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
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 ...

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)
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
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 ...

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.

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
