ABSTRACT A key challenge for the genetic improvement of canola (Brassica napus), one of the world's most important oilseeds, is the limited natural variation for commercially important traits. The creation of new variation is hindered by the lack of functional knowledge about genes controlling these traits.

Imaging of Molecular and Developmental Responses to Abiotic Stresses in Reproductive Tissues
ABSTRACT Abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures, have profound effects on plant reproduction, often leading to reduced fertility and yield. Reproduction in plants involves complex interactions between diverse cells, necessitating spatiotemporal resolution to understand how stress impacts each component of this intricate ...

Induction of embryogenesis in Brassica rapa L. isolated microspore culture
The creation of F1 hybrids combining high productivity, valuable biochemical composition and resistance to biotic and abiotic environmental factors is an urgent area of work with Brassicaceae Burnett.To create a homogeneous, genetically stable source ...

ABSTRACT Abiotic stress, particularly heat and drought, significantly impacts plant reproductive development, threatening crop productivity and food security. Understanding stress tolerance mechanisms requires a multi‐level approach that integrates physiological, biochemical, and molecular traits in different experimental settings. This review explores

Microspores can be developmentally reprogrammed by the application of different stress treatments to initiate an embryogenic pathway leading to the production of doubled haploid (DH) plants. Epigenetic modifications are involved in cell reprogramming and

SUMMARY The molecular and genetic mechanisms regulating female germline development remain largely unknown in basal and early‐divergent angiosperms. This contrasts with recent progress in model eudicots such as Arabidopsis thaliana and monocots, such as rice, barley, and maize. In this study, we investigate the genetic pathway governing female germline

Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food
Abstract The European Commission asked the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to assess the risk related to the presence of plant lectins in food. Based on the available evidence, the CONTAM Panel considered only phytohaemagglutinin (PHA), a legume lectin from beans (Phaseolus sp.), for the risk characterisation.

Differential Expression Profiling Reveals Stress-Induced Cell Fate Divergence in Soybean Microspores
Stress-induced microspore embryogenesis is a widely employed method to achieve homozygosity in plant breeding programs. However, the molecular mechanisms that govern gametophyte de- and redifferentiation are understood poorly.

Brassica napus Haploid and Double Haploid Production and Its Latest Applications
Rapeseed is one of the most important oil crops in the world. Increasing demand for oil and limited agronomic capabilities of present-day rapeseed result in the need for rapid development of new, superior cultivars.
