Research on the possibility of RAPD markers application in detecting DNA polymorphism of alfalfa varieties [PDF]
Ratarstvo i Povrtarstvo, 2010 Although alfalfa is the most important forage crop grown in the temperate regions, breeding improvements are not easily achieved due to high genetic complexity of this species.

Plant Breeding, Volume 145, Issue 3, Page 610-624, June 2026.ABSTRACT The dandelion species Taraxacum kok‐saghyz is a promising new crop for natural rubber production and is currently in the early stages of the breeding process. To support these efforts, the multiplication and conservation of defined genotypes are crucial.

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1127-1137, May 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollination is a key tenet of ecosystem sustainability and food security, but it is threatened by climate change. While many studies investigated the response of plant‐pollination traits to temperature, few attempted multifactorial and integrative approaches with ...

Agronomy, 2018 The genus Lolium has shown a high tendency to evolve resistance to herbicides. Considering the high level of allogamy of L. perenne and the importance of the wind as an agent for pollen dispersion, the aim of this work was to assess and quantify the ...

The Red Queen unveils the sexual and mating strategies of flowers
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.Although the conventional wisdom is that floral traits of plants evolved in concert with their mutualistic pollinators, here we showed that several key sexual and mating traits of plants, which modulate their outcrossing strategy, evolved in response to the pressure exerted by their antagonistic insect herbivores.

Crossing and diagnostic methods of cubiu hybrid plants based on genetic markers
Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2008 The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different artificial cross pollination techniques in cubiu (Solanum sessiliflorum) for breeding purposes and genetic control studies of economically important traits. The varieties Santa Luzia and

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 188, Issue 3, Page 745-754, May 2026.Virus‐enabled reverse genetics (VERG) enables transient gene expression modulation in plants but its efficacy varies across species. We evaluated the efficacy of barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) and foxtail mosaic virus (FoMV) for virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) and virus‐mediated overexpression (VOX) in rice (Oryza sativa).

TAXON, Volume 75, Issue 2, April 2026.Abstract Solanum malmeanum, a wild relative of the potato (S. tuberosum), is native to Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. This wild potato species belongs to the tertiary gene pool (2x = 2n = 24, 1EBN – Endosperm Balance Number) and possesses valuable traits for potato breeding. Understanding its reproductive mechanisms is crucial for effectively

Gayana: Botanica, 2010 The extent to which plants depend on pollinators for outcross pollen transportation is a key issue in plant reproductive ecology. We evaluated the putative breeding system, foral display, and natural pollination in two Southern Cone of South American ...
