Two User-Friendly Molecular Markers Developed for the Identification of Hybrid Lethality Genes in Brassica oleracea

Agronomy, 2021
Cabbage (Brassica oleracea) is an important vegetable crop that is cultivated worldwide. Previously, we reported the identification of two dominant complementary hybrid lethality (HL) genes in cabbage that could result in the death of hybrids.

Challenges in Bringing Pangenome Research Into Breeding: A Case Study in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Crop breeding has entered the pangenomics era, unlocking a far more comprehensive view of genetic diversity than a single reference genome can capture. In rice (Oryza sativa), a staple crop critical to global food security, the construction of pangenome resources has uncovered extensive structural variations (SVs), presence/absence variations (

AhBWR15, A Novel RLK Gene, Confers Resistance to Ralstonia solanacearum in Peanut

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bacterial wilt (BW), a severe soil‐borne disease caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, significantly impedes global peanut production. Despite its impact, the mechanisms underlying BW resistance in peanut remain unclear. Herein, we selected the highly resistant variety Nongdahua108 (H108) and the susceptible variety Nongdahua107 (H107) to develop ...

Development and validation of functional kompetitive allele-specific PCR markers for herbicide resistance in Brassica napus

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Effective weed control in the field is essential for maintaining favorable growing conditions and rapeseed yields. Sulfonylurea herbicides are one kind of most widely used herbicides worldwide, which control weeds by inhibiting acetolactate synthase (ALS)

A PLETHORA3/7 transcription factor shapes cucumber shoot architecture

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 1, Page 230-245, April 2026.
Summary PLETHORA transcription factors (PLTs) are master regulators of plant development. Loss of shoot meristematic PLTs leads to reduced phyllotactic regularity and robustness in Arabidopsis and increased inflorescence branching in tomato. Whether these factors have similar functions in other species is not known.

Starch Synthase 3 isoforms are essential for normal starch granule initiation in wheat endosperm

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 2, Page 1075-1091, April 2026.
Summary Wheat grains have two distinct types of starch granules. Large, lenticular A‐type granules are formed from a single initiation per amyloplast during early grain development, while numerous small B‐type granules are initiated during later grain development.

Cannabichromene variation in hemp cultivars

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Cannabichromene (CBC) is a nonpsychoactive cannabinoid with pharmaceutical potential that is attracting significant interest for its potential therapeutic applications. However, the factors governing CBC production in Cannabis sativa remain largely unknown. This study aimed to investigate the variation in CBC accumulation within different Type

The progressive modernization of cassava breeding programs at International Institute of Tropical Agriculture and future prospects

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Modernizing cassava breeding programs (CBPs) is critical to increase genetic gain, close the yield gap, and ensure food availability, accessibility, and affordability to support livelihood transformation and economic development in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA).

Identification of chromosome‐specific simple sequence repeat markers to characterize the Langdon durum D‐genome disomic substitution lines

Crop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Genetic studies of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum [Desf.] Husnot.) provide valuable information for crop improvement. In the 1980s, D‐genome disomic chromosome substitution (DS) lines were developed, which involved the substitution of a pair of D‐genome chromosomes from hexaploid wheat (T.
