Fujian cytoplasmic male sterility and the fertility restorer gene <i>OsRf19</i> provide a promising breeding system for hybrid rice. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2022 Significance Although hybrid rice has been widely utilized for nearly half a century, tremendously improving rice productivity worldwide, the breeding of hybrids has been difficult because of genetic complications in male sterility and fertility ...

A primary study of breeding system of Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2021 Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa has been used as a windbreak and for soil conservation and water retention. Previous studies focused on pharmacological effects and extraction of chemical components in this species, and very few explored the breeding system.

Fast-track breeding system to introduce CTV resistance of trifoliate orange into citrus germplasm, by integrating early flowering transgenic plants with marker-assisted selection. [PDF]
BMC Plant Biol, 2020 Background Global warming will expand the range of new and invasive pathogens in orchards, and subsequently increase the risk of disease epidemics and economic losses.

The influence of environmental factors on breeding system allocation at large spatial scales. [PDF]
AoB Plants, 2018 Plant breeding systems can vary widely among populations, yet few studies have investigated abiotic factors contributing to variation across a broad geographic range.

Revolutionize livestock breeding in the future: an animal embryo-stem cell breeding system in a dish. [PDF]
J Anim Sci Biotechnol, 2018 Meat and milk production needs to increase ~ 70–80% relative to its current levels for satisfying the human needs in 2050. However, it is impossible to achieve such genetic gain by conventional animal breeding systems.

Challenges to design-oriented breeding of root system architecture adapted to climate change
Breeding Science, 2021 Roots are essential organs for capturing water and nutrients from the soil. In particular, root system architecture (RSA) determines the extent of the region of the soil where water and nutrients can be gathered.

Interaction among ploidy, breeding system and lineage diversification.
New Phytologist, 2019 If particular traits consistently affect rates of speciation and extinction, broad macroevolutionary patterns can be interpreted as consequences of selection at high levels of the biological hierarchy.

An epigenetic breeding system in soybean for increased yield and stability
bioRxiv, 2017 Epigenetic variation has been associated with a wide range of adaptive phenotypes in plants, but there exist few direct means for exploiting this variation.
