The ZmFKF1b‐ZmDi19‐5 Regulatory Module Coordinates Drought Tolerance and Flowering Time in Maize
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Drought is a major environmental stress that inhibits plant growth and reduces crop yields. The Di19 gene family is known to play a pivotal role in mediating plant responses to drought. However, the mechanisms by which Di19 proteins integrate drought response with developmental processes, particularly flowering time, remain largely unknown in ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and restorer of fertility (Rf) are important traits in F1 hybrid breeding. However, the CMS/Rf system has not been used in tomatoes because of the limited resources of Rf lines. In this study, we performed mutagenesis in tomato CMS seeds and successfully obtained 13 suppressor mutants with pollen fertility ...

Developing an Efficient System for Hybrid Rice Seed Production Using Partial Male Sterility
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Efficient production of hybrid rice seeds requires male sterility systems to overcome the challenges of self‐pollination. In this study, we identified male gametic transfer defect (GTrD)5 and GTrD9 as essential genes for the process of male gamete transmission in rice.
