The fitness effects of outcrossing distance depend on parental flowering phenology in fragmented populations of a tallgrass prairie forb

New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 2, Page 968-978, July 2025.
Summary The phenomena of isolation‐by‐distance and isolation‐by‐time shapecontra mating patterns and population genetic processes, such as inbreeding and outbreeding depression, which influence progeny fitness. However, the effects of parental isolation in time on offspring fitness remain understudied, especially in combination with isolation‐by ...

Understanding the genetic basis of rice heterosis: Advances and prospects

Crop Journal, 2021
Heterosis, which describes the superior vigor and yield of F1 hybrids with respect to their parents, is observed in many rice hybrid crosses. The exploitation of heterosis is a great leap in the history of rice breeding.

Genetic diversity and adaptive evolutionary history of Sapindus in China: insights from whole‐genome resequencing of 100 representative individuals

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 2485-2500, July 2025.
Summary Sapindus is an important forest tree genus with utility in biodiesel, biomedicine, biochemistry and forestry. Similar to many perennial crop plants, its breeding is hampered by long generation times and lack of genetic resources. To understand the genome evolution underlying the important bioeconomic traits, we carried out a common garden ...

Expression of Pinellia pedatisecta Lectin Gene in Transgenic Wheat Enhances Resistance to Wheat Aphids

Molecules, 2018
Wheat aphids are major pests during the seed filling stage of wheat. Plant lectins are toxic to sap-sucking pests such as wheat aphids. In this study, Pinellia pedatisecta agglutinin (ppa), a gene encoding mannose binding lectin, was cloned, and it ...

Natural allelic variation of basic helix–loop–helix transcription factor 25 regulates carotenoid biosynthesis in sweet potato

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 2627-2644, July 2025.
Summary Carotenoid‐rich orange‐fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) is an important staple diet and source of nutrition in developing countries, including Africa and Asia. However, the regulation of carotenoid biosynthesis remains to be better understood. A natural allelic variation closely linked to carotenoid biosynthesis was identified in the promoter region

The chimeric gene orf610a reduces cotton pollen fertility by impairing the assembly of ATP synthase

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, Page 2949-2962, July 2025.
Summary Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) serves as a pivotal tool for exploiting hybrid vigour and studying nuclear‐cytoplasmic interactions. Despite its long‐standing use in cotton breeding, the underlying mechanisms of the CMS‐D2 system remain elusive.
