Harnessing wild relatives of pearl millet for germplasm enhancement: Challenges and opportunities
Crop Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 177-200, January/February 2021., 2021 Abstract Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is one of the world's hardiest warm‐season cereal crop and is cultivated mainly in the semi‐arid tropics of Asia and Africa for food, feed, fodder, and brewing. It is mainly cultivated for its gluten‐free grains with high content and better quality of nutrients.

Evolution of the apomixis transmitting chromosome in
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Background Apomixis is an intriguing trait in plants that results in maternal clones through seed reproduction. Apomixis is an elusive, but potentially revolutionary, trait for plant breeding and hybrid seed production.

Chromosomal Evolution and Apomixis in the Cruciferous Tribe Boechereae
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The mustard family (Brassicaceae) comprises several dozen monophyletic clades usually ranked as tribes. The tribe Boechereae plays a prominent role in plant research due to the incidence of apomixis and its close relationship to Arabidopsis.

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 In Cichorium intybus L., the mode of reproduction could be at the same time sexual and apomicbic. This could explain the contradictions existing in the interpretation of the heritaibidity of the characters in this species.

Gametophyte and sporophyte of tree ferns in vitro culture
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2011 Experiments had been carried out on gametophytes and very young fronds of sporophytes with application of Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium. The paper described the results of 15 years in vitro experiments on 16 species of tree ferns belonging to various
