Insights from controlled, comparative experiments highlight the limitations of using BSMV and FoMV for virus‐enabled reverse genetics in rice

open access: yesAnnals 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).

Direct and correlated responses to upward and downward selection for outcrossing in Vicia faba

open access: yes, 2021
Upward and downward artificial selection for outcrossing were performed in faba bean open-pollinated populations: (1) to characterize the mating systems of the populations resulting from upward/downward selection of allogamy; (2) to assess the magnitude ...

Self‐compatibility in Solanum malmeanum (Solanaceae): Evolutionary and breeding impacts for a novel source of genetic variation in diploid potatoes

open access: yesTAXON, 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

Morphofunctional Traits and Pollination Mechanisms of Coronilla emerus L. Flowers (Fabaceae)

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2012
It is accepted that the papilionaceous corolla of the Fabaceae evolved under the selective pressure of bee pollinators. Morphology and function of different parts of Coronilla emerus L. flowers were related to their role in the pollination mechanism. The

RNA‐Seq analysis revealed differentially expressed genes linked to seed size variation in sainfoin

open access: yesGrassland Science, Volume 72, Issue 2, Page 123-133, April 2026.
Abstract Sainfoin is a perennial forage legume with many desirable characteristics such as easy to establish, bloat‐free trait for grazing ruminants and providing pollinator habitat and biological nitrogen fixation to soil. However, adoption of this species is often hindered by high seed cost associated with its larger seed size compared to other ...

Morphological and phenological properties of sour cherry varieties grown in Hungary and their inter-incompatibility relations

open access: yesInternational Journal of Horticultural Science, 2000
Regular observations and experiments were performed during a 14 year period on 6 sour cherry varieties. The morphological traits of leaves and fruits were compared, and the phenology of blooming as well as of ripening dates served to start an estimation ...

Genetic diversity in taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott) accessions using agro‐morphological traits and DArT SNP

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott) is one of the neglected root crops with great potential for ensuring food security. Nigerian taro genetic diversity has been rarely reported, particularly using single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers.

Cultivar‐Specific and Field Site–Specific Protein and Metabolite Patterns of Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) Seeds

open access: yesLegume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Sustainable agriculture is an important component of current and future food production, particularly in the face of the rising human world population. In this context, faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is highly valuable due to its capability to enrich soils with nitrogen and because its seeds have a high nutritional value. In this study, we compared
