Analysis of drought tolerance and genetic and epigenetic variations in a somatic hybrid between Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam. and I. triloba L.

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2017
The somatic hybrid KT1 was previously obtained from protoplast fusion between sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) cv. Kokei No. 14 and its wild relative I. triloba L. However, its genetic and epigenetic variations have not been investigated.

Heterosis as investigated in terms of polyploidy and genetic diversity using designed Brassica juncea amphiploid and its progenitor diploid species. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Fixed heterosis resulting from favorable interactions between the genes on their homoeologous genomes in an allopolyploid is considered analogous to classical heterosis accruing from interactions between homologous chromosomes in heterozygous plants of a

Structural Variations Contribute to Subspeciation and Yield Heterosis in Rice

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Yield heterosis has been extensively exploited in hybrid breeding, with intersubspecific hybrids often exhibiting the most pronounced effects. However, developing elite hybrids remains a laborious and time‐consuming process. The genetic basis of heterosis has been debated for over a century, hindered largely by the lack of high‐quality genomes.

Heterosis in cowpealandraces from Ghana

open access: yes, 1999
Four crosses involving five local accessions of cowpea were evaluated to determine the amount of heterosis for maturity date, seed yield, and components of yield.

Identifying changes in the wheat kernel proteome under heat stress using iTRAQ

open access: yesCrop Journal, 2018
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the three major global food crops. High-temperature stress can affect its yield and quality. Studies of the effect of high-temperature stress on wheat kernel development are important because they can reveal the ...

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

open access: yesPlant 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.

Heterosis analysis of 401 hybrids.

open access: yes, 2023
Mid-parent value is the average best linear unbiased estimates (BLUE) of mesocotyl length of parents of the hybrids. d-value is the difference of BLUE between hybrid and its mid-parent value.

Screening for Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) Resistance in Early‐Maturing Tropical Maize Adapted to Sub‐Saharan Africa

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

Assessment of Pollen Production, Pollen Viability, Autofertility and Paternal Success in Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) for Better Exploitation of Grain Yield Heterosis

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In animal‐pollinated plants, pollen dispersal depends on several plant and animal characteristics that can influence the paternal success of a plant. Paternal success affects the genetic contribution of a genotype to the next generation, which is relevant to plant breeding.

Overexpression of IbMIPS1 gene enhances salt tolerance in transgenic sweetpotato

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture, 2016
: Myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase (MIPS) is a key rate limiting enzyme in the de novo biosynthesis of myo-inositol in plants. In the present study, the IbMIPS1 gene was introduced into sweetpotato cultivar Xushu 18 and the transgenic plants exhibited ...
