Genome-Wide Identification and Characterization of Basic Pentacysteine Transcription Factors in Brassica napus

Plants
BARLEY B-RECOMBINANT/BASIC PENTACYSTEINE (BBR/BPC), a plant-specific transcription factor family, is a group of GAGA_motif binding factors controlling multiple developmental processes of growth and response to abiotic stresses.

Heterosis for Nitrogen Use Efficiency of Maize Hybrids Enhanced over Decades in China

Agriculture, 2022
The nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) of modern maize hybrids has been greatly improved, but for decades, little was known on whether the NUE heterosis of maize hybrids had increased.

Production and heterosis analysis of rice autotetraploid hybrids [PDF]

, 2007
Poor fertility is the main barrier for utilizing heterosis between the two rice (Oryza sativa L.) subspecies, indica and japonica. Recently, the development of autotetraploid hybrids (2n = 4x = 48) has been suggested as a new method for increasing ...

Deletions linked to PROG1 gene participate in plant architecture domestication in Asian and African rice

Nature Communications, 2018
Plant architecture transition is one of the great consequences during rice domestication. Here, the authors find that chromosomal deletions linked to the previously known PROG1 gene also participate in plant architecture domestication in both Asian and ...

OsLG3 contributing to rice grain length and yield was mined by Ho-LAMap

BMC Biology, 2017
Background Most agronomic traits in rice are complex and polygenic. The identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for grain length is an important objective of rice genetic research and breeding programs.

Heterosis in crop improvement

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
