A Computer Vision‐Based Methodology to Estimate Fruit Colour Diversity in Ornamental Pepper (Capsicum spp.)

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fruit colour diversity within different ripening stages confers ornamental value for pepper plants. Using images can be helpful in analysing the fruit colour‐related genetic diversity and enable selecting accessions for ornamental purposes by avoiding subjectiveness.

Large-Scale Analysis of Combining Ability and Heterosis for Development of Hybrid Maize Breeding Strategies Using Diverse Germplasm Resources

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Understanding combining ability and heterosis among diverse maize germplasm resources is important for breeding hybrid maize (Zea mays L.). Using 28 temperate and 23 tropical maize inbreds that represent different ecotypes and worldwide diversity of ...

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

Plant 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.

Comparing Cold Tolerance of sorghum (S. bicolor) A1 and A2 Cytoplasm‐Based Hybrids

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Systematic exploitation of heterosis via breeding of F1 hybrids is a major contributor to genetic gain in many major crops, including sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench). Different cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) systems have been identified for controlled F1 hybrid seed production in sorghum, with the so‐called A1 and A2 CMS systems being ...

Genetic variability and heterotic groups of Brazilian popcorn populations

Euphytica, 2007
The development of successful advanced lines and cultivars in maize is dependent on parental selection and assignment to defined heterotic groups. So, the objectives of this study were to evaluate genetic variability and identify heterotic groups among Brazilian popcorn varieties.

Beyond Starch: Towards a Scalable Potato Platform for Molecular Farming

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, Page 4619-4639, July 2026.
Re‐engineering potato as a biosafe and host‐optimised platform for plant molecular farming by integrating intrinsic biological traits with targeted engineering strategies. ABSTRACT Thirty‐five years after the first recombinant protein was produced in potato and 30 years after clinical trials of edible vaccines from its tubers, the crop is being ...

Identification of High‐Performing Extra‐Early Field Pea (Pisum sativum L.) Genotypes for Rice‐Rice Cropping Systems Using MGIDI and Multivariate Analysis

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The development of rice–rice farming systems in South Asia necessitates extra‐early maturing legumes that can fit into short planting windows without affecting yield productivity. This 2‐year study evaluates 43 extra‐early field pea (Pisum sativum L.) genotypes during two consecutive years at the Pulses Research Centre (PRC), Bangladesh ...

Optimum recombination rates for genetic gains in simulated recurrent selection in empirical maize populations

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Meiotic recombination creates new allelic combinations, but it also disrupts favorable parental haplotypes. Our objective was to assess if optimum recombination rates exist in elite maize (Zea mays L.) populations undergoing simulated short‐term and long‐term recurrent selection.

On Significance of Heterotic Group Theory in Hybrid Rice Breeding

Rice Science, 2010
Abstract Heterotic group theory (HGT) has played a major role in supporting hybrid maize breeding for about 100 years. The basic content and studies of HGT, and its application in rice and maize were summarized in this paper. Additionally, difficulties and challenges for hybrid rice breeding in China were analyzed, and necessity and urgency in hybrid

A new twist on heterotic string compactifications

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018
A rich pattern of gauge symmetries is found in the moduli space of heterotic string toroidal compactifications, at fixed points of the T-duality transformations. We analyze this pattern for generic tori, and scrutinize in full detail compactifications on
