Abstract
With the rapid progression of agricultural informatization technology, the methodologies of crop monitoring based on spectral technology are constantly upgraded. In order to carry out the efficient, precise and nondestructive detection of relative chlorophyll (SPAD) during the booting stage, we acquired hyperspectral reflectance data about spring wheat vertical distribution and adopted the fractional-order differential to transform the raw spectral data. After that, based on correlation analysis, fractional differential spectra and fractional differential spectral indices with strong correlation with SPAD were screened and fused. Then, the least-squares support vector machine (LSSSVM) and the least-squares support vector machine (SMA-LSSSVM) optimized on the slime mold algorithm were applied to construct the estimation models of SPAD, and the model accuracy was assessed to screen the optimal estimation models. The results showed that the 0.4 order fractional-order differential spectra had the highest correlation with SPAD, which was 9.3% higher than the maximum correlation coefficient of the original spectra; the constructed two-band differential spectral indices were more sensitive to SPAD than the single differential spectra, in which the correlation reached the highest level of 0.724. The SMA-LSSSVM model constructed based on the two-band fractional-order differential spectral indices was better than the single differential spectra and the integration of both, which realized the assessment of wheat SPAD.

Abstract
Cultivating wheat (Triticum aestivum) in a closed environment offers applications in both indoor farming and in outer-space farming. Tailoring the photoperiod holds potential to shorten the growth cycle, thereby increasing the annual number of cycles. As wheat is a long-day plant, a night shorter than a critical length is required to induce flowering. In growth chambers, experiments were conducted to examine the impact of a 6 h light-dark cycle on the timing of wheat ear emergence, grain yield, and flour quality. Under equal daily light-integral conditions, the 6 h light-dark cycle promoted growth and development, resulting in accelerated ear emergence when compared to a 12 h cycle, additionally indicating that 12 h of darkness was excessive. To further stimulate heading and increase yield, the 6 h cycle was changed at the onset of stem elongation to a 14 h-10 h, mimicking spring conditions, and maintained until maturity. This successful transition was then combined with two levels of light intensity and nutrient solution, which did not significantly impact yield, while tillering and grain ripening did increase under higher light intensities. Moreover, it enabled manipulation of the baking quality, although lower-end falling numbers were observed. In conclusion, combining a 6 h light-dark cycle until stem elongation with a 14 h-10 h cycle presents a promising strategy for increasing future wheat production in closed environments. The observation of low falling numbers underscores the importance of factoring in flour quality when designing the wheat-growing systems of the future.

Abstract
Wheat streak mosaic disease is caused by wheat streak mosaic virus (WSMV) and two other viruses and persistently limits wheat yields in the Great Plains region of the United States. Seed transmission of viruses is an important consideration in international movement and is important epidemiologically. Seed transmission of WSMV in wheat was first reported from Australia in 2005, but there is little data from United States cultivars on the rate of seed transmission. In 2018, mechanically inoculated winter and spring wheat cultivars were evaluated in Montana. We found differences in WSMV seed transmission rates between winter and spring wheat, with average transmission rates in spring wheat (3.1%) being five times higher compared to winter wheat (0.6%). Seed transmission rates in spring wheat were twice as high as the highest previously reported transmission rate for individual genotypes, 1.5%. The results from this study provide a strong argument for increasing the current testing of seed for breeding purposes prior to international movement when WSMV has been observed and caution against using grain from WSMV-infected fields as seed source because it can heighten the risk of wheat streak mosaic outbreaks.

Abstract
Drought is the most important natural disaster affecting crop growth and development. Crop rhizosphere microorganisms can affect crop growth and development, enhance the effective utilization of nutrients, and resist adversity and hazards. In this paper, six spring wheat varieties were used as research material in the dry farming area of the western foot of the Greater Khingan Mountains, and two kinds of water control treatments were carried out: dry shed rain prevention (DT) and regulated water replenishment (CK). Phenotypic traits, including physiological and biochemical indices, drought resistance gene expression, soil enzyme activity, soil nutrient content, and the responses of potential functional bacteria and fungi under drought stress, were systematically analyzed. The results showed that compared with the control (CK), the leaf wilting, drooping, and yellowing of six spring wheat varieties were enhanced under drought (DT) treatment. The plant height, fresh weight (FW), dry weight (DW), net photosynthetic rate (Pn) and stomatal conductance (Gs), soil total nitrogen (TN), microbial biomass carbon (MBC), microbial biomass nitrogen (MBN), microbial biomass phosphorus (MBP), organic carbon (SOC), and soil alkaline phosphatase (S-ALP) contents were significantly decreased, among which, FW, Gs and MBC decreased by more than 7.84%, 17.43% and 11.31%, respectively. By contrast, the soil total phosphorus (TP), total potassium (TK), and soil catalase (S-CAT) contents were significantly increased (p < 0.05). TaWdreb2 and TaBADHb genes were highly expressed in T.D40, T.L36, and T.L33 and were expressed at low levels in T.N2, T.B12, and T.F5. Among them, the relative expression of the TaWdreb2 gene in T.L36 was significantly increased by 2.683 times compared with CK. Soil TN and TP are the most sensitive to drought stress and can be used as the characteristic values of drought stress. Based on this, a drought-tolerant variety (T.L36) and a drought-sensitive variety (T.B12) were selected to further analyze the changes in rhizosphere microorganisms. Drought treatment and cultivar differences significantly affected the composition of the rhizosphere microbial community. Drought caused a decrease in the complexity of the rhizosphere microbial network, and the structure of bacteria was more complex than that of fungi. The Shannon index and network modular number of bacteria in these varieties (T.L36) increased, with rich small-world network properties. Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, Firmicutes, Basidiomycota, and Ascomycota were the dominant bacteria under drought treatment. The beneficial bacteria Bacillus, Penicillium, and Blastococcus were enriched in the rhizosphere of T.L36. Brevibacillus and Glycomyce were enriched in the rhizosphere of T.B12. In general, drought can inhibit the growth and development of spring wheat, and spring wheat can resist drought hazards by regulating the expression of drought-related genes, regulating physiological metabolites, and enriching beneficial microorganisms.

Abstract
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is a foliar disease that affects both winter and spring wheat crops in Xinjiang, China, which is linked to Central Asia. Race identification of Pst from spring wheat in Xinjiang was not done before. In this study, a total of 216 isolates were recovered from stripe rust samples of spring wheat in the region in 2021 and multiplied using the susceptible cultivar Mingxian 169. These isolates were tested on the Chinese set of 19 wheat differential lines for identifying Pst races. A total of 46 races were identified. Races Suwon-11-1, Suwon11-12, and CYR32 had high frequencies in the spring wheat region. The frequencies of virulence factors on differentials "Fulhard" and "Early Premium" were high (>95%), whereas the virulence factor to differential "Triticum spelta var. Album" (Yr5) was not detected, while virulence to other differentials showed variable frequency within different counties. The predominant races in winter wheat in the same season were also detected from spring wheat cultivars, indicating Pst spreading from winter wheat to spring wheat crops. Deploying resistance genes in spring and winter wheat cultivars is critical for control stripe rust.

Abstract
Drought is the most prevalent environmental stress in crop production, posing a significant danger to food security. Microorganisms in the crop root zone affect crop growth and development, enhance effective nutrient use, and resist adversity hazards. To analyze the changes and functional differences of root space microbial (endosphere-rhizosphere-bulk soil) communities in spring wheat under drought stress. In this study, the root, rhizosphere, and bulk soil of the drought-tolerant group (DTG, three varieties) and drought-sensitive group (DSG, three varieties) were collected. The control (CK, 25-28%), moderate drought (MD, 15-18%), and severe drought (SD, 9-12%) were analyzed by high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics. The results showed significant differences in the diversity of Bacteria and Fungi in the root space of spring wheat under drought stress (P < 0.05), with the drought-tolerant group exhibiting higher microbial diversity. The microbial community change in spring wheat root space was mainly determined by the niche differentiation of endosphere, rhizosphere, and bulk soil and declined from endosphere to bulk soil due to drought. The antagonism between microbial and root-space species increased, and the community's complexity and stability deteriorated. Enriching drought-resistant preference groups like Actinobaciota, Variovorax, Streptomyces, and Conocybe altered the structure and function of the microbial community in the root space of spring wheat. Spring wheat's root space Bacteria and Fungi have different strategies to respond to drought.

Abstract
Increased populations of Heterodera avenae in southeastern Idaho are associated with increased planting of susceptible cereal cultivars and lack of crop rotation. Identifying high-yield, resistant spring wheat cultivars with tolerance requires testing new genotypes and susceptibility assessments of marketed cultivars. We conducted two experiments to determine whether cultivars with putative resistance could maintain acceptable yield in the presence of H. avenae. We also evaluated the tolerance response in relation to previously tested cultivars. Seven spring wheat cultivars were planted in two irrigated commercial fields that were naturally infested with high populations of H. avenae. Measures of resistance, tolerance, and grain yield were assessed in aldicarb-treated versus nontreated plots. In aldicarb-treated plots in both years, grain yield of the susceptible cultivars Snow Crest, WestBred 936, WB9411, Patwin-515, and WB9668 was significantly increased. The expected yield increase with aldicarb was limited for the moderately susceptible Expresso due to water stress. 'WB-Rockland', carrying the Cre5 resistance gene, maintained its standard yield, while none of the other cultivars in the experiment showed resistance or tolerance. Our results indicated that aldicarb improves wheat grain yield in irrigated crop production systems, and although removed from the market, it is effective and has utility for research. The results also support the hypothesis that high yield susceptible cultivars can mask the effect of H. avenae on grain yield when managed appropriately.

Abstract
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a highly destructive fungal disease of wheat to which host resistance is quantitatively inherited and largely influenced by the environment. Resistance to FHB has been associated with taller height and later maturity; however, a further understanding of these relationships is needed. An association mapping panel (AMP) of 192 predominantly Canadian spring wheat was genotyped with the wheat 90K single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. The AMP was assessed for FHB incidence (INC), severity (SEV) and index (IND), days to anthesis (DTA), and plant height (PLHT) between 2015 and 2017 at three Canadian FHB-inoculated nurseries. Seven multi-environment trial (MET) datasets were deployed in a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using a single-locus mixed linear model (MLM) and a multi-locus random SNP-effect mixed linear model (mrMLM). MLM detected four quantitative trait nucleotides (QTNs) for INC on chromosomes 2D and 3D and for SEV and IND on chromosome 3B. Further, mrMLM identified 291 QTNs: 50 (INC), 72 (SEV), 90 (IND), 41 (DTA), and 38 (PLHT). At two or more environments, 17 QTNs for FHB, DTA, and PLHT were detected. Of these 17, 12 QTNs were pleiotropic for FHB traits, DTA, and PLHT on chromosomes 1A, 1D, 2D, 3B, 5A, 6B, 7A, and 7B; two QTNs for DTA were detected on chromosomes 1B and 7A; and three PLHT QTNs were located on chromosomes 4B and 6B. The 1B DTA QTN and the three pleiotropic QTNs on chromosomes 1A, 3B, and 6B are potentially identical to corresponding quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in durum wheat. Further, the 3B pleiotropic QTN for FHB INC, SEV, and IND co-locates with TraesCS3B02G024900 within the Fhb1 region on chromosome 3B and is ~3 Mb from a cloned Fhb1 candidate gene TaHRC. While the PLHT QTN on chromosome 6B is putatively novel, the 1B DTA QTN co-locates with a disease resistance protein located ~10 Mb from a Flowering Locus T1-like gene TaFT3-B1, and the 7A DTA QTN is ~5 Mb away from a maturity QTL QMat.dms-7A.3 of another study. GWAS and QTN candidate genes enabled the characterization of FHB resistance in relation to DTA and PLHT. This approach should eventually generate additional and reliable trait-specific markers for breeding selection, in addition to providing useful information for FHB trait discovery.

Abstract
Accurately assessing the variation in the frost-free season (FFS) can provide decision support for improving agricultural adaptability and reducing frost harm; however, related studies were inadequate in terms of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). This study analyzed the spatiotemporal changes in the first frost day in autumn (FFA), last frost day in spring (LFS), FFS length and effective accumulated temperature (EAT) during the 1978-2017 period, and their influences on spring wheat potential yield on the QTP, based on daily climatic data and the methodology of Sen's slope and correlation analysis. The results showed that the annual average FFA and LFS occurred later and earlier from northwest to southeast, respectively, and both the FFS length and EAT increased. From 1978 to 2017, the average regional FFA and LFS were delayed and advanced at rates of 2.2 and 3.4 days per decade, and the FFS and EAT increased by 5.6 days and 102.7 °C·d per decade, respectively. Spatially, the increase rate of FFS length ranged from 2.8 to 11.2 days per decade throughout the QTP, and it was observed to be larger in northern Qinghai, central Tibet and Yunnan, and smaller mainly in eastern Sichuan and southern Tibet. Correspondingly, the increase rate for EAT ranged from 16.2 to 173.3 °C·d per decade and generally showed a downward trend from north to south. For a one-day increase in the FFS period, the spring wheat potential yield would decrease by 17.4 and 9.0 kg/ha in altitude ranges of <2000 m and 2000-3000 m, but decrease by 24.9 and 66.5 kg/ha in the ranges of 3000-4000 m and >4000 m, respectively. Future studies should be focused on exploring the influence of multiple climatic factors on crop production using experimental field data and model technologies to provide policy suggestions.

Abstract
Genotype (cultivar), soil and climatic conditions, the agrotechnology used, and the interaction of the factors mentioned play a key role in the yield and quality of wheat grain. Currently, the European Union recommends the balanced use of mineral fertilisers and plant protection products in agricultural production (integrated production) or the use of only natural production methods (organic production). The aim of the study was to compare the yield and grain quality of four spring common wheat cultivars Harenda, Kandela, Mandaryna, and Serenada, grown under three farming systems: organic (ORG), integrated (INT), and conventional (CONV). A three-year field experiment was conducted between 2019 and 2021 at the Osiny Experimental Station (Poland, 51°27' N; 22°2' E). The results showed that significantly the highest wheat grain yield (GY) was obtained at INT, while the lowest was obtained at ORG. The physicochemical and rheological characteristics of the grain were significantly influenced by the cultivar factor and, with the exception of 1000 grain weight (TGW) and ash content (AC), by the farming system. There were also numerous interactions between the cultivar and farming systems, which suggests different performances of cultivars and, in fact, that some cultivars are better or worse suited to different production systems. The exceptions were protein content (PC) and falling number (FN), which were significantly highest in grain with CONV and lowest in grain with ORG farming systems.

Abstract
In the field, plants usually have to face the combined effects of abiotic and biotic stresses. In our study, two spring wheat cultivars-Septima and Quintus-were subjected to three water regimes [70%, 50%, and 40% soil water capacity (SWC)], aphid (Metopolophium dirhodum) infestation, or the combination of both stresses, i.e., water deficit (50%, 40% SWC) and aphids. The study has a 2 × 3 × 2 factorial design with three biological replicates. In the present study, the results of proteomic analysis using 2D-DIGE followed by MALDI-TOF/TOF protein identification are presented. Water deficit but also aphid infestation led to alterations in 113 protein spots including proteins assigned to a variety of biological processes ranging from signaling via energy metabolism, redox regulation, and stress and defense responses to secondary metabolism indicating a long-term adaptation to adverse conditions. The absence of specific proteins involved in plant response to herbivorous insects indicates a loss of resistance to aphids in modern wheat cultivars during the breeding process and is in accordance with the "plant vigor hypothesis." Septima revealed enhanced tolerance with respect to Quintus as indicated by higher values of morphophysiological characteristics (fresh aboveground biomass, leaf length, osmotic potential per full water saturation) and relative abundance of proteins involved in mitochondrial respiration and ATP biosynthesis.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are mainly accumulated in soil. Plants secrete enzymes that transform or biodegrade PAHs in soil. Some plant species are more effective in stimulating the biodegradation of these pollutants than other species. This study was undertaken to evaluate the influence of crop rotation on PAH concentrations in soil. Four crops were grown in rotation: sugar beets, spring barley, maize, and spring wheat. Soil samples for the study were obtained from a long-term field experiment established in 1986 in Bałcyny, Poland. The concentrations of PAHs were analyzed in soil samples gathered over a period of 12 years (1998-2009). An attempt was made to evaluate the effect of crop rotation (sugar beets, spring barley, maize, and spring wheat) on PAH concentrations in soil. The content of PAHs in soil samples was measured by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection. Data were processed statistically by repeated measures ANOVA. The concentrations of ∑16 PAHs were lowest in soil after sugar beet cultivation, and highest in soil after maize cultivation. It can be concluded that maize was the plant with the greatest adverse effect on the content of heavy PAH in the soil, a completely different effect can be attributed to spring wheat, which has always been shown to reduce the content of heavy PAH in the soil. Weather conditions affected PAHs levels in soil, and PAH content was highest in soil samples collected in a year with the driest growing season. This arrangement suggests a greater influence of weather conditions than of the cultivated plant.

Abstract
Rational irrigation and nitrogen management strategies are crucial for wheat growth. However, the optimal amount of water and nitrogen for the newly developed drip irrigated spring wheat system (TR6S, one drip tube service for six rows of wheat, with a row spacing of 10 cm and an inter-block space of 25 cm, saves drip tubes and obtains higher profits) in dry and semi-arid areas remains unclear. Therefore, a field experiment was conducted with four nitrogen levels (300, 270, 240, and 0 kg ha-1 referred N300, N270, N240, and N0) and four irrigation levels (4500, 4200, 3900, and 3600 m3 ha-1 referred I4500, I4200, I3900, and I3600) during the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 spring wheat seasons to analyze the effects of irrigation (I) and nitrogen (N) levels on grain yield, water-nitrogen use efficiency, profit, biomass accumulation, and nitrogen nutrient absorption status under TR6S. Compared with the traditional irrigation and nitrogen management strategy (N300-I4500, as control), lesser irrigation and nitrogen supply (I<3979 m3 ha-1 and N<273 kg ha-1) saved cost but led to lower grain yield, water use efficiency (WUE), agronomic efficiency of nitrogen fertilizer (AEN), and profit. However, a moderate reduction in irrigation and nitrogen supply (4500 m3 ha-1>I>3979 m3 ha-1 and 300 kg ha-1 >N>273 kg ha-1) improved grain yield, WUE, AEN, and profit. The increase in grain yield was mainly related to the rise in 1000-grain weight and kernels per spike. Although the moderate reduction in irrigation lowered soil moisture status, the dry matter pre-stored in the vegetative organs before anthesis that gets redistributed into grains during grain filling was improved. Moreover, the moderate reduction in nitrogen supply resulted in a more reasonable nitrogen nutrition index (NNI) of wheat plant, which improved flag leaf area and chlorophyll relative content (SPAD) at the anthesis stage. This also played a positive role in biomass accumulation and redistributed, yield structure optimization. Considering comprehensively yield, WUE, AEN and profit, combination of 285 kg ha-1 N and 4170 m3 ha-1 I was optimal irrigation and nitrogen application pattern for TR6S. This strategy can be applied to other arid and semi-arid regions.

Abstract
The research object was the liquid protein hydrolysate “AGROMOREE” from the rainbow trout, which was provided by the company “Russian Aquaculture LLC”. The purpose of this study was the evaluation of the effect of the hydrolysate “AGROMOREE” as a biostimulant on the growth and yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Biometric indicators of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth were determined in the laboratory and in field tests. In the laboratory, the liquid concentrated hydrolysate was dried to facilitate its use. “AGROMOREE” promoted an increase in germination of 2–4% in all samples compared to the control samples, as well as an increase in the length and number of wheat roots. The biostimulant “AGROMOREE” was introduced in the soil in liquid form at about 3000 L/ha and 4000 L/ha in the field tests. This study showed that “ARGOMOREE” contributed to an increase in the length and quantity of wheat ears, the quantity of grains in the ear and the seed weight. At the same time, the quantity of productive stems increased, so that the biostimulant “AGROMOREE” increased the productivity by 3.9–6.3% with respect to the control sample. In general, using the biostimulant “AGROMOREE” on spring wheat seeds from 2019 in the growing season of 2021 provided an increase in yield from 0.21 t/ha to 0.28 t/ha. The maximum value of raw gluten content in the seed was 5.2%, higher than the content in the control. The content of the mass fraction of protein in the seed was in the range of 12.33–12.56%, i.e., 2% higher than that of the control sample. Thus, according to qualitative and quantitative indicators and the total productivity indicators, the biostimulant «AGROMOREE» can be used to increase wheat productivity and reduce the use of nitrogen fertilizers.

Abstract
Wheat as a staple food crop is the main source of micro- and macronutrients for most people of the world and is recognized as an attractive crop for biofortification. This study presents a comprehensive investigation of genomic regions governing grain micro- and macroelements concentrations in a panel of 135 diverse wheat accessions through a genome-wide association study. The genetic diversity panel was genotyped using the genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) method and phenotyped in two environments during 2017−2018. Wide ranges of variation in nutrient element concentrations in grain were detected among the accessions. Based on 33,808 high-quality single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), 2997 marker-element associations (MEAs) with −log10(p-value) > 3.5 were identified, representing all three subgenomes of wheat for 15-grain concentration elements. The highest numbers of MEAs were identified for Mg (499), followed by S (399), P (394), Ni (381), Cd (243), Ca (229), Mn (224), Zn (212), Sr (212), Cu (111), Rb (78), Fe (63), Mo (43), K (32) and Co (19). Further, MEAs associated with multiple elements and referred to as pleiotropic SNPs were identified for Mg, P, Cd, Mn, and Zn on chromosomes 1B, 2B, and 6B. Fifty MEAs were subjected to validation using KASIB multilocational trial at six sites in two years using 39 genotypes. Gene annotation of MEAs identified putative candidate genes that potentially encode different types of proteins related to disease, metal transportation, and metabolism. The MEAs identified in the present study could be potential targets for further validation and may be used in marker-assisted breeding to improve nutrient element concentrations in wheat grain.

Abstract
Increasing grain number through fine-tuning duration of the late reproductive phase (LRP; terminal spikelet to anthesis) without altering anthesis time has been proposed as a genetic strategy to increase yield potential (YP) of wheat. Here we conducted a modelling analysis to evaluate the potential of fine-tuning LRP in raising YP in irrigated mega-environments. Using the known optimal anthesis and sowing date of current elite benchmark genotypes, we applied a gene-based phenology model for long-term simulations of phenological stages and yield-related variables of all potential germplasm with the same duration to anthesis as the benchmark genotypes. These diverse genotypes had the same duration to anthesis but varying LRP duration. Lengthening LRP increased YP and harvest index by increasing grain number to some extent and an excessively long LRP reduced YP due to reduced time for canopy construction for high biomass production of pre-anthesis phase. The current elite genotypes could have their LRP extended for higher YP in most sites. Genotypes with a ratio of the duration of LRP to pre-anthesis phase of about 0.42 ensured high yields (≥95% of YP) with their optimal sowing and anthesis dates. Optimization of intermediate growth stages could be further evaluated in breeding programmes to improve YP.

Abstract
Nitrogen limitation is an important factor for the improvement of crop water production potential in rain-fed areas of the Loess Plateau. The reasonable deep application of nitrogen fertilizer is a promising method to increase yield of rain-fed crop. Based on APSIM model, this study simulated spring wheat yield under different nitrogen application rates and depths, by using meteorological observation data from 1990 to 2020 in the semiarid areas of central Gansu Province, aiming to provide theoretical reference for optimizing wheat fertilization strategy. The results showed that the determination coefficient of simulated spring wheat yield, biomass and soil water content in 0-200 cm soil profile was greater than 0.80, the normalized root mean square error was less than 0.2, and the model validity index was greater than 0.5. These results indicated that the model had good fitting and adaptability in the test area. Across all the levels within the experimental design, increasing nitrogen application rates could significantly increase the yield of spring wheat in different precipitation years, and increasing nitrogen application depth could significantly increase spring wheat yield in wet and normal years, but had no effect in dry years. The rate and depth of nitrogen application had significant interaction effects on spring wheat yield in wet and normal years, but not in dry years. According to the binary quadratic regression fitting equation, when the potential maximum yield reached 2749 kg·hm-2 in wet year, nitrogen application depth was 22.7 cm, and nitrogen application rate was 245 kg·hm-2. When the maximum potential yield reached 2596 kg·hm-2 in normal year, nitrogen application depth was 20.6 cm, and nitrogen application rate was 235 kg·hm-2. Integrating the effects of nitrogen application rate and depth on yield, biomass and agronomic efficiency of nitrogen fertilizer, and farmer's fertilizer application habits, the recommended nitrogen application depth was 20-23 cm, and nitrogen application amount was 120-150 kg·hm-2, which could further improve water productivity and nitrogen use efficiency of spring wheat in arid areas of central Gansu Province.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that can cause a variety of adverse effects on human health, including cancer. Wheat comprises approximately 20% of the human diet worldwide; therefore, reducing the concentrations of Cd in wheat grain will have significant impacts on the intake of Cd in food products. The tests for measuring the Cd content in grain are costly, and the content is affected significantly by soil pH. To facilitate breeding for low Cd content, this study sought to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) and associated molecular markers that can be used in molecular breeding. One spring wheat population of 181 doubled haploid lines (DHLs), which was derived from a cross between two hard white spring wheat cultivars "UI Platinum" (UIP) and "LCS Star" (LCS), was assessed for the Cd content in grain in multiple field trials in Southeast Idaho, United States. Three major QTL regions, namely, QCd.uia2-5B, QCd.uia2-7B, and QCd.uia2-7D, were identified on chromosomes 5B, 7B, and 7D, respectively. All genes in these three QTL regions were identified from the NCBI database. However, three genes related to the uptake and transport of Cd were used in the candidate gene analysis. The sequences of TraesCS5B02G388000 (TaHMA3) in the QCd.uia2-5B region and TraesCS7B02G320900 (TaHMA2) and TraesCS7B02G322900 (TaMSRMK3) in the QCd.uia2-7B region were compared between UIP and LCS. TaHMA2 on 7B is proposed for the first time as a candidate gene for grain Cd content in wheat. A KASP marker associated with this gene was developed and it will be further validated in near-isogenic lines via a gene-editing system in future studies.

Abstract
Flooding affects both above- and below-ground ecosystem processes, and it represents a substantial threat for crop and cereal productivity under climate change. Plant-associated microbiota play a crucial role in plant growth and fitness, but we still have a limited understanding of the response of the crop-microbiota complex under extreme weather events, such as flooding. Soil microbes are highly sensitive to abiotic disturbance, and shifts in microbial community composition, structure and functions are expected when soil conditions are altered due to flooding events (e.g., anoxia, pH alteration, changes in nutrient concentration). Here, we established a pot experiment to determine the effects of flooding stress on the spring wheat-microbiota complex. Since plant phenology could be an important factor in the response to hydrological stress, flooding was induced only once and at different plant growth stages (PGSs), such as tillering, booting and flowering. After each flooding event, we measured in the control and flooded pots several edaphic and plant properties and characterized the bacterial community associated to the rhizosphere and roots of wheat plant using a metabarcoding approach. In our study, flooding caused a significant reduction in plant development and we observed dramatic shifts in bacterial community composition at each PGS in which the hydrological stress was induced. However, a more pronounced disruption in community assembly was always shown in younger plants. Generally, flooding caused a (i) significant increase of bacterial taxa with anaerobic respiratory capabilities, such as members of Firmicutes and Desulfobacterota, (ii) a significant reduction in Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria, (iii) depletion of several putative plant-beneficial taxa, and (iv) increases of the abundance of potential detrimental bacteria. These significant differences in community composition between flooded and control samples were correlated with changes in soil conditions and plant properties caused by the hydrological stress, with pH and total N as the soil, and S, Na, Mn, and Ca concentrations as the root properties most influencing microbial assemblage in the wheat mircobiota under flooding stress. Collectively, our findings demonstrated the role of flooding on restructuring the spring wheat microbiota, and highlighted the detrimental effect of this hydrological stress on plant fitness and performance.

Abstract
To maximize the grain yield of spring wheat, flowering needs to coincide with the optimal flowering period (OFP) by minimizing frost and heat stress on reproductive development. This global study conducted a comprehensive modelling analysis of genotype, environment, and management to identify the OFPs for sites in irrigated mega-environments of spring wheat where the crop matures during a period of increasing temperatures. We used a gene-based phenology model to conduct long-term simulation analysis with parameterized genotypes to identify OFPs and optimal sowing dates for sites in irrigated mega-environments, considering the impacts of frost and heat stress on yield. The validation results showed that the gene-based model accurately predicted wheat heading dates across global wheat environments. The long-term simulations indicated that frost and heat stress significantly advanced or delayed OFPs and shrank the durations of OFPs in irrigated mega-environments when compared with OFPs where the model excluded frost and heat stress impacts. The simulation results (incorporating frost and heat penalties on yield) also showed that earlier flowering generally resulted in higher yields, and early sowing dates and/or early flowering genotypes were suggested to achieve early flowering. These results provided an interpretation of the regulation of wheat flowering to the OFP by the selection of sowing date and cultivar to achieve higher yields in irrigated mega-environments.

Abstract
We examined the effects of long-term no-tillage sowing with crop stubbles on seedling emergence quality and yield of spring wheat under the three typical spring wheat planting modes of single wheat, wheat-corn intercropping and wheat-soybean intercropping in a long-term field experiment in Hexi oasis irrigated area, aiming to provide theoretical support for the efficient and sustai-nable production of spring wheat. The results showed that, compared with traditional tillage, no-tillage sowing with crop stubbles significantly decreased seedling emergence rate and emergence evenness of spring wheat in wheat-corn intercropping and wheat-soybean intercropping by 3.3%-8.6%, 9.6%-20.5%, 2.9%-8.8%, and 10.7%-61.7%, respectively. Emergence evenness was significantly increased by 14.9% in 2019, while seedling emergence rate was significantly decreased by 4.2% in 2020 under the mode of single wheat compared with traditional tillage. Seedling uniformity of spring wheat seedling stage were reduced under the three typical planting modes, including single wheat, wheat-corn intercropping and wheat-soybean intercropping. Spike number of spring wheat were equal to that of traditional tillage at harvest under the three planting modes of no-tillage sowing with crop stubbles, and the differences were not significant. Effects of seedling emergence rate of spring wheat on yield was weakened by increasing grain number per spike and 1000-grain weight of spring wheat under the three planting modes. Grain yield was significantly increased by 10.3%-12.9% (single wheat), 10.5%-11.9% (wheat-corn intercropping), and 10.3%-22.5% (wheat-soybean intercropping) at harvest, respectively. Our results indicated that no-tillage sowing with crop stubbles was the feasible tillage mode in the production process of spring wheat in Hexi oasis irrigation area with extremely serious farmland wind erosion degradation.

Abstract
Simple Summary Unmasking the overall endophytic bacteria communities from wheat grains may help to identify and describe the microbial colonization of bread and emmer varieties, their link to the bioactive compounds produced, and their possible role in mineral nutrition. The possibility of using microorganisms to improve the microelemental composition of grain is an important food security concern, as approximately one-third of the human population experiences latent starvation caused by Fe (anemia), Zn, or Cu deficiency. Four wheat varieties from T. aestivum L. and T. turgidum subsp. dicoccum were grown in field conditions with low bioavailability of microelements in the soil. Varietal differences in the yield, yield characteristics, and the grain micronutrient concentrations were compared with the endophytic bacteria isolated from the grains. Twelve different bacterial isolates were obtained that represented the genera Staphylococcus, Pantoea, Sphingobium, Bacillus, Kosakonia, and Micrococcus. All studied strains were able to synthesize indole-related compounds (IRCs) with phytohormonal activity. IRCs produced by the bacterial genera Pantoea spp. and Bacillus spp. isolated from high-yielding Oksamyt myronivs’kyi and Holikovs’ka grains may be considered as one of the determinants of the yield of wheat and its nutritional characteristics. Abstract Wheat grains are usually low in essential micronutrients. In resolving the problem of grain micronutritional quality, microbe-based technologies, including bacterial endophytes, seem to be promising. Thus, we aimed to (1) isolate and identify grain endophytic bacteria from selected spring wheat varieties (bread Oksamyt myronivs’kyi, Struna myronivs’ka, Dubravka, and emmer Holikovs’ka), which were all grown in field conditions with low bioavailability of microelements, and (2) evaluate the relationship between endophytes’ abilities to synthesize auxins and the concentration of Fe, Zn, and Cu in grains. The calculated biological accumulation factor (BAF) allowed for comparing the varietal ability to uptake and transport micronutrients to the grains. For the first time, bacterial endophytes were isolated from grains of emmer wheat T. turgidum subsp. dicoccum. Generally, the 12 different isolates identified in the four varieties belonged to the genera Staphylococcus, Pantoea, Sphingobium, Bacillus, Kosakonia, and Micrococcus (NCBI accession numbers: MT302194—MT302204, MT312840). All the studied strains were able to synthesize the indole-related compounds (IRCs; max: 16.57 µg∙mL−1) detected using the Salkowski reagent. The IRCs produced by the bacterial genera Pantoea spp. and Bacillus spp. isolated from high-yielding Oksamyt myronivs’kyi and Holikovs’ka grains may be considered as one of the determinants of the yield of wheat and its nutritional characteristics.

Abstract
Wireworms are destructive soil inhabiting polyphagous pests in the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain region of the United States. Continuously increasing wireworm populations and damage in small grain crops such as spring wheat in Northern Great Plains has become a challenge for growers. Due to unavailability of effective control measures, alternative methods, including biological control agents such as entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are needed. Native/indigenous EPN species are expected to have better potential than exotic species to control the local insect pests. Two Montana native EPN species (Steinernema feltiae and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora) were tested against, Limonius californicus (Coleoptera: Elateridae) in laboratory and shade house studies. In the laboratory bioassay, two isolates of S. feltiae at the rate of 28,000 IJs/five larvae killed 48-50% of the insects within 4 wk. Heterorhabditis bacteriophora was not able to cause >30% L. californicus larval mortality. None of the two isolates of S. feltiae performed well against L. californicus when tested in different soil types. Similarly, two isolates of S. feltiae that were tested killed only 20-25% wireworms in a shade house trial that did not differ significantly from the control treatment. Four weeks after EPN treatment in the shade house trial, the percentage of wheat plant damage from L. californicus ranged from 30 to 40% in the presence of S. felitae, not differing statistically from control. These results suggest that S. felitae have limited potential in managing wireworm populations.

Abstract
The relieving of drought and cold restriction on spring wheat development is one of the key factors increasing wheat yield in arid areas of central Gansu Province. A field experiment with spring wheat (Longchun No. 35) was carried out in central Gansu Province from 2016 to 2018. There were three treatments: 1) micro-ridge-furrow with whole field plastic mulching and bunching seeding (PRF), 2) whole field soil plastic mulching and bunching seeding (PMS), 3) bunching seeding without mulching (CK). We measured soil temperature in 0-25 cm profile, soil water content in 0-300 cm profile, leaf SPAD, photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, aboveground biomass in different growth stages, and grain yield to understand the effect of PRF on soil hydrothermal environment, spring wheat yield and water use efficiency (WUE) from the aspect of soil hydrothermal, canopy development and grain yield. The results showed that mean soil temperature in 0-25 cm profile of PRF and PMS increased by 2.8 ℃ and 2.5 ℃ at the seedling stage, decreased by 1.4 ℃ and 0.9 ℃ from filling to maturity stage, respectively. Soil water storage in 0-300 cm profile of PRF and PMS increased by 59.7 mm and 41.8 mm from sowing to seedling stage. Water consumption of PRF and PMS increased by 46.1 mm and 39.8 mm from seedling to filling stage. PRF increased average soil temperature in 0-25 cm profile by 0.3 ℃ at seedling stage, but decreased by 0.5 ℃ from filling to maturity stage, and increased soil water storage in 0-300 cm profile by 18.0 mm from sowing to seedling stage. PMF increased water consumption by 13.0 mm from booting to maturing stage, as compared with PMS. Based on the optimizated soil hydrothermal conditions, leaf SPAD value, aboveground biomass, net photosynthetic rate, and transpiration rate of PRF increased, as compared with PMS and CK. The PRF increased grain yield by 9.1% and 36.5%, WUE by 5.9% and 30.8% compared to PMS and CK, respectively. Consequently, PRF increased soil temperature at wheat seedling stage, reduced it from filling to maturing stage, improved wheat water consumption from sowing to filling stage, increased leaf SPAD value and aboveground biomass, promoted photosynthetic function in leaf from seedling to filling stage, and consequently led to increased yield and water utilization. Such effects were more significant in dry year (2016 and 2017).

Abstract
The Septoria blotch of spring wheat leaves and ears is one of the most economically significant infections in the Siberian region. In the control systems of Septoria blotch the main ecologically safe element is resistant varieties, which are designed to slow down the pathogens reproduction rate and slow down or stop the development of the epiphytotic process. The purpose of the work was to clarify the species composition of Septoria blotch pathogens for West Siberian regions and spring wheat varieties, to study the epiphytotic process of Septoria differentially on the leaves and ears of varieties, and to evaluate the activity of seed transmission of Parastagonospora nodorum. Studies were carried out in 2016-2018 according to generally accepted methods. Septoria leaf and ear blotch of spring wheat is widespread in West Siberia and the Trans-Urals, causing a decrease in yield by up to 50 % or more with the deterioration in grain quality. The causative agents of the disease are P. nodorum, Septoria tritici, and P. avenae f. sp. triticae, and the species ratio varied across the regions and varieties, and within plant organs. In Novosibirsk Region, P. nodorum completely dominated; S. tritici was 13.8 times less common; and P. avenae f. sp. triticae was a singleton. In Tyumen Region, the dominance of P. nodorum was disrupted in some geographic locations by S. tritici and P. avenae f. sp. triticae. In Altai Krai, P. nodorum predominated at all points studied; S. tritici and P. avenae f. sp. triticae were found everywhere, but 5.6 and 8.6 times less often, respectively. The study of spring wheat varieties of different origins has not revealed any samples immune to Septoria blotch. A differentiated manifestation of resistance to Septoria leaf and ear disease has been established. Some varieties show complex resistance, combining reduced susceptibility to Septoria leaf and ear disease. Seed infection with P. nodorum in the regions of Siberia reached 7 thresholds and was largely (52.5 %) determined by the August weather conditions. The study of the collection of spring wheat varieties from three Siberian regions has revealed the following trend. Transmission of P. nodorum with the seeds of varieties was the most active (7.6 %) in Novosibirsk Region and somewhat weaker in Omsk Region (5.7 %). The most favorable phytosanitary situation was in Kurgan Region, where varieties transmitted P. nodorum to a low degree (2.1 %), below the threshold.

Abstract
Androgenesis is potentially the most effective technique for doubled haploid production of wheat. It is not however widely used in breeding programmes due to its main limitation: the genotype dependence. Due to genetic differences between spring and winter wheat, it was assumed that both phenotypes are different in their capacity to conduct androgenesis. And so, the aim of this investigation was to verify the effectiveness of androgenesis induction and plant regeneration of spring and winter wheat genotypes while considering varying amounts of growth hormones in the induction medium. Fifteen genotypes of spring wheat and fifteen of winter wheat were used in the experiment. Six hundred anthers of each of the 30 genotypes were plated and analysed. Previous studies have allowed selection of the best medium for wheat androgenesis and a combination of growth hormones that are the most effective in stimulating microspore proliferation. Therefore, C17 induction media with two combinations of growth hormones were used: I—supplemented only by auxins (2,4-D and dicamba), and II—supplemented by auxin and cytokinin (2,4-D and kinetin). Data was recorded according to the efficiency of androgenic structure formation (ASF), green plant regeneration (GPR), and albino plant regeneration (APR). The results showed that the induction and regeneration of androgenesis in the spring wheat were more efficient than in the winter ones. The spring genotypes formed more androgenic structures and green plants on anthers plated on the medium supplemented only by auxins, in contrast to the winter genotypes which were better induced and regenerated on the medium supplemented by auxin and cytokinin. The study showed that to increase the efficiency of androgenesis, it is necessary to select appropriate factors such as concentration and type of hormones in medium composition, affecting the course of the culturing procedure according to the winter or spring phenotype of donor plants.

Abstract
Current limited water availability due to climate changes results in severe drought stress and desiccation in plants. Phenotyping drought tolerance remains challenging. In particular, our knowledge about the discriminating power of traits for capturing a plastic phenotype in high-throughput settings is scant. The study is designed to investigate the differential performance and broad-sense heritability of a battery set of morphological, physiological, and cellular traits to understand the adaptive phenotypic response to drought in spring wheat during the tillering stage. The potential of peroxisome abundance to predict the adaptive response under severe drought was assessed using a high-throughput technique for peroxisome quantification in plants. The research dissected the dynamic changes of some phenological traits during three successive phases of drought using two contrasting genotypes of adaptability to drought. The research demonstrates 5 main findings: (1) a reduction of the overall dimension of the phenological traits for robust phenotyping of the adaptive performance under drought; (2) the abundance of peroxisomes in response to drought correlate negatively with grain yield; (3) the efficiency of ROS homeostasis through peroxisome proliferation which seems to be genetically programmed; and (4) the dynamics of ROS homeostasis seems to be timing dependent mechanism, the tolerant genotype response is earlier than the susceptible genotype. This work will contribute to the identification of robust plastic phenotypic tools and the understanding of the mechanisms for adaptive behavior under drought conditions. SUMMARY STATEMENT This study presents the estimated broad-sense heritability of 24 phenological traits under drought compared with non-stressed conditions. The results demonstrated a reduced model of the overall dimension of the phenological traits for phenotyping drought tolerant response including a novel trait (peroxisome abundance). Also, it displays that the adaptive mechanism through peroxisomes proliferation that is a genetic-dependent manner and related to the stress phase, since tolerant plants can sense the stress and maintain the cellular balance earlier than the sensitive plants.

Abstract
A field experiment was conducted from 2015 to 2016 in the northwestern Loess Plateau, China, to analyze the relationships among flag-leaf photosynthetic characteristics, water-consumption characteristics, and yield components of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum 'Longchun 35'). There were three treatments: whole-field plastic mulching (PMS), sand mulching (SM), and uncovered (CK). The results showed that soil-water storage levels at 0-300 cm of soil profile before wheat filling under PMS and SM treatments were greater than that in CK by 47.8 and 31.6 mm, respectively, while that under PMS was lower than CK by 15.6 mm at the filling stage. Water consumption under PMS and SM increased in the flagging-heading and flowering-filling stages compared with the CK. Leaf area indices under PMS and SM were increased by 59.0%-73.7% and 40.1%-52.7%, respectively, and leaf SPAD values were increased by 3.5%-28.4% and 2.9%-23.9%, respectively, compared with CK. The net photosynthetic rate of PMS was increased by 23.5%, 33.0% and 17.7% at the flagging, heading, and flowering stages. The corresponding stoma-tal conductance rate was increased by 32.6%, 76.4% and 66.9%, respectively. Net photosynthetic and stomatal conductance rates at the filling stage were decreased by 26.2% and 16.4%, respectively. At the heading, flowering, and filling stages, stomatal limitation values in PMS were decreased by 14.6%, 23.9% and 22.3%, respectively, and by 25.7%, 29.8% and 17.4%, respectively in SM. The instantaneous water-use efficiency of spring wheat in PMS was increased by 57.8% at the flagging stage and decreased by 11.2% at the flowering stage. At the heading and flowering stages, the apparent quantum efficiency was increased by 22.6% and 18.7% in PMS, and by 26.8% and 14.3% in SM, respectively. Plant height and yield component indices in PMS and SM were significantly greater than that in CK, with the enhancement being greater than that in dry years. Grain yield was increased by 36.2% and 8.7% and water-use efficiency increased by 9.4% and 3.4% in PMS and SM, respectively. PMS and SM treatments increased soil water storage before the pre-filling stage of wheat, aggravated water consumption during the flagging-shooting and flowering-filling stages, resulting in greater SPAD values and leaf area indices, which promoted the photosynthetic functions of flag leaves, facilitated sink formation and photosynthetic assimilate transportation, resulting in increased grain yields and water use efficiency of spring wheat. The effects of PMS treatment were more remarkable than those of SM in terms of increasing spring wheat's yield potential in wet years and adaptability in dry years.

Abstract
In the present study, the response of spring wheat production and water use efficiency (WUE) to the elevated CO2 concentrations was investigated based on the open-top chamber (OTC) experiment platform in Dingxi, a typical semi-arid area. Three different CO2 concentrations (390 μmol·mol-1, 480 μmol·mol-1 and 570 μmol·mol-1) were involved. The results showed that the air temperature above plant canopy increased and the soil temperature at depth of 10 cm decreased by elevated CO2. The increased CO2 concentration substantially enhanced the total and each component biomass. The aboveground dry mass under the increased CO2 concentrations (480 and 570 μmol·mol-1) was increased by 20.6% and 41.5%, respectively, and the total dry mass was increased by 19.3% and 39.6%, respectively. The biomass enhacement was mainly due to the increases of dry mass of stems and leaves, which was strongly related to the material production capacity during the middle growth stage. The root/shoot ratio under the increased CO2 concentrations (480 and 570 μmol·mol-1) was decreased by 7.3% and 11.8%, respectively, indicating that the elevated CO2 affected the dry matter accumulation of aboveground more than that of belowground. The yields of spring wheat under the increased CO2 concentrations (480 and 570 μmol·mol-1) were higher than that of the control by 8.9% and 19.9%, respectively, mainly due to the increase of grains per spike. The long-term effect of elevated CO2 concentration on the photosynthesis of spring wheat was not obvious. The photosynthetic rate significantly increased, the transpiration rate decreased and the evapotranspiration reduced with the increases of CO2 concentration. WUE at the leaf, population, and yield levels increased under elevated CO2 concentration, with the increase range of WUE being the largest at the population level and the lowest at the yield level.

Abstract
Based on the field experiment which was conducted in Dingxi County of Gansu Province, and involved in the three treatments: (1) plastic mulching on entire land with soil coverage and bunching (PMS), (2) plastic mulching on entire land and bunching (PM), and (3) direct bunching without mulching (CK). The parameters of SPAD values, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters, photosynthetic gas exchange parameters, as well as leaf area index (LAI), yield, evapotranspiration, and water use efficiency in flag leaves of spring wheat were recorded and analyzed from 2012 to 2013 continuously. The results showed that SPAD values of wheat flag leaves increased in PMS by 10.0%-21.5% and 3.2%-21.6% compared to PM and CK in post-flowering stage, respectively. The maximum photochemical efficiency (Fv/Fm) , actual photochemical efficiency (ΦPS2) of photosystem 2 (PS2), and photochemical quenching coefficient (qP) of PMS were higher than those of PM and CK, the maximum increment values were 6.1%, 9.6% and 30.9% as compared with PM, and significant differences were observed in filling stage (P<0.05). The values of qN in PMS were lowest among the three treatments, and it decreased significantly by 23.8% and 15.4% in heading stage in 2012 and 2013 respectively, as compared with PM. The stoma conductance (gs) of wheat flag leaves in PMS was higher than that of PM and CK, with significant difference being observed in filling stage, and it increased by 17.1% and 21.1% in 2012 and 2013 respectively, as compared with PM. The transpiration rate (Tr), net photosynthetic rate (Pn), and leaf instantaneous water use efficiency (WUEi) except heading stage in 2013 of PMS increased by 5.4%-16.7%, 11.2%-23.7%, and 5.6%-7.2%, respectively, as compared with PM, and significant difference of WUEi was observed in flowering stage in 2012. The leaf area index (LAI) of PMS was higher than that of PM and CK, especially, it differed significantly in seasonal drought of 2013. Consequently, the PMS increased the SPAD values in flag leaves of spring wheat, and the capacity of flag leaves for photo energy assimilation and photosynthetic gas exchange were enhanced, caused more photosynthetic energy flowing into photochemical process, as well as decreased the heat dissipation, resulted in the increment of Pn and WUEi. Based on the higher Pn and LAI, the yield and WUE of PMS increased.

Abstract
To establish an optimum combination of water and nitrogen for spring under permanent raised bed (PRB) tillage, a field investigation was carried out to assess effects of irrigation and N application on root growth, yield, irrigation water productivity and N efficiency. The experiment followed a completely randomized split-plot design, taking furrow irrigation 1200 m3·hm-2(W1), 2400 m3·hm-2(W2), 3600 m3·hm-2(W3) as main plot treatments, and N rates (0, 90, 180, 270 kg·hm-2) the sub-plot treatments. Our results showed that the root mass density (RWD) was significantly affected by irrigation and N application, the RWD of spring wheat reached a maximum at the filling stage, followed by a slow decline until maturity, while the effect of N on RWD depended on soil water conditions. The application of N2 produced the maximum RWD under W2 irrigation, the application of N1 produced the maximum RWD under W1 irrigation, and the application of N3 produced the maximum RWD under W3 irrigation. The order of irrigation regime effect on RWD of spring wheat was W2>W3>W1. The order of irrigation regime and N rate effect on RWD of spring wheat was irrigation>N>irrigation and N interaction. W2N2 treatment produced the highest RWD value. The root-to-shoot ratio (R/S) descended with the rising of irrigation water and nitrogen amount, and the combined treatment (W1N0) produced the maximum R/S. The root system was mainly distributed in the 0-40 cm soil layer, in which the RWD accounted for 85% of the total RWD in 0-80 cm soil depth. There was a significantly positive relationship between RWD in the 0-40 cm and the yield of spring wheat, RWD in the 40-60 cm had higher linear dependence on the yield of spring wheat. W2 increased the proportion of RWD in the deep soil layer (40-60 cm). The irrigation and N rate had a significant impact on biomass and grain yield of spring wheat, the biomass increased as the N rate and water amount increased, W2N2 treatment produced the highest grain yield, irrigation water productivity descended with increasing the irrigation amount, and the nitrogen agronomic efficiency descended with increasing N rate. It was concluded that the irrigation level W2(2400 m3·hm-2) and nitrogen level N2(180 kg·hm-2) could be recommended as the best combination of water and N, which promoted the root growth, improved grain yield, water and nitrogen use efficiencies of spring wheat production under PRB tillage in the experimental area.

Abstract
Developing genomic selection (GS) models is an important step in applying GS to accelerate the rate of genetic gain in grain yield in plant breeding. In this study, seven genomic prediction models under two cross-validation (CV) scenarios were tested on 287 advanced elite spring wheat lines phenotyped for grain yield (GY), thousand-grain weight (GW), grain number (GN), and thermal time for flowering (TTF) in 18 international environments (year-location combinations) in major wheat-producing countries in 2010 and 2011. Prediction models with genomic and pedigree information included main effects and interaction with environments. Two random CV schemes were applied to predict a subset of lines that were not observed in any of the 18 environments (CV1), and a subset of lines that were not observed in a set of the environments, but were observed in other environments (CV2). Genomic prediction models, including genotype × environment (G×E) interaction, had the highest average prediction ability under the CV1 scenario for GY (0.31), GN (0.32), GW (0.45), and TTF (0.27). For CV2, the average prediction ability of the model including the interaction terms was generally high for GY (0.38), GN (0.43), GW (0.63), and TTF (0.53). Wheat lines in site-year combinations in Mexico and India had relatively high prediction ability for GY and GW. Results indicated that prediction ability of lines not observed in certain environments could be relatively high for genomic selection when predicting G×E interaction in multi-environment trials.

Abstract
Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by the fungal plant pathogen Fusarium, is a fungal disease that occurs in wheat and can cause significant yield and grain quality losses. The present paper examines variation in the resistance of spring wheat lines derived from a cross between Zebra and Saar cultivars. Experiments covering 198 lines and parental cultivars were conducted in three years, in which inoculation with Fusarium culmorum was applied. Resistance levels were estimated by scoring disease symptoms on kernels. In spite of a similar reaction of parents to F. culmorum infection, significant differentiation between lines was found in all the analyzed traits. Seven molecular markers selected as linked to FHB resistance QTLs gave polymorphic products for Zebra and Saar: Xgwm566, Xgwm46, Xgwm389, Xgwm533, Xgwm156, Xwmc238, and Xgwm341. Markers Xgwm389 and Xgwm533 were associated with the rate of Fusarium-damaged kernels (FDK) as well as with kernel weight per spike and thousand kernel weight in control plants. Zebra allele of marker Xwmc238 increased kernel weight per spike and thousand kernel weight both in control and infected plants, whereas Zebra allele of marker Xgwm566 reduced the percentage of FDK and simultaneously reduced the thousand kernel weight in control and infected plants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High moisture before harvest can cause sprouting of the wheat kernel, which is termed pre-harvest sprouting (PHS). The aim of this study was to examine the variation in physicochemical properties of proteins in PHS-damaged (sprouted) hard red and white spring wheat genotypes. Specifically, protein content, enzyme activity and degradation of proteins were evaluated in sound and PHS-damaged wheat. RESULTS Protein contents of sprouted wheat samples were lower than that of non-sprouted samples; however, their differences were not significantly (P > 0.05) correlated with sprouting score. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) buffer extractable proteins (EXP) and unextractable proteins (UNP) were analyzed by high-performance size exclusion chromatography. PHS damage elevated endoprotease activity and consequently increased the degradation of polymeric UNP and free asparagine concentration in wheat samples. Free asparagine is known to be a precursor for formation of carcinogenic acrylamide during high heat treatment, such as baking bread. Free asparagine content had significant correlations (P < 0.01) with sprouting score, endoprotease activity and protein degradation. CONCLUSIONS Genotypes with higher endoprotease activity tend to exhibit a larger degree of degradation of UNP and higher free asparagine concentration in sprouted wheat samples.

Abstract
Grain yields of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cvs. AC Barrie, AC Walton, AC Wilmot, Belvedere, Glenlea) in field plots over a 3-year period were increased (P < 0.001) by an average of 0.56 (25.1%) and 1.17 (52.5%) tonnes/ha in comparison to untreated check plots when aldicarb at 2.24 kg or fosthiazate at 13.5 a.i./ha, respectively, were broadcast and incorporated into the soil to suppress nematodes. The planned F test using orthogonal coefficients indicated that the mean response of grain yields to nematicide treatments of AC Barrie and Glenlea, which are grown primarily in the prairie provinces of Canada, was greater (48.5%) than the mean response of Belvedere, AC Walton, and AC Wilmot (33.7%), which are more common in the Maritime region of Canada (P < 0.001). Root lesion nematodes (primarily Pratylenchus penetrans) in wheat roots and in root zone soil at harvest were reduced by the nematicide applications (P < 0.001). Bacterial-feeding nematodes (primarily Diplogaster lheritieri (Maupas)) in root zone soil were also suppressed by fosthiazate (P < 0.01) but not by aldicarb. These data indicate that root lesion nematodes cause substantial yield losses in spring wheat in the Maritime region of Canada.
