The Plant Journal, 2023 SUMMARYHeterosis, also known as hybrid vigor, is the phenomenon wherein a progeny exhibits superior traits relative to one or both parents. In terms of crop breeding, this usually refers to the yield advantage of F1 hybrids over both inbred parents. The development of high‐yielding hybrid cultivars across a wider range of crops is key to meeting future

Rewiring Meiosis for Crop Improvement [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Meiosis is a specialized cell division that contributes to halve the genome content and reshuffle allelic combinations between generations in sexually reproducing eukaryotes. During meiosis, a large number of programmed DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are formed throughout the genome. Repair of meiotic DSBs facilitates the pairing of homologs and forms

Regulation of seed oil accumulation by lncRNAs in Brassica napus
Biotechnology for Biofuels and Bioproducts, 2023 Background Studies have indicated that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play important regulatory roles in many biological processes. However, the regulation of seed oil biosynthesis by lncRNAs remains largely unknown. Results We comprehensively identified
