An Integrative Small RNA–Degradome–Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Mechanisms of Heat-Induced Anther Indehiscence in Pepper

Biology
Heat threatens male fertility in crops, yet the regulatory basis of anther dehiscence under high temperatures remains unclear. We compared a heat-sensitive pepper cultivar (DL) with a heat-tolerant landrace (B021) across two anther stages using ...
