Abstract
Wheat proteins can trigger immunogenic reactions due to their resistance to digestion and immunostimulatory epitopes. Here, we investigated the peptidomic map of partially digested bread samples and the fingerprint of epitope diversity from 16 wheat genotypes grown in two environmental conditions. Flour protein content and composition were characterized; gastric and jejunal peptides were quantified using LC-MS/MS, and genotypes were classified into high or low bread protein digestibility. Differences in flour protein content and peptide composition distinguish high from low digestibility genotypes in both growing environments. No common peptide signature was found between high- and low-digestible genotypes; however, the celiac or allergen epitopes were noted not to be higher in low-digestible genotypes. Overall, this study established a peptidomic and epitope diversity map of digested wheat bread and provided new insights and correlations between weather conditions, genotypes, digestibility and wheat sensitivities such as celiac disease and wheat allergy.

Abstract
Rapid global industrialization and an increase in population have enhanced the risk of heavy metals accumulation in plant bodies to disrupt the morphological, biochemical, and physiological processes of plants. To cope with this situation, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) NPs were used first time to mitigate abiotic stresses caused in plant. In this study, rGO NPs were synthesized and reduced with Tecoma stans plant leave extract through modified Hummer's methods. The well prepared rGO NPs were characterized by ultra-violet visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Zeta potential, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). However, pot experiment was conducted with four different concentrations (15, 30, 60, 120 mg/L) of rGO NPs and three different concentrations (300, 500,700 mg/L) of lead (Pb) stress were applied. To observe the mitigative effects of rGO NPs, 30 mg/L of rGO NPs and 700 mg/L of Pb were used in combination. Changes in morphological and biochemical characteristics of wheat plants were observed for both Pb stress and rGO NPs treatments. Pb was found to inhibit the morphological and biochemical characteristics of plants. rGO NPs alone as well as in combination with Pb was found to increase the chlorophyll content of wheat plants. Under Pb stress conditions and rGO NPs treatments, antioxidant enzyme activities like ascorbate peroxidases (APX), superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) were observed. Current findings revealed that greenly reduced graphene oxide NPs can effectively promote growth in wheat plants under Pb stress by elevating chlorophyll content of leaves, reducing the Pb uptake, and suppressing ROS produced due to Pb toxicity.

Abstract
Drought priming is known to enhance plant low temperature tolerance, whereas polystyrene nanoplastic contamination exerts detrimental effects on plant growth. This study investigates the less-explored influence of nanoplastic contamination on cold stress tolerance in drought-primed plants. We compared the photosynthetic carbon assimilation, carbohydrate metabolism, reactive oxygen species metabolism, and grain yield between the non-primed and drought-primed wheat grown in both nanoplastic-contaminated and healthy soils. Our results reveal that the beneficial effects of drought priming on photosynthetic carbon assimilation and the efficiency of the "water-water" cycle were compromised in the presence of nanoplastics (nPS). Additionally, nPS exposure disturbed carbohydrate metabolism, which impeded source-to-sink transport of sugar and resulted in reduced grain yield in drought-primed plants under low temperature conditions. These findings unveil the suppression of nPS on drought-primed low-temperature tolerance (DPLT) in wheat plants, suggesting an intricate interplay between the induction of stress tolerance and responses to nPS contamination. The study raises awareness about a potential challenge for future crop production.

Abstract
One of the key problems of biology is how plants adapt to unfavorable conditions, such as low temperatures. A special focus is placed on finding ways to increase tolerance in important agricultural crops like wheat. Au-based nanoparticles (Au-NPs) have been employed extensively in this area in recent years. Au-NPs can be produced fast and easily using low-cost chemical reagents. When employed in microdoses, Au-NPs are often non-toxic to plants, animals, and people. In addition, Au-NPs mainly have favorable impacts on plants. In this study, we investigated the effect of Au-NP seed nanopriming (diameter 15.3 nm, Au concentration 5-50 µg mL-1) on cold tolerance, as well as some physiological, biochemical and molecular parameters, of cold-sustainable wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotype Zlata. The treatment with Au-NPs improved tolerance to low temperatures in control conditions and after cold hardening. Au-NPs treatment boosted the intensity of growth processes, the quantity of photosynthetic pigments, sucrose in leaves, and the expressions of encoded RuBisCo and Wcor15 genes. The potential mechanisms of Au-NPs' influence on the cold tolerance of wheat varieties were considered.

Abstract
Leaf senescence is an essential physiological process related to grain yield potential and nutritional quality. Green leaf duration (GLD) after anthesis directly reflects the leaf senescence process and exhibits large genotypic differences in common wheat; however, the underlying gene regulatory mechanism is still lacking. Here, we identified TaNAM-A1 as the causal gene of the major loci qGLD-6A for GLD during grain filling by map-based cloning. Transgenic assays and TILLING mutant analyses demonstrated that TaNAM-A1 played a critical role in regulating leaf senescence, and also affected spike length and grain size. Furthermore, the functional divergences among the three haplotypes of TaNAM-A1 were systematically evaluated. Wheat varieties with TaNAM-A1d (containing two mutations in the coding DNA sequence of TaNAM-A1) exhibited a longer GLD and superior yield-related traits compared to those with the wild type TaNAM-A1a. All three haplotypes were functional in activating the expression of genes involved in macromolecule degradation and mineral nutrient remobilization, with TaNAM-A1a showing the strongest activity and TaNAM-A1d the weakest. TaNAM-A1 also modulated the expression of the senescence-related transcription factors TaNAC-S-7A and TaNAC016-3A. TaNAC016-3A enhanced the transcriptional activation ability of TaNAM-A1a by protein-protein interaction, thereby promoting the senescence process. Our study offers new insights into the fine-tuning of the leaf functional period and grain yield formation for wheat breeding under various geographical climatic conditions.

Abstract
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an essential food crop in terms of consumption as well as production. Aflatoxin exposure has a widespread public health impact in economically developing nations, so there is a need to establish preventive techniques for these high-risk populations. Pre-harvest and post-harvest practices are the two strategies used to control aflatoxin contamination, which include the use of genetically modified crops that show resistance against Aspergillus infection, the use of pesticides, changing the planting and harvesting time of crops, and physical, chemical, and biological methods. In this research, aflatoxin detection and quantification were performed in different wheat varieties to determine quantitative differences in comparison to the European Commission's limit of 4 ppb aflatoxins in wheat. TLC for qualitative and the ELISA kit method for quantitative analysis of aflatoxins were used. Out of 56 samples, 35 were found contaminated with aflatoxins, while the remaining 21 samples did not show any presence of aflatoxins. Out of the 35 contaminated samples, 20 samples showed aflatoxin contamination within the permissible limit, while the remaining 15 samples showed aflatoxin concentration beyond the permissible level, ranging from 0.49 to 20.56 ppb. After quantification, the nine highly contaminated wheat samples were detoxified using physical, chemical, and biological methods. The efficiency of these methods was assessed, and they showed a significant reduction in aflatoxins of 53-72%, 79-88%, and 80-88%, respectively. In conclusion, the difference in aflatoxin concentration in different wheat varieties could be due to genetic variations. Furthermore, biological treatment could be the method of choice for detoxification of aflatoxins in wheat as it greatly reduced the aflatoxin concentration with no harmful effect on the quality of the grains.

Abstract
Trait-based approaches are increasingly used to understand crop yield improvement, although they have not been widely applied to anatomical traits. Little is known about the relationships between root and leaf anatomy and yield in wheat. We selected 20 genotypes that have been widely planted in Luoyang, in the major wheat-producing area of China, to explore these relationships. A field study was performed to measure the yields and yield components of the genotypes. Root and leaf samples were collected at anthesis to measure the anatomical traits relevant to carbon allocation and water transport. Yield was negatively correlated with cross-sectional root cortex area, indicating that reduced root cortical tissue and therefore reduced carbon investment have contributed to yield improvement in this region. Yield was positively correlated with root xylem area, suggesting that a higher water transport capacity has also contributed to increased yields in this study. The area of the leaf veins did not significantly correlate with yield, showing that the high-yield genotypes did not have larger veins, but they may have had a conservative water use strategy, with tight regulation of water loss from the leaves. This study demonstrates that breeding for higher yields in this region has changed wheat's anatomical traits, reducing the roots' cortical tissue and increasing the roots' xylem investment.

Abstract
Introduction Heat stress at terminal stage of wheat is critical and leads to huge yield losses worldwide. microRNAs (miRNAs) play significant regulatory roles in gene expression associated with abiotic and biotic stress at the post-transcriptional level. Methods In the present study, we carried out a comparative analysis of miRNAs and their targets in flag leaves as well as developing seeds of heat tolerant (RAJ3765) and heat susceptible (HUW510) wheat genotypes under heat stress and normal conditions using small RNA and degradome sequencing. Results and discussion A total of 84 conserved miRNAs belonging to 35 miRNA families and 93 novel miRNAs were identified in the 8 libraries. Tae-miR9672a-3p, tae-miR9774, tae-miR9669-5p, and tae-miR5048-5p showed the highest expression under heat stress. Tae-miR9775, tae-miR9662b-3p, tae-miR1120a, tae-miR5084, tae-miR1122a, tae-miR5085, tae-miR1118, tae-miR1130a, tae-miR9678-3p, tae-miR7757-5p, tae-miR9668-5p, tae-miR5050, tae-miR9652-5p, and tae-miR9679-5p were expressed only in the tolerant genotype, indicating their role in heat tolerance. Comparison between heat-treated and control groups revealed that 146 known and 57 novel miRNAs were differentially expressed in the various tissues. Eight degradome libraries sequence identified 457 targets of the differentially expressed miRNAs. Functional analysis of the targets indicated their involvement in photosynthesis, spliceosome, biosynthesis of nucleotide sugars and protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, arginine and proline metabolism and endocytosis. Conclusion This study increases the number of identified and novel miRNAs along with their roles involved in heat stress response in contrasting genotypes at two developing stages of wheat.

Abstract
Lantian 26, a leading elite winter wheat cultivar in Gansu Province since its release in 2010, exhibits high resistance or immunization to stripe rust in adult-plant stage under a high disease pressure in Longnan (southeastern Gansu). Identifying the resistance genes in Lantian 26 could provide a basis for enhanced durability and high levels of resistance in wheat cultivars. Here, a segregating population was developed from a cross between a highly susceptible wheat cv. Mingxian 169 and the highly stripe rust-resistant cv. Lantian 26. The F2 and F2:3 progenies of the cross were inoculated with multiple prevalent virulent races of stripe rust for adult plant-stage resistance evaluation in two different environments. Exon sequence alignment analysis revealed that a stripe rust resistance gene on the 718.4-721.2 Mb region of chromosome 7BL, tentatively named as YrLT26, and a co-segregation STS marker GY17 was developed and validated using the F2:3 population and 103 wheat cultivars. The other two resistance genes, Yr9 and Yr30, were also identified in Lantian 26 using molecular markers. Therefore, the key to high and durable resistance to stripe rust at adult stage is the combination of Yr9, Yr30 and YrLT26 genes in Lantian 26. This could be a considerable strategy for improving the wheat cultivars with effective and durable resistance in the high-pressure region for stripe rust.

Abstract
The study of cold-tolerance mechanisms of wheat as a leading cereal crop is very relevant to science. Primary metabolites play an important role in the formation of increased cold tolerance. The aim of this research is to define changes in the content of primary metabolites (soluble proteins and sugars), growth, and photosynthetic apparatus of freezing-tolerant and cold-sustainable wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes under optimal conditions and after prolonged (7 days) exposure to low temperature (4 °C). In order to gain a deeper comprehension of the mechanisms behind wheat genotypes' adaptation to cold, we determined the expression levels of photosynthetic genes (RbcS, RbcL) and genes encoding cold-regulated proteins (Wcor726, CBF14). The results indicated different cold-adaptation strategies of freezing-tolerant and cold-sustainable wheat genotypes, with soluble proteins and sugars playing a significant role in this process. In plants of freezing-tolerant genotypes, the strategy of adaptation to low temperature was aimed at increasing the content of soluble proteins and modification of carbohydrate metabolism. The accumulation of sugars was not observed in wheat of cold-sustainable genotypes during chilling, but a high content of soluble proteins was maintained both under optimal conditions and after cold exposure. The adaptation strategies of wheat genotypes differing in cold tolerance were related to the expression of photosynthetic genes and genes encoding cold-regulated proteins. The data improve our knowledge of physiological and biochemical mechanisms of wheat cold adaptation.

Abstract
Wheat powdery mildew, caused by the biotrophic fungus Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is one of the most devastating diseases affecting wheat throughout the world. Breeding and growing resistant wheat cultivars is one of the most economic and effective methods to control the disease, and as such, identifying and mapping the new and effective resistance genes is critical. Baidatou, a Chinese wheat landrace, shows excellent field resistance to powdery mildew. To identify the resistance gene(s) in Baidatou, 170 F7:8 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from the cross Mingxian 169/Baidatou were evaluated for powdery mildew response at the adult-plant stage in the experimental fields in Yangling (YL) of Shaanxi Province and Tianshui (TS) in Gansu Province in 2019, 2020, and 2021. The relative area under disease progress curve (rAUDPC) of Mingxian 169/Baidatou F7:8 RILs indicated that the resistance of Baidatou to powdery mildew was controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Based on bulk segregation analysis combined with the 660K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array and genotyping by target sequencing (16K SNP) of the entire RIL population, two QTLs, QPmbdt.nwafu-2AS and QPmbdt.nwafu-3AS, were identified, and these accounted for up to 44.5% of the phenotypic variation. One of the QTLs was located on the 3.32 cM genetic interval on wheat chromosome 2AS between the kompetitive allele-specific PCR markers AX-111012288 and AX_174233809, and another was located on the 9.6 cM genetic interval on chromosome 3AS between the SNP markers 3A_684044820 and 3A_686681822. These markers could be useful for successful breeding of powdery mildew resistance in wheat.

Abstract
High-throughput genotyping arrays have provided a cost-effective, reliable and interoperable system for genotyping hexaploid wheat and its relatives. Existing, highly cited arrays including our 35K Wheat Breeder's array and the Illumina 90K array were designed based on a limited amount of varietal sequence diversity and with imperfect knowledge of SNP positions. Recent progress in wheat sequencing has given us access to a vast pool of SNP diversity, whilst technological improvements have allowed us to fit significantly more probes onto a 384-well format Axiom array than previously possible. Here we describe a novel Axiom genotyping array, the 'Triticum aestivum Next Generation' array (TaNG), largely derived from whole genome skim sequencing of 204 elite wheat lines and 111 wheat landraces taken from the Watkins 'Core Collection'. We used a novel haplotype optimization approach to select SNPs with the highest combined varietal discrimination and a design iteration step to test and replace SNPs which failed to convert to reliable markers. The final design with 43 372 SNPs contains a combination of haplotype-optimized novel SNPs and legacy cross-platform markers. We show that this design has an improved distribution of SNPs compared to previous arrays and can be used to generate genetic maps with a significantly higher number of distinct bins than our previous array. We also demonstrate the improved performance of TaNGv1.1 for Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and its utility for Copy Number Variation (CNV) analysis. The array is commercially available with supporting marker annotations and initial genotyping results freely available.

Abstract
Androgenetically-derived haploids can be obtained by inducing embryogenesis in microspores. Thus, full homozygosity is achieved in a single generation, oppositely to conventional plant breeding programs. Here, the metabolite profile of embryogenic microspores of Triticum aestivum was acquired and integrated with transcriptomic existing data from the same samples in an effort to identify the key metabolic processes occurring during the early stages of microspore embryogenesis. Primary metabolites and transcription profiles were identified at three time points: prior to and immediately following a low temperature pre-treatment given to uninuclear microspores, and after the first nuclear division. This is the first time an integrative -omics analysis is reported in microspore embryogenesis in T. aestivum. The key findings were that the energy produced during the pre-treatment was obtained from the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and from starch degradation, while starch storage resumed after the first nuclear division. Intermediates of the TCA cycle were highly demanded from a very active amino acid metabolism. The transcription profiles of genes encoding enzymes involved in amino acid synthesis differed from the metabolite profiles. The abundance of glutamine synthetase was correlated with that of glutamine. Cytosolic glutamine synthetase isoform 1 was found predominantly after the nuclear division. Overall, energy production was shown to represent a major component of the de-differentiation process induced by the pre-treatment, supporting a highly active amino acid metabolism.

Abstract
Stripe rust is a devastating disease of wheat worldwide. Chinese wheat cultivar Lanhangxuan 121 (LHX121), selected from an advanced line L92-47 population that had been subjected to space mutation breeding displayed a consistently higher level of resistance to stipe rust than its parent in multiple field environments. The aim of this research was to establish the number and types of resistance genes in parental lines L92-47 and LHX121 using separate segregating populations. The first population developed from a cross between LHX121 and susceptible cultivar Xinong 822 comprised 278 F2:3 lines. The second validation population comprised 301 F2:3 lines from a cross between L92-47 and susceptible cultivar Xinong 979. Lines of two population were evaluated for stripe rust response at three sites during the 2018-2020 cropping season. Affymetrix 660 K SNP arrays were used to genotype the lines and parents. Inclusive composite interval mapping detected QTL QYrLHX.nwafu-2BS, QYrLHX.nwafu-3BS, and QYrLHX.nwafu-5BS for resistance in all three environments. Based on previous studies and pedigree information, QYrLHX.nwafu-2BS and QYrLHX.nwafu-3BS were likely to be Yr27 and Yr30 that are present in the L92-47 parent. QYrLHX.nwafu-5BS (YrL121) detected only in LHX121 was mapped to a 7.60 cM interval and explained 10.67-22.57% of the phenotypic variation. Compared to stripe rust resistance genes previously mapped to chromosome 5B, YrL121 might be a new adult plant resistance QTL. Furthermore, there were a number of variations signals using 35 K SNP array and differentially expressed genes using RNA-seq between L92-47 and LHX121 in the YrL121 region, indicating that they probably impair the presence and/or function of YrL121.

Abstract
The species composition of the genus Fusarium associated with Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat fields of Hungary in the year 2019 was assessed. Symptomatic wheat heads were collected at 20 geographical locations representing different ecosystems. A total of 256 Fusarium strains were isolated and identified by partial sequences of the translation elongation factor 1-alpha gene and, where required, the second-largest subunit of the DNA-directed RNA polymerase gene. Overall, Fusarium graminearum (58.2%) proved to be the dominant species, followed by F. annulatum (formerly F. proliferatum) (17.2%) and F. verticillioides (7.4%). The presence of all other species, including F. culmorum, in the population was less than 5%. F. graminearum was identified as the main species associated with FHB at 14 sampling sites. Fumonisin-producing F. annulatum, primarily known as the pathogen of maize in Hungary, was detected nearly as frequently as F. graminearum at three locations and dominated at two other sites. F. poae was not found during the survey. F. vorosii, a species that is believed to be of Asian origin and was already found in Hungary in 2002, was identified at two locations.

Abstract
Cultivating wheat (Triticum aestivum) in a closed environment offers applications in both indoor farming and in outer-space farming. Tailoring the photoperiod holds potential to shorten the growth cycle, thereby increasing the annual number of cycles. As wheat is a long-day plant, a night shorter than a critical length is required to induce flowering. In growth chambers, experiments were conducted to examine the impact of a 6 h light-dark cycle on the timing of wheat ear emergence, grain yield, and flour quality. Under equal daily light-integral conditions, the 6 h light-dark cycle promoted growth and development, resulting in accelerated ear emergence when compared to a 12 h cycle, additionally indicating that 12 h of darkness was excessive. To further stimulate heading and increase yield, the 6 h cycle was changed at the onset of stem elongation to a 14 h-10 h, mimicking spring conditions, and maintained until maturity. This successful transition was then combined with two levels of light intensity and nutrient solution, which did not significantly impact yield, while tillering and grain ripening did increase under higher light intensities. Moreover, it enabled manipulation of the baking quality, although lower-end falling numbers were observed. In conclusion, combining a 6 h light-dark cycle until stem elongation with a 14 h-10 h cycle presents a promising strategy for increasing future wheat production in closed environments. The observation of low falling numbers underscores the importance of factoring in flour quality when designing the wheat-growing systems of the future.

Abstract
This study evaluated the efficacy of phytogenic silver and zinc nanoparticles in improving heat resilience in various wheat varieties. The silver and zinc nanoparticles were synthesized using plant leaf extract and characterized using various techniques. Four wheat varieties (DBW187, Black Wheat, DBW 50, and PBW 621) were subjected to field trials. The random block design was used, and nanoparticles in different concentrations were applied at various growth stages and morphologically, and yield parameters were recorded. UV-vis spectroscopy spectral analysis showed peaks for Ag nanoparticles at 420 nm wavelength and Zn nanoparticles at 240 and 350 nm wavelength, depicting the preliminary confirmation of nanoparticle synthesis. Electron microscopic analysis (TEM and SEM) provided morphological insights and confirmed synthesis of fine-sized particle mostly in a range between 10 and 60 nm. Energy dispersive x-ray analysis confirmed the elemental composition of the synthesized nanoparticles, with Ag and Zn elements detected in their respective samples. It also confirmed the oxide nature of synthesized ZnNPs. Dynamic light scattering analysis provided size distribution profiles, indicating average sizes of approximately 61.8 nm for Ag nanoparticles and 46.5 nm for Zn nanoparticles. The concentrations of Ag and Zn nanoparticles in the samples were found to be 196.3 ppm and 115.14 ppm, respectively, through atomic absorption spectroscopic analysis. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis revealed characteristic functional groups present in the nanoparticles. The results of field experiments established that Ag nanoparticles at 75 ppm concentration exhibited the most significant enhancements in plant growth. Conversely, Zn nanoparticles at a 100 ppm concentration demonstrated the most substantial improvements in the growth and yield of heat-stressed wheat varieties. The study concludes that optimized concentrations of silver and zinc nanoparticles can effectively improve heat stress resilience in wheat. These findings are promising to enhance abiotic stress resilience in crops.

Abstract
The NRAMPs (natural resistance-associated macrophage proteins) are major transporters for the absorption and transport of metals like Pb, Zn, Mn, Fe, and Cd in plants. While NRAMP gene family members have been extensively studied as metal transporters in model and other plants, little information has been reported on their role in Triticum aestivum, particularly in response to Cd stress. Current study reported 13 NRAMP candidates in the genome of T. aestivum. Phylogenetic analysis divided these into three clades. Motif and gene structure study showed that members in the same clades shared the same location and pattern, which further supported the phylogenetic analysis. The analysis of cis-acting elements in promoter sequences of NRAMP genes in wheat identified stress-responsive transcription factor binding sites. Multiple sequence alignment identified the conservation of important residues. Based on RNA-seq and qRT-PCR analysis, Cd stress-responsive variations of TaNRAMP gene expression were reported. This study provides comprehensive data to understand the TaNRAMP gene family, its features, and its expression, which will be a helpful framework for functional research.

Abstract
Maintaining global food security in the context of climate changes will be an important challenge in the next century. Improving abiotic stress tolerance of major crops such as wheat can contribute to this goal. This can be achieved by the identification of the genes involved and their use to develop tools for breeding programs aiming to generate better adapted cultivars. Recently, we identified the wheat TaZFP13D gene encoding Zinc Finger Protein 13D as a new gene improving water-stress tolerance. The current work analyzes the TaZFP13D-dependent transcriptome modifications that occur in well-watered and dehydration conditions to better understand its function during normal growth and during drought. Plants that overexpress TaZFP13D have a higher biomass under well-watered conditions, indicating a positive effect of the protein on growth. Survival rate and stress recovery after a severe drought stress are improved compared to wild-type plants. The latter is likely due the higher activity of key antioxidant enzymes and concomitant reduction of drought-induced oxidative damage. Conversely, down-regulation of TaZFP13D decreases drought tolerance and protection against drought-induced oxidative damage. RNA-Seq transcriptome analysis identified many genes regulated by TaZFP13D that are known to improve drought tolerance. The analysis also revealed several genes involved in the photosynthetic electron transfer chain known to improve photosynthetic efficiency and chloroplast protection against drought-induced ROS damage. This study highlights the important role of TaZFP13D in wheat drought tolerance, contributes to unravel the complex regulation governed by TaZFPs, and suggests that it could be a promising marker to select wheat cultivars with higher drought tolerance.

Abstract
In the present investigation, the role of GS-AgNPs treatment in wheat plants was carried out in reducing heat stress with the aim of facilitating scientists on this topic. The effect of GS-AgNPs against heat stress has rarely been deliberated in wheat plants, and only a few studies have been established earlier in this scenario. This work illustrated the effect of GS-AgNPs on the regulation of carbohydrates metabolism, SOD, proteins, crude fibers, and minerals changes in wheat plants. Data were analysed using PCA analysis, correlation parameters, and normal probability distribution in PAST 3 software. The results indicated that heat stress alone caused severe changes in carbohydrates metabolism, SOD, proteins, crude fibers, and minerals immediately so that plants could not recover without foreign stabilizers such as GS-AgNPs. The application of GS-AgNPs increases the flux of carbohydrates metabolism, SOD, and proteins, including HSPs, crude fibers, and minerals, in wheat plants to reduce the effect of heat stress. The 50 mg/l concentration of GS-AgNPs has shown an increase in carbohydrates metabolism and SOD activity, while crude fibres have shown a significant enhancement at 100 mg/l of GS-AgNPs. The crude and true proteins were also shown pronounced increase in treatment to a concentration of 50 mg/l of GS-AgNPs. GS-AgNPs stimulated HSP production; most importantly, smHSP production was observed in the present results with other HSPs in wheat plants treated with a 50 mg/l concentration of GS-AgNPs. The mineral distribution was also regulated by the respective treatment of GS-AgNPs, and the highest amounts of Ca, P and Fe were found to be highest in wheat under heat stress. In general, we computed the expected model based on GS-AgNPs on the genes/factors that respond to heat stress and their potential role in mitigating heat stress in wheat. In addition, we discussed the prospective signalling pathway triggered by GS-AgNPs in wheat against heat stress. In the future, this work might be helpful in distinguishing the genetic variation due to GS-AgNPs in promoting tolerance in wheat against heat stress.Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

Abstract
Wheat sheath blight caused by the necrotic fungal pathogen Rhizoctonia cerealis is responsible for severe damage to bread wheat. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are vital for stress resistance by plants and their homeostasis plays an important role in wheat resistance to sheath blight. Valine-glutamine (VQ) proteins play important roles in plant growth and development, and responses to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the functional mechanism mediated by wheat VQ protein in response to sheath blight via ROS homeostasis regulation is unclear. In this study, we identified TaVQ22 protein containing the VQ motif and clarified the functional mechanisms involved in the defense of wheat against R. cerealis. TaVQ22 silencing reduced the accumulation of ROS and enhanced the resistance of wheat to R. cerealis. In addition, we showed that TaVQ22 regulated ROS generation by interacting with the WRKY transcription factor TaWRKY19-2B, thereby indicating that TaVQ22 and TaWRKY19-2B formed complexes in the plant cell nucleus. Yeast two-hybrid analysis showed that the VQ motif in TaVQ22 is crucial for the interaction, where it inhibits the transcriptional activation function of TaWRKY19-2B. In summary, TaVQ22 interacts with TaWRKY19-2B to regulate ROS homeostasis and negatively regulate the defense response to R. cerealis infection. This study provides novel insights into the mechanism that allows VQ protein to mediate the immune response in plants.

Abstract
Mercury (Hg) pollution is a global concern in cropland systems. Hg contamination causes a disruption in the growth, energy metabolism, redox balance, and photosynthetic activity of plants. In the removal of Hg toxicity, a recent critical strategy is the use of aerogels with biodegradability and biocompatibility. However, it is unknown how graphene oxide-based aerogels stimulate the defense systems in wheat plants exposed to Hg toxicity. Therefore, in this study, the photosynthetic, genetic, and biochemical effects of reduced graphene oxide aerogel treatments (gA; 50-100-250 mg L-1) were examined in wheat (Triticum aestivum) under Hg stress (50 μM HgCl2). The relative growth rate (RGR) significantly decreased (84%) in response to Hg stress. However, the reduced RGR and water relations (RWC) of wheat were improved by gA treatments. The impaired gas exchange levels (stomatal conductance, carbon assimilation rate, intercellular CO2 concentrations, and transpiration rate) caused by stress were reversed under Hg plus gAs. Additionally, stress hampered chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fo, Fv/Fm), and under Hg toxicity the expression of psaA genes was reduced (>0.4-fold), but psaB gene was significantly up-regulated (>3-fold) which are the genes involved in PSI. By increasing expression patterns of both genes relating to PSI, gAs reversed the adverse consequences on Fv/Fo and Fv/Fm in the presence of excessive Hg concentration. The activities of glutathione S-transferase (GST), glutathione reductase (GR), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR) decreased under Hg toxicity. On the other hand, the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), APX, GST, and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) increased following gA treatments against stress, leading to the successful elimination of toxic levels of H2O2 and lipid peroxidation (TBARS content) by decreasing the levels by about 30%, and 40%, respectively. By modulating enzyme/non-enzyme activity/contents including the AsA-GSH cycle, gAs contributed to the protection of the cellular redox state. Most important of all, gA applications were able to reduce Hg intake by approximately 66%. Therefore, these results showed that gAs were effective in highly inhibiting Hg uptake and could significantly increase wheat tolerance to toxicity by eliminating Hg-induced oxidative damage and inhibiting metabolic processes involved in photosynthesis. The findings obtained from the study provide a new perspective on the alleviation roles of reduced graphene oxide aerogels as an effective adsorbent for decreasing damages of mercury toxicity in wheat plants.

Abstract
Introduction Wheat stem sawfly (WSS), Cephus cinctus Norton, is a major pest of common bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and other cultivated cereals in North America. Planting of cultivars with solid stems has been the primary management strategy to prevent yield loss due to WSS infestation, however expression of this phenotype can vary depending on environmental conditions and solid stems hinder biological control of WSS via braconid parasitoids Bracon cephi (Gahan) and Bracon lissogaster Muesebeck. In the hollow stems of oat (Avena sativa L.), WSS larvae experience 100% mortality before they reach late instars, but the mechanisms for this observed resistance have not been characterized. Objective The objective of this study was to explore additional sources of resistance outside of the historic solid stem phenotype. Methods Here, we use an untargeted metabolomics approach to examine the response of the metabolome of two cultivars of oat and four cultivars of spring wheat to infestation by WSS. Using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), differentially expressed metabolites were identified between oat and wheat which were associated with the phenylpropanoid pathway, phospholipid biosynthesis and signaling, the salicylic acid signaling pathway, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) degradation, and biosynthesis of 1,4-benzoxazin-3-ones (Bxs). Several phospho- and galacto- lipids were found in higher abundance in oat, and with the exception of early stem solidness cultivar Conan, both species experienced a decrease in abundance once infested. In all wheat cultivars except Conan, an increase in abundance was observed for Bxs HMDBOA-glc and DIBOA-β-D-glucoside after infestation, indicating that this pathway is involved in wheat response to infestation in both solid and hollow stemmed cultivars. Differences between species in compounds involved in IAA biosynthesis, degradation and inactivation suggest that wheat may respond to infestation by inactivating IAA or altering the IAA pool in stem tissue. Conclusion We propose that the species differences found here likely affect the survival of WSS larvae and may also be associated with differences in stem architecture at the molecular level. Our findings suggest pathways to focus on for future studies in elucidating plant response to WSS infestation.

Abstract
Incorporating the centromere-specific histone H3 protein CENH3 into the centromeric nucleosomes is indispensable for accurate centromere function and balanced chromosome segregation in most eukaryotes, including higher plants. In the cell nuclei of interspecific hybrids, divergent centromeric DNAs cohabit and lead the corresponding parental chromosomes through the mitotic and meiotic cell divisions. Depending on the transmission of the parental chromosomes carrying the CENH3-encoding genes, CENH3 proteins from one or both parents may be present in these hybrids. The incorporation of parental CENH3 proteins into the divergent centromeres and their role in the chromosome elimination process in interspecific hybrids is still poorly understood. Here, we produced wheat × barley F1 hybrids that carried different combinations of barley chromosomes with genes encoding for either one (αCENH3) or both barley CENH3 protein variants (α- and βCENH3). We generated specific antibodies distinguishing between the wheat CENH3 proteins and barley αCENH3 and applied them together with FISH probes to detect the precise pattern of parental CENH3 deposition into the wheat and barley centromeric nucleosomes. Analysis of somatic and meiotic nuclei of the wheat × barley hybrids revealed the plasticity of the maternal (wheat) CENH3 proteins to become incorporated into the paternal (barley) centromeric nucleosomes. However, no evidence for paternal CENH3 plasticity was detected in this study. The significance of the unilateral centromere plasticity and possible patterns of CENH3 incorporation into centromeres in interspecific hybrids are discussed.

Abstract
Copper (Cu) is one of the essential micronutrients for plants and has been used extensively in agricultural applications from the past to the present. However, excess copper causes toxic effects such as inhibiting photosynthesis, and disrupting biochemical processes in plants. Nanotechnology applications have offered a critical method for minimizing adverse effects and improving the effectiveness of copper nanoparticles. For this purpose, this study investigated the physiological and biochemical effects of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-coated Cu nanoparticles (PVP-Cu NP, N1, 100 mg L-1; N2, 400 mg L-1) in Triticum aestivum under alone or combined with salt (S, 150 mM NaCl) and/or drought (D, %10 PEG-6000) stress. Salinity and water deprivation caused 51% and 22% growth retardation in wheat seedlings. The combined stress condition (S + D) resulted in an approximately 3-fold reduction in the osmotic potential of the leaves. PVP-Cu NP treatments to plants under stress, especially N1 dose, were effective in restoring growth rate and regulating water relations. All stress treatments limited gas exchange in stomata and suppressed the maximal quantum yield of PSII (Fv/Fm). More than 50% improvement was observed in stomatal permeability and carbon assimilation rate under S + N1 and S + N2 applications. Examination of OJIP transient parameters revealed that N1 treatments protected photochemical reactions by reducing the dissipated energy flux (DIo/RC) in drought and S + D conditions. Exposure to S and/or D stress caused high hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) accumulation and lipid peroxidation in wheat leaves. The results indicated that S + N1 and S + N2 treatments reduced oxidative damage by stimulating the activities of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POX), and ascorbate peroxidase (APX). Although similar effects were observed at D and S + D conditions with 100 mg L-1 PVP-Cu NP treatments (N1), the curative effect of the N2 dose was not observed. In D + N1 and S + D + N1 groups, AsA regeneration and GSH redox status were maintained by triggering APX, GR, and other enzyme activities belonging to the AsA-GSH cycle. In these groups, N2 treatment did not contribute to the availability of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants. As a result, this study revealed that N1 dose PVP-Cu NP application was successful in providing stress tolerance and limiting copper-induced adverse effects under all stress conditions.

This study investigated the effect of three formulation variables on particle size and entrapment efficiency, namely the sodium alginate concentration, the chitosan concentration, and the sonication time. Extraction of wheatgrass was done in a soxhlet extractor, using methanolic extract. Furthermore, the authors have examined recent patents associated with wheatgrass to enhance their comprehension of this herbal plant. RESULTS The hot homogenisation technique was used to prepare Triticum aestivum extract loaded with solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs). For BBD, all formulations were analysed for particle size, which ranged from 394.4 to 911.2 nm, and for polydispersity index, which ranged from 0.527 to 1.0. Batch code BB SLN-8 was found to be the finest suitable because of a maximum loading capacity of 58.23 ±0.11 % (w/w), maximum entrapment efficiency of 55.12±0.17 % (w/w), and minimum particle size of 394.4nm by using sodium alginate as a surface stabiliser at sonication time ~ 10 min and having maximum percentage yield of 49.87%. During characterisation studies and MCF-6 cell line studies, it was found that wheatgrass has antioxidant potential and is potent against breast cancer. CONCLUSION As an alternative medicine for cancer, wheatgrass is considered to be effective due to its high antioxidant content.

Abstract
The significance of heat stress in agriculture is ever-increasing with the progress of global climate changes. Due to a negative effect on the yield of staple crops, including wheat, the impairment of plant reproductive development triggered by high ambient temperature became a restraint in food production. Although the heat sensitivity of male meiosis and the following gamete development in wheat has long been recognized, a detailed structural characterization combined with a comprehensive gene expression analysis has not been done about this phenomenon. We demonstrate here that heat stress severely alters the cytoskeletal configuration, triggers the failure of meiotic division in wheat. Moreover, it changes the expression of genes related to gamete development in male meiocytes and the tapetum layer in a genotype-dependent manner. 'Ellvis', a heat-tolerant winter wheat cultivar, showed high spikelet fertility rate and only scarce structural aberrations upon exposure to high temperature. In addition, heat shock genes and genes involved in scavenging reactive oxygen species were significantly upregulated in 'Ellvis', and the expression of meiosis-specific and major developmental genes showed high stability in this cultivar. In the heat-sensitive 'Mv 17-09', however, genes participating in cytoskeletal fiber nucleation, the spindle assembly checkpoint genes, and tapetum-specific developmental regulators were downregulated. These alterations may be related to the decreased cytoskeleton content, frequent micronuclei formation, and the erroneous persistence of the tapetum layer observed in the sensitive genotype. Our results suggest that understanding the heat-sensitive regulation of these gene functions would be an essential contribution to the development of new, heat-tolerant cultivars.

Abstract
Introduction Climate change is likely to lead to not only increased global temperatures but also a more variable climate where unseasonal periods of heat stress are more prevalent. This has been evidenced by the observation of spring-time temperatures approaching 40°C in some of the main spring-wheat producing countries, such as the USA, in recent years. With an optimum growth temperature of around 20°C, wheat is particularly prone to damage by heat stress. A warming climate with increasingly common fluctuations in temperature therefore threatens wheat crops and subsequently the lives and livelihoods of billions of people who depend on the crop for food. To futureproof wheat against a variable climate, a better understanding of the response to early heat stress is required. Methods Here, we utilised DESeq2 to identify 7,827 genes which were differentially expressed in wheat landraces after early heat stress exposure. Candidate hub genes, which may regulate the transcriptional response to early heat stress, were identified via weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), and validated by qRT-PCR. Results Two of the most promising candidate hub genes (TraesCS3B02G409300 and TraesCS1B02G384900) may downregulate the expression of genes involved in the drought, salinity, and cold responses-genes which are unlikely to be required under heat stress-as well as photosynthesis genes and stress hormone signalling repressors, respectively. We also suggest a role for a poorly characterised sHSP hub gene (TraesCS4D02G212300), as an activator of the heat stress response, potentially inducing the expression of a vast suite of heat shock proteins and transcription factors known to play key roles in the heat stress response. Discussion The present work represents an exploratory examination of the heat-induced transcriptional change in wheat landrace seedlings and identifies several candidate hub genes which may act as regulators of this response and, thus, may be targets for breeders in the production of thermotolerant wheat varieties.

Abstract
Wheat blast, caused by Pyricularia oryzae Triticum (PoT), is an emerging threat to global wheat production. The current understanding of the population biology of the pathogen and epidemiology of the disease has been based on phylogenomic studies that compared the wheat blast pathogen with isolates collected from grasses that were invasive to Brazilian wheat fields. In this study, we performed a comprehensive sampling of blast lesions in wheat crops and endemic grasses found in and away from wheat fields in Minas Gerais. A total of 1,368 diseased samples were collected (976 leaves of wheat and grasses and 392 wheat heads), which yielded a working collection of 564 Pyricularia isolates. We show that, contrary to earlier implications, PoT was rarely found on endemic grasses, and, conversely, members of grass-adapted lineages were rarely found on wheat. Instead, most lineages were host-specialized, with constituent isolates usually grouping according to their host of origin. With regard to the dominant role proposed for signalgrass in wheat blast epidemiology, we found only one PoT member in 67 isolates collected from signalgrass grown away from wheat fields and only three members of Urochloa-adapted lineages among hundreds of isolates from wheat. Cross-inoculation assays on wheat and a signalgrass used in pastures (U. brizantha) suggested that the limited cross-infection observed in the field may be due to innate compatibility differences. Whether or not the observed level of cross-infection would be sufficient to provide an inoculum reservoir, or serve as a bridge between wheat growing regions, is questionable and, therefore, deserves further investigation.

Abstract
Stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt), is an important disease of wheat in South Africa (SA) and is primarily controlled using resistant cultivars. Understanding virulence diversity of Pgt is essential for successful breeding of resistant cultivars. Samples of infected wheat stems were collected across the major wheat-growing regions of SA from 2016 to 2020 to determine the pathogenic variability of Pgt isolates. Seven races were identified from 517 isolates pathotyped. The most frequently found races were 2SA104 (BPGSC + Sr9h,27,Kw) (35% frequency) and 2SA88 (TTKSF + Sr8b) (33%). Race 2SA42 (PTKSK + Sr8b), which was found in 2017, and 2SA5 (BFGSF + Sr9h), identified in 2017, are new races. The Ug99 variant race 2SA42 is similar in its virulence to 2SA107 (PTKST + Sr8b) except for avirulence to Sr24 and virulence to Sr8155B1. Race 2SA5 is closely related in its virulence to existing races that commonly infect triticale. Certain races showed limited geographical distribution. Races 2SA5, 2SA105, and 2SA108 were found only in the Western Cape, whereas 2SA107 and 2SA42 were detected only in the Free State province. The new and existing races were compared using microsatellite (SSR) marker analysis and their virulence on commercial cultivars was also determined. Seedling response of 113 wheat entries against the new races, using 2SA88, 2SA88+9h, 2SA106, and 2SA107 as controls, revealed 2SA107 as the most virulent (67 entries susceptible), followed by 2SA42 (64), 2SA106 (60), 2SA88+9h (59), 2SA88 (25), and 2SA5 (17). Thus, 2SA5 may not pose a significant threat to local wheat production. SSR genotyping revealed that 2SA5 is genetically distinct from all other SA Pgt races.

Abstract
Wheat (Triticum aestivum Linn.; Poaceae) is the second most cultivated food crop among all global cereal crop production. The high carbohydrate content of its grains provides energy, multiple nutrients, and dietary fiber. After threshing, a substantial amount of wheat hull is produced, which serves as the non-food component of wheat. For the valorization of these by-products as a new resource from which functional components can be extracted, the hull from the seeds of cultivated wheat mutant lines bred after γ-irradiation were collected. Untargeted metabolite analysis of the hull of the original cultivar (a crossbreeding cultivar., Woori-mil × D-7) and its 983 mutant lines were conducted using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry technique. A total of 55 molecules were tentatively identified, including 21 compounds found in the Triticum species for the first time and 13 compounds not previously described. Among them, seven flavonolignans with a diastereomeric structure, isolated as a single compound from the hull of T. aestivum in our previous study, were used as the standards in the metabolite analysis. The differences in their collision cross-section values were shown to contribute to the clear distinction between tricine-lignan stereoisomers. To select functionally active agents with anti-inflammatory activity among the identified compounds, the wheat hull samples were evaluated for their inhibitory effect on nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. As a result of multivariate analysis based on the results of chemical and biological profiles of the wheat hull samples, 10 metabolites were identified as key markers, contributing to the distinction between active and inactive mutant lines. Considering that one of the four key markers attributed to anti-inflammatory activity has been identified to be a flavonolignan, the wheat hull could be a valuable source of diverse tricin-lignan type compounds and used as a natural health-promoting product in food supplements.

Abstract
Restrictions on the use of antimicrobial compounds have led to a surge of interest in alternative solutions, such as natural, plant-based compounds. In our study, we investigated the efficacy of three feed supplements containing different additives, namely, probiotics (Lactobacillus spp., "Test substance A"), turmeric (Curcuma longa L., "Test substance B"), and fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum, "Test substance C"). In the experiment, we tested 180 birds of the Bábolna Tetra-SL laying hybrid breed that were infected with Salmonella enteritidis strains. The birds were randomly divided into six groups: three groups treated with the different additives, a negative control group, a positive control group, and an antibiotic-treated group using enrofloxacin. We examined the maturation and the time course of shedding of Salmonella; at the end of rearing, pathological and histopathological examinations were performed. When Salmonella was isolated from the cloacal swab samples, the enrofloxacin-treated group had a high number of animals shedding Salmonella by day 9, which was like the group treated with test material C. The greatest reduction in Salmonella shedding was observed in the groups treated with test materials A and B. In terms of pathological parameters, villus length and crypt depth were significantly better in the group treated with test material C compared to the positive and negative controls, and when comparing the body weight of the tested animals, the group treated with test material B had a significantly larger absorption surface area compared to the positive control group. Overall, the supplement with test material C proved to be the most effective. In the future, it is worthwhile to investigate the combination of the tested active substances for their possible synergistic effects and to perform a dose-response study to select the optimal dosage.

Abstract
Ribosome is a major part of the protein synthesis machinery, and analysis of its structure is of paramount importance. However, the structure of ribosomes from only a limited number of organisms has been resolved to date; it especially concerns plant ribosomes and ribosomal subunits. Here, we report a high-resolution cryo-electron microscopy reconstruction of the small subunit of the Triticum aestivum (common wheat) cytoplasmic ribosome. A detailed atomic model was built that includes the majority of the rRNA and some of the protein modifications. The analysis of the obtained data revealed structural peculiarities of the 40S subunit in the monocot plant ribosome. We applied the 3D Flexible Refinement approach to analyze the internal mobility of the 40S subunit and succeeded in decomposing it into four major motions, describing rotations of the head domain and a shift in the massive rRNA expansion segment. It was shown that these motions are almost uncorrelated and that the 40S subunit is flexible enough to spontaneously adopt any conformation it takes as a part of a translating ribosome or ribosomal complex. Here, we introduce the first high-resolution structure of an isolated plant 40S subunit and the first quantitative analysis of the flexibility of small ribosomal subunits, hoping that it will help in studying various aspects of ribosome functioning.

Abstract
Knowledge of the magnitude of gene effects and their interactions, their nature, and contribution to determining quantitative traits is very important in conducting an effective breeding program. In traditional breeding, information on the parameter related to additive gene effect and additive-additive interaction (epistasis) and higher-order additive interactions would be useful. Although commonly overlooked in studies, higher-order interactions have a significant impact on phenotypic traits. Failure to account for the effect of triplet interactions in quantitative genetics can significantly underestimate additive QTL effects. Understanding the genetic architecture of quantitative traits is a major challenge in the post-genomic era, especially for quantitative trait locus (QTL) effects, QTL-QTL interactions, and QTL-QTL-QTL interactions. This paper proposes using weighted multiple linear regression to estimate the effects of triple interaction (additive-additive-additive) quantitative trait loci (QTL-QTL-QTL). The material for the study consisted of 126 doubled haploid lines of winter wheat (Mandub × Begra cross). The lines were analyzed for 18 traits, including percentage of necrosis leaf area, percentage of leaf area covered by pycnidia, heading data, and height. The number of genes (the number of effective factors) was lower than the number of QTLs for nine traits, higher for four traits and equal for five traits. The number of triples for unweighted regression ranged from 0 to 9, while for weighted regression, it ranged from 0 to 13. The total aaagu effect ranged from - 14.74 to 15.61, while aaagw ranged from - 23.39 to 21.65. The number of detected threes using weighted regression was higher for two traits and lower for four traits. Forty-nine statistically significant threes of the additive-by-additive-by-additive interaction effects were observed. The QTL most frequently occurring in threes was 4407404 (9 times). The use of weighted regression improved (in absolute value) the assessment of QTL-QTL-QTL interaction effects compared to the assessment based on unweighted regression. The coefficients of determination for the weighted regression model were higher, ranging from 0.8 to 15.5%, than for the unweighted regression. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the QTL-QTL-QTL triple interaction had a significant effect on the expression of quantitative traits. The use of weighted multiple linear regression proved to be a useful statistical tool for estimating additive-additive-additive (aaa) interaction effects. The weighted regression also provided results closer to phenotypic evaluations than estimator values obtained using unweighted regression, which is closer to the true values.

Abstract
Carotenoids and Tocols in six genotypes of Triticum turgidum ssp. durum, five of Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccum, four of Triticum aestivum ssp. aestivum, and six of Triticum aestivum ssp. spelta were investigated. The aim of the present study was to identify, quantify, and compare the content of tocopherols, tocotrienols, and carotenoids in different primitive and modern genotypes of wheat species in order to evaluate the lines with the highest content and possibly use them for selection and breeding programs. The Triticum durum group showed the highest mean content of total carotenoids, with lutein being the most abundant, accounting for 80.12 % (Triticum spelta) to 86.65 % (Triticum turgidum) of total carotenoids. Among the genotypes, Line 6 (Triticum durum) had the highest lutein content (12.17 μg g-1), significantly differing from the lines within its group and the other groups of dicoccum, aestivum, and spelta.Triticum dicoccum exhibited a lower average content of total tocols compared to other Triticum species. The tocols profile showed a prevalence of tocotrienols over tocopherols. β + γ-T3 was the most abundant individual tocol isomer in all Triticum genotypes, contributing for 50.40 % (Triticum ssp. aestivum) and 42.50 % (Triticum spelta) of the total content, respectively. The highest β + γ-T3 content (23.83 μg/g) was found in Line 6 of Triticum durum. Correlation, principal component, and cluster analyses revealed positive correlations between total tocols and β/γ tocotrienols, significant differences between various groups of the same species, formation of six clusters labeled as I to VI, and the identification of genotypes from the same species grouped in different clusters.

Abstract
MAIN CONCLUSION Characterization of the early leaf senescence mutant els3 and identification of its causal gene ELS3, which encodes an LRR-RLK protein in wheat. Leaf senescence is an important agronomic trait that affects both crop yield and quality. However, few senescence-related genes in wheat have been cloned and functionally analyzed. Here, we report the characterization of the early leaf senescence mutant els3 and fine mapping of its causal gene ELS3 in wheat. Compared with wild-type Yanzhan4110 (YZ4110), the els3 mutant had a decreased chlorophyll content and a degraded chloroplast structure after the flowering stage. Further biochemical assays in flag leaves showed that the superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide contents increased, while the activities of antioxidant enzymes, including catalase, superoxide dismutase and glutathione reductase, decreased gradually after the flowering stage in the els3 mutant. To clone the causal gene underlying the phenotype of leaf senescence, a genetic map was constructed using 10,133 individuals of F2:3 populations, and ELS3 was located in a 2.52 Mb region on chromosome 2DL containing 16 putative genes. Subsequent sequence analysis and gene annotation identified only one SNP (C to T) in the first exon of TraesCS2D02G332700, resulting in an amino acid substitution (Pro329Ser), and TraesCS2D02G332700 was preliminarily considered as the candidate gene of ELS3. ELS3 encodes a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase (LRR-RLK) protein that is localized on the cell membrane. We also found that the transient expression of mutant TraesCS2D02G332700 can induce leaf senescence in N. benthamiana. Taken together, TraesCS2D02G332700 is likely to be the candidate gene of ELS3 and may have a function in regulating leaf senescence.

Abstract
Heat stress is a major abiotic stress that can cause serious losses of a crop. Our previous work identified a gene involved in heat stress tolerance in wheat, TaPLC1-2B. To further investigate its mechanisms, in the present study, TaPLC1-2B RNAi-silenced transgenic wheat and the wild type were comparatively analyzed at both the seedling and adult stages, with or without heat stress, using transcriptome sequencing. A total of 15,549 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified at the adult stage and 20,535 DEGs were detected at the seedling stage. After heat stress, an enrichment of pathways such as phytohormones and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling was mainly found in the seedling stage, and pathways related to metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, circadian rhythms, and ABC transporter were enriched in the adult stage. Auxin and abscisic acid were downregulated in the seedling stage and vice versa in the adult stage; and the MYB, WRKY, and no apical meristem gene families were downregulated in the seedling stage in response to heat stress and upregulated in the adult stage in response to heat stress. This study deepens our understanding of the mechanisms of TaPLC1-2B in regard to heat stress in wheat at the seedling and adult stages.

Abstract
The Hessian fly (Hf) and greenbugs (Gb) are major pests of wheat, causing severe economic losses globally. Deploying resistant wheat is the most effective strategy for managing these destructive insects. However, the resistance is not effective against all Hf or Gb biotypes and can impose selection pressure on insects, resulting in the development of virulent biotypes. These challenges must be met through the discovery of new and novel sources of resistance to these pests. Synthetic Hexaploid Wheat (SHW)-developed cultivars are a rich source of resistance against a diverse array of pathogens and pests. In this study, 80 SHW lines were evaluated for their resistance to Hf and Gb under controlled environmental conditions. Of these, a total of 36 SHW lines showed resistance independently to Hf biotype L and Gb biotype E, while 27 lines showed combined resistance to both Hf and Gb. Further, a subset of 10 SHW lines showed resistance to additional Hf biotypes, Great Plains and vH13. The identification of SHW lines resistant to multiple insects and biotypes offers an invaluable resource to breeders who are looking to stack resistance traits to develop elite cultivars as a strategy to alleviate economic impacts upon global wheat production.

Abstract
The mechanical performance of thermoplastic bulk samples obtained by plasticizing wheat flours differing in grain hardness, alveographic parameters, absence or presence of bran, and grinding level was assessed. Grains of four bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars (Altamira, Aubusson, Blasco, and Bologna) were milled with the aim of producing single-cultivar refined flour (R), or wholegrain flour with fine (F) or coarse (C) grinding. The flours were plasticized, injection molded and tested for tensile properties. The results confirmed that the presence of bran increased the strength (σ) and reduced the elongation at break (ε) of thermoplastics obtained from the flours of each cultivar. The grinding level had an effect, since σ was higher and ε was lower in F than in C samples. SEM analysis of samples revealed that the bran and its texture affected the exposure of starch granules to plasticizer. Composting experiments also revealed that the formulations are able to disintegrate within 21 days with a mass loss rate higher in plastics from F than C flours, while germination tests carried out with cress seeds indicated that it takes two months before the compost loses its phytotoxic effects. Overall, the refining and bran particle size of wheat flours, besides their gluten composition and baking properties, represent novel choice factors to be considered when tailoring the manufacturing of plastic materials for selected requirements and uses.

Abstract
Bacterial leaf streak of small-grain cereals is an economically important disease of wheat and barley crops. The disease occurs in many countries across the globe, with particular importance in regions characterized by high precipitation or areas in which sprinkler irrigation is used. Three genetically distinct lineages of the Gram-negative bacterium Xanthomonas translucens (X. translucens pv. undulosa, X. translucens pv. translucens, and X. translucens pv. cerealis) are responsible for most of the bacterial leaf streak infections on wheat and barley crops. Considering the seedborne nature of the pathogens, they are included in the A2 (high-risk) list of quarantine organisms for some European countries; hence, they are under strict quarantine control and zero tolerance. Due to the taxonomic complexities within X. translucens, the exact geographic distribution of each pathovar has not yet been determined. In this mini review, we provide an updated overview of the detection and diagnosis of the bacterial leaf streak pathogens. First, a short history of the leaf streak pathogens is provided, followed by the symptomology and host range of the causal agents. Then, the utility of conventional methods and high-throughput molecular approaches in the precise detection and identification of the pathogens is explained. Finally, we highlight the role of quarantine inspections and early detection of the pathogen in combating the risk of bacterial leaf streak in the 21st century's small-grains cereals' industry.

Abstract
As an indolamine, melatonin (C13H16N2O2) performs essential roles in the regulation of plant growth and development and ameliorates the harmful effects of abiotic stresses. This study examined two types of melatonin application, pre-sowing (prMel) and application during growth (ptMel), in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings exposed to four different doses (100, 200, 300, and 400 Gy) of radioactive cobalt (60Co) gamma rays as dry seeds to investigate their ameliorative effects on ionizing radiation (IR) stress. Peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, glutathione reductase, mono- and dihydroxyperoxidase, and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activities, and levels of lipid peroxidation, H2O2, and total glutathione (GSH), and phenolic acids (PHAs) in soluble free, ester, glycoside and ester-bound forms were examined in the seedlings. Both melatonin applications were found to increase lipid peroxidation, H2O2, and GSH contents previously reduced by gamma irradiation. The IR treatment-induced increases in enzyme activities were significantly reduced by melatonin applications. The study findings indicated that high doses of IR resulted in significant decreases in the activity and levels of the measured traits. The predominant PHAs in the tissues were vanillic, ferulic, and p-coumaric acids. In addition, ptMel application combined with IR stress lowered the total phenolic acid contents in the soluble forms while increasing those in the cell wall-bound form. In conclusion, the antioxidant system in the seedlings exposed to the different gamma ray doses was regulated by prMel and ptMel applications in such a manner as to alleviate IR stress-induced oxidatives damages in the wheat.

Abstract
Selecting drought-tolerant and more water-efficient wheat genotypes is a research priority, specifically in regions with irregular rainfall or areas where climate change is expected to result in reduced water availability. The objective of this work was to use high-throughput measurements with morphophysiological traits to characterize wheat genotypes in relation to water stress. Field experiments were conducted from May to September 2018 and 2019, using a sprinkler bar irrigation system to control water availability to eighteen wheat genotypes: BRS 254; BRS 264; CPAC 01019; CPAC 01047; CPAC 07258; CPAC 08318; CPAC 9110; BRS 394 (irrigated biotypes), and Aliança; BR 18_Terena; BRS 404; MGS Brilhante; PF 020037; PF 020062; PF 120337; PF 100368; PF 080492; and TBIO Sintonia (rainfed biotypes). The water regimes varied from 22 to 100% of the crop evapotranspiration replacement. Water stress negatively affected gas exchange, vegetation indices, and grain yield. High throughput variables TCARI, NDVI, OSAVI, SAVI, PRI, NDRE, and GNDVI had higher yield and morphophysiological measurement correlations. The drought resistance index indicated that genotypes Aliança, BRS 254, BRS 404, CPAC 01019, PF 020062, and PF 080492 were more drought tolerant.

Abstract
Common bunt caused by Tilletia tritici and T. laevis has re-emerged as a major threat to wheat yield and quality, especially in organic farming. Resistance against its causal agents is present in the wheat gene pool and provides the most economically efficient and sustainable way to combat the disease since seed treatments approved for organic farming are rare and do not always provide full protection. We tested a winter wheat diversity panel with 128 lines for common bunt resistance in Austria and Czechia, and evaluated the applicability of marker-assisted selection (MAS) via Kompetitive Allele-Specific PCR markers in genotypes with high variation in their genetic background. Field trials were conducted across two years and artificially inoculated with local bunt populations. The virulence patterns of these inocula differed between locations and only 15% of the tested genotypes showed stable resistance across test sites. Number and weight of bunt sori relative to the total number and weight of wheat grains in sampled ears revealed that partial infections of ears were frequently appearing. Forty-two breeding lines harboring combinations of four different resistance QTL were developed through MAS. Out of these, a quarter were resistant with a maximum of 5% common bunt incidence. On the other hand, only six out of 46 tested commercial cultivars and breeding lines showed no infection with common bunt, underlining the present scarcity of bunt-resistant cultivars for organic wheat production. By this study we showed that MAS is a useful tool to speed up the selection of resistant lines even in populations with highly diverse genetic backgrounds, and that it is efficient in pyramiding resistance loci and thereby improving the level of resistance.

Abstract
The leaf blight diseases, Septoria nodorum blotch (SNB), and tan spot (TS) are emerging due to changing climatic conditions in the northern parts of India. We screened 296 bread wheat cultivars released in India over the past 20 years for seedling resistance against SNB (three experiments) and TS (two experiments). According to a genome-wide association study, six QTLs on chromosome arms 1BL, 2AS, 5BL, and 6BL were particularly significant for SNB across all three years, of which Q.CIM.snb.1BL, Q.CIM.snb.2AS1, Q.CIM.snb.2AS.2, and Q.CIM.snb.6BL appeared novel. In contrast, those on 5BS and 5BL may correspond to Snn3 and Tsn1, respectively. The allelic combination of tsn1/snn3 conferred resistance to SNB, whereas that of Tsn1/Snn3 conferred high susceptibility. As for TS, Tsn1 was the only stably significant locus identified in this panel. Several varieties like PBW 771, DBW 277, and HD 3319, were identified as highly resistant to both diseases that can be used in future wheat improvement programs as resistant donors.

Abstract
Autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic process in eukaryotic cells. Reactive nitrogen species play roles as inductors and signaling molecules of autophagy. A key mechanism of NO-mediated signaling is S-nitrosylation, a post-translational modification (PTM) of proteins at cysteine residues. In the present work, we analyzed the patterns of protein S-nitrosylation during the induction of autophagy in Triticum aestivum roots. The accumulation of S-nitrosylated proteins in the cells during autophagy induced with KNO2 and antimycin A was visualized using monoclonal antibodies with a Western blot analysis, and proteins were identified using a standard bottom-up proteomics approach. Protein S-nitrosylation is a labile and reversible PTM, and therefore the SNO group can be lost during experimental procedures. A subsequent bioinformatic analysis using predictive algorithms and protein-ligand docking showed that identified proteins possess hypothetical S-nitrosylation sites. Analyzing protein-protein interaction networks enabled us to discover the targets that can directly interact with autophagic proteins, and those that can interact with them indirectly via key multifunctional regulatory proteins. In this study, we show that S-nitrosylation is a key mechanism of NO-mediated regulation of autophagy in wheat roots. A combination of in silico predictive algorithms with a mass spectrometry analysis provides a targeted approach for the identification of S-nitrosylated proteins.

Abstract
Over the last decade, the significance of yellow rust caused by Puccinia striiformis (Pst) has substantially increased worldwide, including in Russia. The development and cultivation of resistant genotypes is the most efficient control method. The present study was conducted to explore the yellow rust resistance potential of modern common winter wheat cultivars included in the Russian Register of Breeding Achievements in 2019-2022 using the seedling tests with an array of Pst races and molecular markers linked with Yr resistance genes. Seventy-two winter wheat cultivars were inoculated with five Pst isolates differing in virulence and origin. Molecular markers were used to identify genes Yr2, Yr5, Yr7, Yr9, Yr10, Yr15, Yr17, Yr18, Yr24, Yr25 and Yr60. Thirteen cultivars were resistant to all Pst isolates. The genes Yr5, Yr10, Yr15 and Yr24 that are effective against all Russian Pst races in resistant cultivars were not found. Using molecular methods, gene Yr9 located in translocation 1BL.1RS was detected in 12 cultivars, gene Yr18 in 24, gene Yr17 in 3 and 1AL.1RS translocation with unknown Yr gene in 2. While these genes have lost effectiveness individually, they can still enhance genetic diversity and overall yellow rust resistance, whether used in combination with each other or alongside other Yr genes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Climate changes associated with global warming are increasingly affecting the quality of cultivated crops. Cultivation at different altitudes and similar latitudes may offer an extraordinarily useful opportunity to obtain a diversificated dataset of climate variables and to further investigate their effect on crop quality. This study evaluated the effect of climate indices - temperature, rainfall precipitation and solar radiation data - on commercial parameters and the volatile organic compound (VOC) profile of wheat at harvest. RESULTS Three common and durum wheat varieties, including two heritage wheats, were sown in experimental fields sited at three altitudes for 3 years consecutively, and they were analyzed for their yield, grading parameters, and VOC profiles. The datasets were processed by partial least squares regression (PLS-R) and the results indicate that summer days (SU25) and diurnal temperature range (ΔT) are the climate indices mainly responsible for the VOC profile changes in both common and durum wheat. Accumulated growth degree days (GDD), consecutive dry days (CDD), and accumulated solar radiation (ASR) induced species-specific responses. Terpenes represented the chemical class of VOCs most affected by stresses, followed by ketones and alcohols, which were affected by CDD, GDD, and ASR. CONCLUSION This study showed a selective response of wheat to abiotic stresses associated with climate variables in terms of VOC synthesis. Its findings may be relevant in several fields, from plant ecology to agronomy and food quality, with implications for local economic strategies. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Powdery mildew caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici is a threat to wheat production in China. Mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to powdery mildew and developing breeder-friendly markers are important initial steps in breeding resistant cultivars. An all-stage resistance gene and several QTL were identified using a population of 254 recombinant inbred lines developed from a Jingdong 8/Aikang 58 cross. The population was evaluated for powdery mildew resistance across six field environments over three consecutive growing seasons utilizing two different mixtures of B. graminis f. sp. tritici isolates, named #Bgt-HB and #Bgt-BJ. Using genotypic data obtained from the Wheat TraitBreed 50K single-nucleotide polymorphism array, seven stable QTL were identified on chromosome arms 1DL, 2AL, 2DS, 4DL, 5AL, 6BL.1, and 6BL.2. The QTL on 2AL conferred all-stage resistance to B. graminis f. sp. tritici race E20 in greenhouse tests and explained up to 52% of the phenotypic variance in field trials but was resistant only against #Bgt-HB. The gene involved in this QTL was predicted to be Pm4a based on genome location and gene sequence. QPmja.caas-1DL, QPmja.caas-4DL, and QPmja.caas-6BL.1 were identified as potentially new QTL for powdery mildew resistance. QPmja.caas-2DS and QPmja.caas-6BL.1 were effective against both B. graminis f. sp. tritici mixtures, indicating their probable broad-spectrum resistance. A Kompetitive allele-specific PCR marker closely linked to QPmja.caas-2DS was developed and validated in a panel of 286 wheat cultivars. Because both Jingdong 8 and Aikang 58 have been leading cultivars and breeding parents, the QTL and marker reported represent valuable resources for wheat researchers and breeders.

Abstract
Wild and domesticated emmer (ВВАА, 2n = 28) are of significant interest for expanding the genetic diversity of common wheat as sources of a high protein and microelement grain content, resistance to many biotic and abiotic factors. Particular interest in these species is also determined by their close relationship with Triticum aestivum L., which facilitates interspecific hybridization. The objective of this work was to analyze the nature of alien introgressions in hybrid lines from crossing common wheat varieties with T. dicoccoides and T. dicoccum, and to assess the effect of their genome fragments on the cytological stability of introgression lines. A C-banding technique and genotyping with SNP and SSR markers were used to determine localization and length of introgression fragments. Assessment of cytological stability was carried out on the basis of chromosome behavior in microsporogenesis. A molecular cytogenetic analysis of introgression wheat lines indicated that the inclusion of the genetic material of wild and domesticated emmer was carried out mainly in the form of whole arms or large fragments in the chromosomes of the B genome and less extended inserts in the A genome. At the same time, the highest frequency of introgressions of the emmer genome was observed in chromosomes 1A, 1B, 2B, and 3B. The analysis of the final stage of meiosis showed a high level of cytological stability in the vast majority of introgression wheat lines (meiotic index was 83.0-99.0 %), which ensures the formation of functional gametes in an amount sufficient for successful reproduction. These lines are of interest for the selection of promising material with agronomically valuable traits and their subsequent inclusion in the breeding process.

Abstract
Wheat is cultivated worldwide and is the most widely distributed food crop. Wheat is a staple crop in many countries. However, the effects of various cultivation methods on the efficacy of wheat sprouts have not been determined. This study investigated wheat sprouts obtained using a standardized smart farm system (WS-S) to improve the effects of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and molecular mechanism. Wheat sprouts significantly attenuated the accumulation of lipid droplets in FFA-induced HepG2 cells through AMPK pathway activity. In vivo experiments showed that WS-S significantly lowered body weight gain and decreased adipose tissue, lipid, aspartate transaminase, and alanine aminotransferase levels in HFD/F-treated mice. Furthermore, WS-S stimulated the phosphorylation of ACC and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha via the AMPK pathway and inhibited SREBP-1/FAS signaling to inhibit de novo adipogenesis and increase fatty acid oxidation. These results suggest that WS-S ameliorates NAFLD by regulating fatty acid metabolism via the AMPK pathway.
