“…Quantifying the effect sizes on the multi-environment performance of loci at genomic scales can better inform genomic selection and the selection of markers that are associated with desirable traits to accelerate the breeding process. Moreover, variants with strong associations to traits and a clear functional effect of the candidate genes can inform applications of gene editing technologies like CRISPR/Cas9, to rapidly deploy desirable drought tolerance alleles in trees with other agronomically desirable traits (Ahmed et al, 2021; Maharajan et al, 2022; Nascimento et al, 2023).…”

The emerging bioeconomy offers significant potential to replace fossil-fuel-based energy, manufacturing, and processing with that utilizing biomass as the raw feedstock. However, feedstock production from non-food crops such as fast-growing trees, must be delivered at scale, in a reliable and consistent manner, utilizing marginal land unsuitable for food crops and with minimum inputs. This new generation of feedstock crops has a limited history of domestication. Foundational knowledge is required to enable rapid selection and breeding for improved cultivars and varieties to enable large-scale planting of 600M ha, globally over the coming decades. Here, we describe an innovative field platform with over 1,000 unique genotypes of fast-growing poplar (Populus trichocarpa) trees, each sequenced and being subjected to a controlled drought. The 6.5 ha site provides opportunities to bring together multi-disciplinary phenotyping science linked to computational, and AI approaches, enabling the link between complex plant traits and their underlying genes to be rapidly established and translated into the development of improved climate-resilient germplasm for a future at-scale bioeconomy.

“…Biotic stress in crops, such as pathogens and weeds, refers to the adverse impact of living organisms on plant health and productivity. In recent years, the utilization of CRISPR-Cas technology has been associated with substantial improvements in plant traits by modifying gene regulation to enhance various biotic resistance traits (Ghosh and Dey 2022; Maharajan et al 2022 ).…”

Genome-editing technologies have revolutionized research in plant biology, with major implications for agriculture and worldwide food security, particularly in the face of challenges such as climate change and increasing human populations. Among these technologies, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats [CRISPR]–CRISPR-associated protein [Cas] systems are now widely used for editing crop plant genomes. In this review, we provide an overview of CRISPR–Cas technology and its most significant applications for improving crop sustainability. We also review current and potential technological advances that will aid in the future breeding of crops to enhance food security worldwide. Finally, we discuss the obstacles and challenges that must be overcome to realize the maximum potential of genome-editing technologies for future crop and food production.

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple food for more than half of the global population. Various abiotic and biotic stresses lead to accumulation of reactive oxygen species in rice, which damage macromolecules and signaling pathways. Rice has evolved a variety of antioxidant systems, including glutaredoxin (GRX), that protect against various stressors. A total of 48 GRX gene loci have been identified on 11 of the 12 chromosomes of the rice genome; none were found on chromosome 9. GRX proteins were classified into four categories according to their active sites: CPYC, CGFS, CC, and GRL. In this paper, we summarized the recent research advances regarding the roles of GRX in rice development regulation and response to stresses, and discussed future research perspectives related to rice production. This review could provide information for rice researchers on the current status of the GRX and serve as guidance for breeding superior varieties.
