Agricultural soils are under threat of toxic metal/metalloid contamination from anthropogenic
activities, leading to excessive accumulation of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and …

Plants take up a wide range of trace metals/metalloids (hereinafter referred to as trace
metals) from the soil, some of which are essential but become toxic at high concentrations …

Background The rhizosphere microbiome, which is shaped by host genotypes, root
exudates, and plant domestication, is crucial for sustaining agricultural plant growth. Despite …

Advances in genomics have expedited the improvement of several agriculturally important
crops but similar efforts in wheat (Triticum spp.) have been more challenging. This is largely …

Until recently, achieving a reference‐quality genome sequence for bread wheat was long
thought beyond the limits of genome sequencing and assembly technology, primarily due to …

Sequence assembly of large and repeat-rich plant genomes has been challenging,
requiring substantial computational resources and often several complementary sequence …

Crop wild relatives offer natural variations of disease resistance for crop improvement. Here,
