide. Wheat breeding mainly focused on improving agronomy and techno-functionality for bread or pasta production, but nutrient content is becoming more important to fight malnutrition. We therefore investigated 282 bread wheat cultivars from seven decades of wheat breeding in Central Europe on 63 different traits related to agronomy, quality and nutrients in multiple field environments.
