Technical Field

[0002] wheat( Triticum aestivum L. As one of the world's three major food crops, wheat provides a primary source of calories and protein for approximately one-quarter of the global population. The size and morphology of the grain, the edible part of wheat, directly determine yield and quality, making it a crucial target trait for wheat genetic improvement. Among grain morphological characteristics, grain length is a key indicator of wheat grain size, significantly impacting grain weight and flour quality. Although grain development involves a complex genetic regulatory network, the specific molecular mechanisms controlling this process are not yet fully elucidated.

[0003] In recent years, with the development of transcriptomics and epigenomics technologies, researchers have identified a variety of transcription factors and regulatory networks involved in wheat grain development. For example, NAC100, a member of the NAC transcription factor family, has been found to activate the starch synthesis pathway. TaAGPL-1B and TaISA2-1B and in the gluten synthesis pathway TaHWM-1D Gene expression (Li, J., Xie, L., Tian, ​​X., et al.). TaNAC100 acts as an integrator of seedprotein and starch synthesis exerting pleiotropic effects on agronomictraitsin wheat[J]. The Plant journal (For cell and molecular biology, 2021, 108(3), 829–840.) Transcription factors TaMYB44 It is a key negative regulator of starch synthesis. The mechanism by which the MYB44-WDR1-UGT83A1 module regulates starch synthesis and grain weight was systematically elucidated (Liu, Y., Wang, M., Wang, Y., et al. The transcription factor MYB44 suppresses starch synthesis to negatively regulate grain weight and yield in wheat and rice[J]. Molecular plant , 2025. 18(7),1193–1209.). TabHLH489It not only regulates wheat grain development but also participates in the process of efficient nitrogen use in wheat (Lyu, J., Wang, D., Sun, N., et al. The TaSnRK1-TabHLH489 module integratesbrassinosteroid and sugar signaling to regulate the grain length in breadwheat[J]. Plant biotechnology journal , 2024. 22(7), 1989–2006.). Furthermore, B3 domain transcription factors TaABI3-B1 It has also been shown that it affects wheat yield by regulating grain size and protein content (Li, X., Wan, Y., Wang, D., et al. Spatiotemporal transcriptomics reveals keygene regulation for grain yield and quality in wheat[J]. Genome biology , 2025, 26(1), 93.).
