A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heterosis has shaped modern plant breeding since Darwin's 19th century observations that outcrossing restores vigour lost through selfing. While 100 years old, its mechanistic basis and deployability remain actively debated. Classical models of dominance, overdominance and epistasis provided the foundation for hybrid breeding and converted ...

Genetic Architecture of Southern Stem Canker Resistance in Elite Southern Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) Germplasm

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Southern stem canker (SSC), caused by the fungus Diaporthe aspalathi, is one of the major constraints to soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) production in the southern United States and South America. Genetic resistance is the most effective strategy for managing SSC; however, the genetic architecture underlying resistance in elite southern ...

Improved Autotetraploid Induction Methods in Four Diploid Wild Peanut Species: Arachis duranensis, A. stenosperma, A. magna, and A. batizocoi

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L., 2n = 4x = 40, AABB) is an important legume crop worldwide. Wild peanuts (Arachis spp.) represent a valuable secondary gene pool with diverse disease resistances. However, most wild peanut species are diploid (2n = 2x = 20) and this ploidy barrier is a major obstacle to hybridization and gene introgression.

Molecular Chaperone Networks in Plants: Maintaining Proteostasis and Enhancing Stress Resilience for Crop Improvement

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Molecular chaperones play a central role in the plant proteostasis machinery by aiding the folding of nascent proteins, preventing aggregation, and repairing or degrading damaged proteins. These functions are especially essential during abiotic and biotic stress, which can destabilise cellular proteins and disrupt metabolic homoeostasis.

Revealing the Key Genetic Basis of Late Leaf Spot Resistance in Peanut by Combining QTL Mapping, QTL‐seq and RNA‐seq

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Late leaf spot (LLS) is the most widespread and destructive fungal disease affecting peanut worldwide, yet relatively little is known about its genetic basis. In this study, QTL mapping using a 1327‐bin map (derived from 9533 SNP/InDel markers) and multi‐environment phenotypic data repeatedly detected two major LLS‐resistance QTLs on ...

Effects of crossing distance on components of fitness in two rare rock plants

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Crossing experiments between populations of the rare rock species Saxifraga rosacea ssp. rosacea (8×) and S. rosacea ssp. sponhemica (6×) resulted in heterosis for some traits and outbreeding depression for others. Crossing the two subspecies resulted in sterile hybrids indicating that mixing populations of rare species is not always beneficial ...
