Reap the crop wild relatives for breeding future crops

Abhishek Bohra et al.

Summary: Crop wild relatives (CWRs) have played a crucial role in providing important traits or genes for crop improvement and global agricultural production. Advances in breeding, genomics, and gene-editing tools have accelerated the identification and transformation of CWRs into future ideal crops. Data-driven germplasm collection and management strategies, along with policy support, are equally important for improving access to CWRs and ensuring their sustainable use in meeting food and nutrition security targets.

Genomic insights into the genetic signatures of selection and seed trait loci in cultivated peanut

Yiyang Liu et al.

Summary: By analyzing the resequencing data of 203 cultivated peanuts, we revealed the genetic diversity and evolutionary history of peanuts. We found that the population structure of cultivated peanuts is consistent with their botanical classification, and the var. peruviana may be the earliest variant. Cultivated peanuts experienced a sudden expansion in population size compared to landraces and cultivars. Two genes associated with seed traits were identified through functional analysis.

The genetics and physiology of seed dormancy, a crucial trait in common bean domestication

Ali Soltani et al.

Summary: This study identified the physiological mechanism of physical seed dormancy in common bean and identified a candidate allele causing variation in this trait. The results suggest that a 5-bp insertion in an ortholog of pectin acetylesterase 8 is likely a major causative mutation underlying the loss of seed dormancy during domestication. Confirmation through transgenic approaches may be necessary to further validate these findings.

Pod indehiscence in common bean is associated with the fine regulation of PvMYB26

Valerio Di Vittori et al.

Summary: Through gene expression and histological analysis of dehiscent and indehiscent pods, a potential candidate gene controlling pod indehiscence was identified. Pod shattering is associated with the lack of a functional abscission layer in the ventral sheath, and key anatomical modifications related to pod shattering occur early in pod development. Loss of pod shattering in legumes is proposed to result from histological convergent evolution and selection at orthologous loci.

Domestication of Crop Metabolomes: Desired and Unintended Consequences

Saleh Alseekh et al.

Summary: Most crops and vegetables today were domesticated from their wild ancestors in the last 12,000 years. Research has focused on identifying the genes undergoing positive and negative selection during crop domestication and improvement. Studies have shown changes in metabolite contents due to human selection, but the full extent of metabolic consequences of breeding is still being uncovered. The shaping of crop metabolomes through domestication processes has potential implications for metabolite engineering in wild relatives of crops.

De novo super-early progeny in interspecific crosses Pisum sativum L. x P. fulvum Sibth. et Sm

Hatice Sari et al.

Summary: This study revealed the potential of de novo super-early progeny to be significantly earlier than common pea varieties, with a high level of heritability for early flowering and pod setting. These progeny are able to grow under heat stress conditions and are free from undesired traits from wild species. Interspecific crosses between pea species show promise for creating transgressive segregations, offering valuable insights into the importance of wild species in crop improvement.

Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies Genomic Regions for Important Morpho-Agronomic Traits in Mesoamerican Common Bean

Jessica Delfini et al.

Summary: This research aimed to identify Quantitative Trait Nucleotides (QTNs) associated with common bean productivity by evaluating ten morpho-agronomic traits in 178 Mesoamerican common bean domesticated accessions. They identified 64 stable QTNs detected by multiple methods or in multiple environments, with 39 showing significant phenotypic differences between their alleles. The accumulation of favorable alleles resulted in reduced plant height and increased nodules, seed weight, yield, pod insertion height, and number of pods per plant.

Evaluation of Seed Dormancy, One of the Key Domestication Traits in Chickpea

Veronika Sedlakova et al.

Summary: The domestication process of legume seeds has resulted in altered dormancy patterns, leading to faster and more uniform germination compared to wild progenitors. By studying the physiological and anatomical aspects of seed dormancy, significant differences were observed between cultivated chickpeas and wild progenitors, providing insights into potential molecular mechanisms of seed dormancy in chickpeas.

Pod shattering in grain legumes: emerging genetic and environment-related patterns

Travis A. Parker et al.

Summary: Reduction in pod shattering is crucial for grain legume domestication, but many domesticated legumes still suffer yield losses under arid conditions. Mutations related to pod shattering affect twisting force or structural strength, often controlled by a small number of key genes across different legume species. Understanding pod-shattering related functional information is essential for breeding crops suited to future arid conditions.
