Assessment of Pollen Production, Pollen Viability, Autofertility and Paternal Success in Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) for Better Exploitation of Grain Yield Heterosis

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In animal‐pollinated plants, pollen dispersal depends on several plant and animal characteristics that can influence the paternal success of a plant. Paternal success affects the genetic contribution of a genotype to the next generation, which is relevant to plant breeding.

A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heterosis has shaped modern plant breeding since Darwin's 19th century observations that outcrossing restores vigour lost through selfing. While 100 years old, its mechanistic basis and deployability remain actively debated. Classical models of dominance, overdominance and epistasis provided the foundation for hybrid breeding and converted ...

The miR167-ARF8 module coordinates stamen-pistil development and fruit set in tomato. [PDF]

New Phytol
SlMIR167a is the functionally prominent SlMIR167 gene in tomato fruit development. Summary Auxin is an important regulator of reproductive development. The families of the AUXIN RESPONSE FACTOR (ARF) genes, important components of the auxin signal, have expanded in flowering plants.

New Considerations on Meiosis, Affinity and Genomic Constitution in Aneuploids and Interploid Hybrids of Urochloa P. Beauv. (Brachiaria)

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The combination of polyploidy, apomixis and the formation of aneuploid and interploid hybrids makes the genus Urochloa an interesting system for investigating meiotic stability and genome behaviour in grasses. In this study, routine meiotic analysis and genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) were used to (i) evaluate meiosis in three hybrids of ...

Cultivar‐Specific Production of Unreduced Pollen in the Ornamental Bigleaf Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla ssp. macrophylla)

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Unreduced gametes naturally promote polyploidization and are valuable in breeding polyploid offspring. Bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla ssp. macrophylla), a major ornamental crop, has shown spontaneous polyploidization rates ranging from 0% to 94% in previous crosses.

Beneath the Drought: Rhizosphere Processes Shape Genotype‐Specific Sorghum Responses to Drought‐Induced N Limitation

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Droughts increasingly threaten crop productivity in nutrient‐depleted tropical soils. We investigated how water limitation influences rhizomicrobial traits (microbial biomass and functional community composition, enzyme activities) and nitrogen (N) uptake in three sorghum genotypes Makueni local (Mkl), Gadam (Gd), and IESH 22012 (IESH) under ...

Night warming increases wheat yield by improving pre-anthesis plant growth and post-anthesis grain starch biosynthesis

Journal of Integrative Agriculture
Global climate change is characterized by asymmetric warming, i.e., greater temperature increases in winter, spring, and nighttime than in summer, autumn, and daytime. Field experiments were conducted using four wheat cultivars, namely 'Yangmai 18' (YM18), 'Sumai 188' (SM188), 'Yannong 19' (YN19), and 'Annong 0711' (AN0711), in the two growing seasons ...

Stomatal Sensitivity of Grapevine Varieties Relates to Changes to Berry Growth and ABA During Water Deficit

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stomatal sensitivity of grapevine varieties has been largely investigated to better understand differences among varieties in water deficit (WD) tolerance. Grapevine varieties also exhibit distinct berry growth and ripening responses under WD, but whether the nature and magnitude of these responses can be predicted by stomatal sensitivity ...
