A robust biotechnology induces artificial genomic duplication via transient RNAi‐mediated suppression of OSD1 in rice

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Plant Polyploidization via Gene Interference, a robust technology for inducing polyploidy in various rice accessions, uses transient RNAi‐mediated suppression of OSD1 to induce genomic duplication. Two strategies were used to directly induce fertile autotetraploid plants in the first generation, thereby substantially shortening the breeding cycle ...

Visualising Physcomitrium patens protoplasts with full‐rotation soft X‐ray tomography

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Soft X‐ray tomography (SXT) is a label‐free, high‐resolution imaging modality that is optimal for 3D visualisation of whole hydrated cells. Although SXT has been extensively used to study remodelling in more than 130 mammalian cell lines, its application to plants remains largely unexplored. In this study, we present the first approach at full‐

STS Marker Associated with Iron Toxicity Tolerance in Rice [PDF]

Journal of Tropical Life Science, 2016
Iron (Fe) toxicity is one of the limiting factors for rice growth and production in paddy fields. The use of iron tolerant varieties is one of the most efficient ways to solve this problem. Identification of molecular markers associated with the trait is

Genome‐scale insights into metabolic streamlining and photosynthetic energy balance in the extremophile green alga Picocystis salinarum (Picocystophyceae, Chlorophyta)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Picocystis salinarum is an early‐diverging chlorophyte and the sole described member of the Picocystophyceae, frequently dominating hypersaline and alkaline lakes despite extreme physicochemical constraints. To elucidate the genomic foundations of its ecological success, we generated a fully annotated, chromosome‐scale nuclear genome assembly ...

Genome‐wide association study of morphometric and metabolic characteristics in European populations of the sugar kelp Saccharina latissima

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The sugar kelp Saccharina latissima is a promising candidate for sustainable aquaculture in the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific, but genetic improvement has been hindered by a limited understanding of the genetic basis of economically important traits.

Genetic Dissection of Wheat Heterosis Identifies Candidate Genes in Biparental and Diverse Hybrid Populations

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding how numerous heterotic quantitative trait loci (hQTL) shape heterosis and shifting from hQTL to candidate genes are central challenges. To address these challenges, we performed a systematic, genome‐wide mapping in a biparental population and a population of diverse hybrids.

Programmable Domestication: CRISPR, Pan‐Genomics and System Level Engineering for Next‐Generation Crops

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Conceptual overview of programmable de novo domestication from genetic diversity discovery to crop deployment. The framework connects diverse germplasm and genomic resources with three trajectory pathways. Adaptive Rescue, Agronomic Refinement and Novel Chassis defined by biological distance, engineering complexity and breeding objectives.

QTL Mapping of Several Seed Quality Traits in the DH Population NPZ06 × NPZ09 (Brassica napus L.) for Marker‐Assisted Selection

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Enhancing nutritional quality of oilseed rape requires deeper insight into the genetic control of seed quality traits. This study analysed the effect of varying soil phosphorus (P) levels on seed quality traits in the hybrid cultivar Architect. NIRS and laboratory methods were used to quantify total seed P and phytic acid (IP6) content.

Mapping of Fire Blight Resistance QTL in the European Pear (Pyrus communis L.) Cultivar ‘Petersbirne’

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The breeding of pear (Pyrus communis) cultivars that meet market requirements and are at the same time resistant to fire blight is a challenging task beacuse appropriate resistance donors are scarce. To identify valuable resistance sources, phenotypic screening and genetic characterization are indispensable.

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 ...
