🌾💧 RESEARCH 💧🌾 Contrasting wheat genotypes show heritable drought stress memory, with differential expression of transcripts linked to histone modification in seeds potentially priming stress-responsive genes for subsequent drought - Kambona et al. 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪
Fig. 1.Schematic illustration of the experimental setup showing treatments applied across three consecutive generations (G1, G2, and G3) of winter wheat. In each generation, plants were grown under either well-watered conditions (C) or drought conditions (D). Drought history consists of chronological C or D labels that indicate the treatment applied in each generation, while the numbers 1, 2, and 3 denote the grandparental, parental, and offspring generations, respectively. The design generated plants with no drought history (C1C2C3), one-time drought exposure in different generations (D1C2C3, C1D2C3, C1C2D3), consecutive drought stress over two or three generations (D1D2C3, C1D2D3, D1D2D3), and intermittent drought stress (D1C2D3).

Climate change-driven abiotic stresses pose significant threats to global agricultural productivity by reducing crop yields and challenging food security and economic stability. Recent innovations in genomics-assisted breeding (GAB) tools, gene editing, high-throughput phenotyping and artificial intelligence propose fast-forward solutions to alleviate these challenges. Significant advances in GAB, including genome-wide association studies, genomic selection, pangenomics and haplotype-based mapping, have facilitated the identification of key genes, markers and stress-responsive pathways underlying multiple stress tolerance. Integrating GAB with modern breeding methods facilitates the discovery of stress-smart traits, while artificial intelligence-driven models boost the precision of crop improvement efforts. Moreover, combining speed breeding protocols with genomic selection pipelines fast-tracks genetic gains, particularly under controlled stress settings. Therefore, this chapter briefly highlights the economic and agricultural impacts of abiotic stresses and investigates an innovative roadmap of GAB tools for designing stress-smart future crops. By leveraging these tools, biotechnologists or breeders can enhance crop productivity and tolerance against single and combined abiotic stresses.
