Abstract
Global climate change increases the likelihood of co-occurrence of hot and dry spells with increased intensity, frequency, and duration. Studying the impact of the two stresses provide a better understanding of tolerance mechanisms in wheat, and our study was focused on revealing plant stress responses to different severities of combined stress at two phenophases in old and modern wheat genotypes. During the stem elongation and anthesis stages, plants were exposed to four treatments: control, deficit irrigation, combined heat, and deficit irrigation at 31 °C (HD31) and 37 °C (HD37). The modern genotypes were less affected by deficit irrigation at stem elongation as they maintained higher photosynthesis, stomatal conductance, and leaf cooling than old genotypes. When the HD37 stress was imposed during anthesis, the modern genotypes exhibited superior performance compared to the old, which was due to their higher photosynthetic rates resulting from improved biochemical regulation and a higher chlorophyll content. The plant responses varied during two phenophases under the combined stress exposure. Genotypes subjected to HD37 stress during stem elongation, photosynthesis was mainly controlled by stomatal regulation, whereas at anthesis it was predominated by biochemical regulation. These findings contribute to a deeper comprehension of plant tolerance mechanisms in response to different intensities of co-occurring hot and dry weather conditions.

Abstract
With abundant available genomic data, genomic selection has become routine in many plant breeding programs. Multispectral data captured by UAVs showed potential for grain yield (GY) prediction in many plant species using machine learning; however, the possibilities of utilizing this data to augment genomic prediction models still need to be explored. We collected high-throughput phenotyping (HTP) multispectral data in a genotyped multi-environment large-scale field trial using two cost-effective cameras to fill this gap. We tested back to back the prediction ability of GY prediction models, including genomic (G matrix), multispectral-derived (M matrix), and environmental (E matrix) relationships using best linear unbiased predictor (BLUP) methodology in single and multi-environment scenarios. We discovered that M allows for GY prediction comparable to the G matrix and that models using both G and M matrices show superior accuracies and errors compared with G or M alone, both in single and multi-environment scenarios. We showed that the M matrix is not entirely environment-specific, and the genotypic relationships become more robust with more data capture sessions over the season. We discovered that the optimal time for data capture occurs during grain filling and that camera bands with the highest heritability are important for GY prediction using the M matrix. We showcased that GY prediction can be performed using only an RGB camera, and even a single data capture session can yield valuable data for GY prediction. This study contributes to a better understanding of multispectral data and its relationships. It provides a flexible framework for improving GS protocols without significant investments or software customization.

Abstract
The efficacy of slow-release formulations of tribenuron-methyl (TBM) embedded in the matrix of degradable poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) blended with birch wood flour [polymer/wood flour/herbicide 50/30/20 wt.%] was compared with the efficacy of TBM as the active ingredient of the Mortira commercial formulation, which was applied as post-emergence spray to treat spring wheat cv. Novosibirskaya 15. The study was conducted in Central Siberia (in the environs of the city of Krasnoyarsk, Russia) from May to August 2020. The biological efficacy of the embedded TBM was 92.3%, which was considerably higher than the biological efficacy of the Mortira formulation used as the post-emergence spray (15.4%). The embedding of TBM into degradable blended matrix enabled long-duration functioning of this unstable herbicide in soil. The sensitivity of weed plants to TBM differed depending on the species. TBM was more effective against A. retroflexus and A. blitoides, which were killed at an earlier stage, than against C. album and G. aparine, whose percentage increased in the earlier stage and which were controlled by the herbicide less effectively and at later stages. On the plot treated with the embedded herbicide, the parameters of the wheat yield structure were the best, and the total yield was the highest: 3360 ± 40 kg/ha versus 3250 ± 50 kg/ha in the group of plants sprayed with the Mortira formulation. The grain produced in all groups was of high quality and was classified as Grade 1 food grain. The highest quality parameters (grain hectoliter mass, gluten, and protein contents) were obtained in the group of plants treated with the embedded herbicide. The study of the embedded TBM confirmed the high efficacy of the experimental formulation.

Abstract
The shoot apex is a region where new cells are produced and elongate. The developmental state of the wheat shoot apex under low temperature affects its cold resistance. In this study, the morphology of shoot apex before overwintering was characterized for 24 wheat line with different winter and spring characteristics. Our research showed that the shoot apex of autumn-sown spring wheat lines reached the temperature sensitive double-ridge stage before overwintering, whereas shoot apex of winter wheat lines are found in temperature-insensitive vegetative or elongation stages. In order to explore how gene expression is associated with shoot apex differentiation in winter and spring wheat, we used strand-specific RNA sequencing to profile the gene expression patterns at four time-points between 14 after germination and 45 days after germination in the winter wheat cultivar Dongnongdongmai No. 1 (DM1) and in the spring wheat cultivar China Spring (CS). We identified 11,848 differentially expressed genes between the two cultivars. Most up-regulated genes in CS were involved in energy metabolism and transport during the seedling stage, whereas up-regulated genes in DM1 were involved in protein and DNA synthesis. MADS-box genes affect plant growth and development. In this study, MADS-boxes with differential expression between CS and DM1 were screened and evolutionary tree analysis was conducted. During all sampling periods, CS highly expressed MADS-box genes that induce flowering promotion genes such as VRN1, VRT and AG, while lowly expressed MADS-box genes that induce flowering-inhibiting homologous genes such as SVP. TaVRN1 composition in DM1 and CS was vrn-A1, vrn-B1, and Vrn-D1b. Analysis of the sequence of TaVRN1 (TraesCS5A01G391700) from DM1 and CS revealed 5 SNP differences in the promoter regions and 3 SNP deletions in the intron regions. The expression levels of cold resistant genes in DM1 were significantly higher than those in CS at seedling stage (neither DM1 nor CS experienced cold in this study), including CBF, cold induced protein,acid desaturase and proline rich proteins. Additionally, the expression levels of auxin-related genes were significantly higher in CS than those in DM1 at 45 days after germination. Our study identified candidate genes associated with the process of differentiation of the shoot apex in winter and spring wheat at the seedling stage and also raised an internal stress tolerance model for winter wheat to endogenously anticipate the coming stressful conditions in winter.

Abstract
As a volatile organic compound existing in the atmosphere, methanol plays a key role in atmospheric chemistry due to its comparatively high abundance and long lifetime. Croplands are a significant source of biogenic methanol, but there is a lack of systematic assessment for the production and emission of methanol from crops in various phases. In this study, methanol emissions from spring wheat during the growing period were estimated using a developed emission model. The temporal and spatial variations of methanol emissions of spring wheat in a Canadian province were investigated. The averaged methanol emission of spring wheat is found to be 37.94 ± 7.5 μg·m-2·h-1, increasing from north to south and exhibiting phenological peak to valley characteristics. Moreover, cold crop districts are projected to be with higher increase in air temperature and consequent methanol emissions during 2020-2099. Furthermore, the seasonality of methanol emissions is found to be positively correlated to concentrations of CO, filterable particulate matter, and PM10 but negatively related to NO2 and O3. The uncertainty and sensitivity analysis results suggest that methanol emissions show a Gamma probabilistic distribution, and growth length, air temperature, solar radiation and leafage are the most important influencing variables. In most cases, methanol emissions increase with air temperature in the range of 3-35 °C while the excessive temperature may result in decreased methanol emissions because of inactivated enzyme activity or increased instant methanol emissions due to heat injury. Notably, induced emission might be the major source of biogenic methanol of mature leaves. The results of this study can be used to develop appropriate strategies for regional emission management of cropping systems.

Abstract
The vegetations and fields experiments were conducted in 2017-2018 at Rumokai Experimental Station of the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry. The influence of naturally occurring fulvic acids on the germination of spring wheat and barley and sugar beet seeds, development of plants and their yield and quality was investigated. The use of fulvic acids for seed dressing reliably increased the final germination percentage and decreased the mean germination time in spring wheat, spring barley, and sugar beet. It significantly reduced the number of spring wheat sprouts damaged by Fusarium sp. and the number of spring barley sprouts damaged by Fusarium sp. and Microdochium nivale. Fulvic acids increased the length of spring wheat and barley shoots and the air-dry weight of shoots and roots. The use of fulvic acids during plant vegetation reliably increased spring wheat grain yield and sugar beet roots yield, and improved yield quality. Combinations of fulvic acids with pesticides were also investigated. The use of fulvic acids in combination with pesticides used in sugar beet crops improved the action of those pesticides, so it was possible to reduce the rates used, thus reducing environmental pollution.

Abstract
The water footprint (WF) of crop production is a user-friendly means to analyze the consumption of water resource in agricultural production systems. This study assessed the inter-annual variability of grain yield, protein yield, and their corresponding WFs and determined the major factors influencing the WFs in Saskatchewan of Canada. Both spring wheat and barley showed a significant trend of increasing grain and protein yield from 1965 to 2014, at 194.1 and 179.2kgha-1decade-1 for grain yield (P<0.01) and 18.6 and 17.3kgha-1decade-1 for protein yield, respectively. Coincident with this was that both the grain yield-based and protein yield-based WFs of spring wheat and barley in Saskatchewan showed a downward trend. The grain yield-based WFs ranged from 1.08 to 1.80m3kg-1 for spring wheat, and from 0.90 to 1.38m3kg-1 for barley, whereas the protein yield-based WFs ranged from 7.93 to 10.44m3kg-1 for spring wheat and from 8.14 to 16.47m3kg-1 for barley. The grain yield-based WFs were affected by local precipitation followed by expenses on inputs from farms and the scientific and technological contributions. Under the same protein yield, the protein yield-based WFs tended to be lower in spring wheat than barley. The grain yield-based WFs of cereal crops have large potential for improvement in the future.

Abstract
Spring wheat plants were grown under two CO2 concentrations (380 and 550 μmol mol-1) and two temperature treatments (ambient and post-anthesis heat stress) to investigate the effects of elevated CO2 and heat stress on grain protein quality. Contents of protein components, glutenin macropolymers (GMP) and amino acids in grains decreased due to elevated CO2, while increased by high temperature. The combination of elevated CO2 and heat stress increased the contents of total protein and albumin, but decreased the contents of gliadin and glutenin, while the content and particle size distribution of GMP as well as the contents of amino acids were not significantly affected. Furthermore, we found that the content and particle size distribution of GMP were not only determined by the contents of proteins and high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits, but also related to the contents of amino acids containing disulfide bonds, which favor the formation of large insoluble polymers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Developing drought-tolerant crops critically depends on the efficient response of a genotype to the limited water availability, a trait known as phenological plasticity. Our understanding of the phenological plasticity remains limited, in particular, about its relationships with plant developmental program. Here, we examined the plastic response of spring wheat at tillering, booting, heading, and anthesis stages to constant or periodic drought stress. The response was assessed by morphological and physiological parameters including symptoms. RESULTS The dynamics of morphological symptoms were indicators of the plasticity identification of drought. We found that spring wheat exhibits higher phenological plasticity during tillering stage followed by the heading stage, while booting and anthesis stages are the most sensitive. Also, the adaptive response is thought to be influenced with the plant height genes. Furthermore, periodic stress caused more pronounced inhibition of yield than the constant stress, with limited resistance resolution under long period. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows the importance of considering the phenological plasticity in designing screens for drought tolerance in spring wheat and proposes tillering as the most informative stage for capturing genotypes with tolerance to limit water availability.

Abstract
Solid-stemmed spring wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum L.) are resistant to the stem sawfly (Cephus cinctus Nort.) and lodging. Anthers of 24 spring wheat cultivars with varying content of pith in the stem were used in the experiment. All were classified into three groups: solid, medium-solid and hollow stems. There was considerable influence of the cultivar on callus formation and green plant regeneration. The highest efficiency of green plant regeneration (24%) was observed for the solid-stemmed AC Abbey cultivar. There was no regeneration from the explants of four cultivars: CLTR 7027, Alentejano, Marquis and Bombona. Principal component analysis showed no differences between the cases under observation (callus induction and green plant regeneration) in their response to pre-treatment temperatures (4 and 8°C). The examination of the effects of various auxin types in the induction medium on callus formation and green plant regeneration revealed that the strongest stimulation of these processes was observed in the C17 medium with 2,4-D and dicamba. The efficiency of callus formation and green plant regeneration was greater in solid-stemmed cultivars than in hollow-stemmed cultivars.

Abstract
Heat stress, when combined with drought, is one of the major limitations to food production worldwide, especially in areas that use rainfed agriculture. As the world population continues to grow, and water resources for the crop production decline and temperature increases, so the development of heat- and drought-tolerant cultivars is an issue of global concern. In this context, four barley and two wheat genotypes were evaluated in south-eastern Russia to identify heat- and drought-tolerant genotypes for future breeding programmes by identifying suitable sowing times for specific genotypes. High temperature stress, when combined with drought during late sowing, decreased the days to visible awns, days to heading and days to ripe harvest, finally negatively affecting the growth and development of plants and resulting in a lower plant population m(-2), tillers plant(-1), plant height and dry matter production m(-2). On the other hand, low temperature in combination with early sowing increased the number of days to germination, reduced seedling stand establishment and tillering capacity, finally affecting the growth and development of the crops. Compared to overall performance and optimum sowing date, barley genotypes 'Zernograd.770' and 'Nutans', and wheat genotype 'Line4' performed best in both late (high temperature with drought) and early (low temperature) stress conditions.
