	Spot blotch is a highly destructive disease in wheat caused by the fungal pathogen Bipolaris sorokiniana (teleomorph, Cochliobolus sativus). It is prevalent in warm and humid areas, including Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the USA. In the present study, twelve isolates of B. sorokiniana were collected from wheat fields in three different geographical locations in India. The pathogenicity of seven sporulating isolates was assessed on `DDK 1025', a spot blotch-susceptible wheat variety under greenhouse conditions. The isolate `D2' illustrated the highest virulence, followed by `SI' and `BS52'. These three isolates were sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq1000 platform. The estimated genome sizes of the isolates BS52, D2, and SI were 35.19 MB, 39.32 MB, and 32.76 MB, with GC contents of 48.48%, 50.43%, and 49.42%, respectively. The numbers of pathogenicity genes identified in BS52, D2, and SI isolates were 2015, 2476, and 2018, respectively. Notably, the isolate D2 exhibited a relatively larger genome with expanded arsenals of Biosynthetic Gene Clusters (BGCs), CAZymes, secretome, and pathogenicity genes, which could have contributed to its higher virulence among the tested isolates. This study provides the first comparative genome analysis of the Indian isolates of B. sorokiniana using whole genome sequencing.&lt;/p&gt;

	Abiotic stresses have become more severe and capricious due to global warming and varying climatic conditions, with increased temperature reducing the yield of important agricultural crops due to high evapotranspiration, resulting in the increased amount of soil salinization in arid and semi-arid areas, which has become a significant threat that restricts agricultural practices and leads to the overexploitation of cultivation land. One of the crucial environmental elements limiting plant development and yield is salinity. The special effects of salt stress on the superiority of numerous crops have yet to be discovered. Under salinity, plants tend to activate multiple physiological and biochemical mechanisms to overcome the stress by altering their morphology, photosynthesis, water relations, and biochemical adaptations, such as the antioxidative metabolism response and trigger polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which act as a biomarker for salinity stress. With the help of PUFAs, which have become popular as all-purpose defenders, decorative techniques have been created to prevent the consequences of saline. The most prevalent PUFAs in plants are those with 18 carbons, specifically 18:1 (oleic), 18:2 (linoleic), and 18:3 (alpha-linolenic) acids which operate as glycerolipids, a source of energy and carbon in triacylglycerol, precursors of numerous bioactive chemicals, stores of extracellular barrier components, and intrinsic antioxidants, modulating cellular membranes and enhancing crop quality and yield. However, limited information about PUFAs and their roles in enhancing crop stress tolerance is available. Therefore, producers and breeders must understand salinity's influence on crop composition to enhance fatty acids under salinity conditions. However, brief work has been reported; this review will help comprehend the role of fatty acids in salinity for food security through the genetic engineering of synthetic genes encoding fatty acids to improve crop stress tolerance and grain quality.&lt;/p&gt;

	Spot blotch, caused by the soil- and air-borne fungal pathogen Bipolaris sorokiniana, is a major threat to wheat production. The disease is reaching epidemic proportions in wheat-growing areas, particularly in South Asia, South America, Africa, and Australia. In India, over 25 million hectares of wheat-growing area is threatened by this disease. A systematic study of metabolites can provide insights into the molecular basis of this disease. In the present study, we evaluated the impact of B. sorokiniana inoculation on two wheat varieties, Chirya3 (resistant to spot blotch) and DDK1025 (susceptible to spot blotch). We performed time-course non-targeted metabolite profiling of the pathogen-inoculated and mock-inoculated plants using liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS). Multivariate analysis was performed to construct a comprehensive statistical workflow, which led to the defined ``metabolomic phenotypes''. Modeling by Orthogonal Projection to Latent Structures-Discriminant Analysis (OPLS-DA) revealed significant metabolites in responses of the resistant and susceptible varieties to pathogen inoculation. A total of 699 metabolites displayed significant variations during the progression of infection. B. sorokiniana-inoculated Chirya3 exhibited high levels of some metabolites, such as sphingolipids, cysteine, phenylalanine, shikimates, etc. The study revealed that sphingolipid pathways are critical in resistance mechanisms contributing to enhanced lignification and disease resistance in wheat.&lt;/p&gt;
