About this Research Topic
With ever growing human population and dramatic climate changes, continuous increases in grain yield are required to ensure global food security. The priorities for Triticeae crops (wheat, barley, rye, oat and Triticale etc.) are high grain yield, desirable quality, disease resistance and tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the traditional breeding technology requires a long time cycle and high cost, which confers a breeding bottleneck. In recent years, the rise of genomics-enabled breeding provides a new breakthrough in crop improvement, combining elite genes accurately and efficiently. Based on breeding goals, integrating high-throughput genotyping, phenotyping, gene editing and other technologies to optimize various factors in the breeding process will help screen desirable genotypes and select parents and offspring. Thus, identifying genes and dissecting the mechanisms of yield, quality, resistance and tolerance are vital for genomics-enabled breeding in triticeae crops.
Regarding the topic of the special issue, our goal is to use genetics, biochemistry, gene editing, and multi-omics approaches to investigate the genetic basis and molecular regulatory networks of yield, quality (nutritional quality and processing quality), disease resistance, biotic and abiotic tolerance of Triticeae crops, promoting genomics-enabled Triticeae improvement and serving human nutrition and health.
In this Research Topic aiming at promoting gene mining and genomics-enabled breeding for Triticeae crops, we welcome submissions of Original Research, Methods, Review, Mini Review, Perspective, and Opinion articles, including but not limited to the following areas: 1. Insights into the functional components of crop grains
2. Dissecting the genetic basis of yield, quality, resistance and tolerance using QTL mapping, GWAS, multi-omics, and other approaches.
3. Identification of key genes or proteins and their regulatory mechanism for yield, quality, resistance and tolerance.
4. Marker-assisted selection, genomic selection, machine learning and prediction modeling for yield, quality, resistance and tolerance.
5. Gene editing, transgenic and other new methods and technologies applied to genomics-enabled breeding in Triticeae crops.
6. Practical application of genomics-enabled breeding in Triticeae crops.
