Developmental Stages of Microspore Viability in Two Madura Maize Cultivars Revealed by Tassel Length and Anther Destruction Duration

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Accelerating pure line formation in hybrid maize breeding can be achieved through microspore culture. This study aimed to determine the optimal tassel length and anther destruction duration to produce the highest number of viable microspores in two Madura local maize cultivars. A factorial completely randomized design (CRD) was applied with two factors:

Risks for human health related to the presence of plant lectins in food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
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.

Intracellular delivery of fluorescent protein into viable wheat microspores using cationic peptides

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Microspores are specialized generative cells with haploid genome that demonstrate the amenability towards embryogenesis under certain conditions. The induced microspore culture technique is largely exploited by the breeding programs of wheat and other ...

MicroRNAs‐mediated heat stress regulations in plants: Mechanisms and targets

The Plant Genome, Volume 18, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Heat stress, exacerbated by global warming, can cause significant challenges to agriculture, adversely impacting plant growth, reproduction, and yield. This review examines the crucial role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in mediating plant responses to heat stress across various key crops, including Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), rice (Oryza ...

CLE19 suppresses brassinosteroid signaling output via the BSL‐BIN2 module to maintain BES1 activity and pollen exine patterning in Arabidopsis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 3216-3230, December 2025.
Antagonistic crosstalk between the microspore‐derived CLE19 peptide and brassinosteroid signaling preserves pollen developmental homeostasis in Arabidopsis. CLE19 activates a protein phosphatase—kinase cascade to phosphorylate the transcription factor BES1, triggering its inactivation and suppressing brassinosteroid signaling outputs, thereby fine ...

The Epigenetic Regulation of Agronomic Traits and Environmental Adaptability in Brassicas

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 12, Page 8915-8927, December 2025.
ABSTRACT As essential sources of vegetables, oilseeds, and forage, Brassica crops exhibit complex epigenetic regulation mechanisms involving histone modifications, DNA modifications, RNA modifications, noncoding RNAs, and chromatin remodelling. The agronomic traits and environmental adaptability of crops are regulated by both genetic and epigenetic ...

“Bud to bloom”—hormonal coordination in floral initiation

Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 7, Page 1271-1284, December 2025.
This review unpacks hormonal networks in flower development, revealing how ‘bud to bloom’ transitions shape yield and plant resilience. Abstract Hormones have a dominant role in shaping the destiny of plant reproduction. Recent breakthroughs in our understanding of hormone function during floral development have revealed the pivotal roles of cytokinin,

A Brief History of Canola Genetic Gains: From Classical Breeding to Genome Editing

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Canola exemplifies the transformation of a crop from industrial use to a globally significant edible oilseed through sustained genetic and biotechnological innovation. Historically, rapeseed was characterized by high erucic acid and glucosinolate contents, restricting its use primarily to industrial applications.

The effect of phytosulfokine alpha on haploid embryogenesis and gene expression of Brassica napus microspore cultures

Frontiers in Plant Science
Microspore embryogenesis (ME) is the most powerful tool for creating homozygous lines in plant breeding and molecular biology research. It is still based mainly on the reprogramming of microspores by temperature, osmotic and/or nutrient stress.
