Experimental evolution suggests rapid assembly of the ‘selfing syndrome’ from standing variation in Mimulus guttatus

Frontiers in Plant Science
Ecological and evolutionary changes are likely to occur rapidly when outcrossing populations experience pollinator loss. However, the number and identify of plant traits that will respond to this form of selection, as well as the overall predictability ...

Genotypic Variation and Association Mapping for Plant Stature and Anthesis‐Silking Interval in Set of Temperate‐Adapted Maize Lines Developed by DH and SSD Methods

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT BS39 is a broad‐based population of tropical maize adapted to temperate environments that can provide useful and unique alleles to US Corn Belt breeding programmes. Doubled‐haploid (DH) has been used as an efficient alternative method to speed up the development of maize lines. Our objectives were to compare genetic parameters for plant height

Fine Mapping of qAL5.2 Controlling Anther Length in Oryza sativa

Plants
Anther length is the critical floral trait determining hybrid rice seed production and is controlled by many quantitative trait loci (QTL). However, the cloning of genes specifically controlling anther size has yet to be reported.

Assessment of Pollen Production, Pollen Viability, Autofertility and Paternal Success in Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) for Better Exploitation of Grain Yield Heterosis

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In animal‐pollinated plants, pollen dispersal depends on several plant and animal characteristics that can influence the paternal success of a plant. Paternal success affects the genetic contribution of a genotype to the next generation, which is relevant to plant breeding.

Outcrossing Rate and Fruit Yield of Hass Avocado Trees Decline at Increasing Distance from a Polliniser Cultivar

Agronomy
Optimal fruit production from many tree crops relies on the transfer of cross-pollen between trees of different cultivars rather than the transfer of self-pollen between trees of the same cultivar.

In Vivo Propagation of Root Explants of the Dandelion Species Taraxacum kok‐saghyz, Taraxacum officinale and Their Interspecific Hybrids

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dandelion species Taraxacum kok‐saghyz is a promising new crop for natural rubber production and is currently in the early stages of the breeding process. To support these efforts, the multiplication and conservation of defined genotypes are crucial.

Estimation of outcrossing rates in Koompassia malaccensts from an open-pollinated population in Peninsular Malaysia using microsatellite markers [PDF]

, 2011
Koompassia malaccensis (Leguminosae), locally known as kempas, is an important tropical timber species in South-East Asia. Although studies have shown that most tropical tree species are predominantly outcrossing, there is no empirical support for this ...

A Vertical Stacking Approach to Rapid Generation Cycling for Indoor Growth of Tall Annual Crops—The Case of Vicia faba L.

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accelerating breeding cycles through rapid generation turnover is a demonstrated strategy to improve the rate of genetic gain in a range of staple crops. This study presents a vertically stacked accelerated single‐seed descent (aSSD) protocol for faba bean (Vicia faba L.), aimed at rapid generation cycling while ensuring robust plant ...

Outcrossing Rate and Genetic Variability in Mexican Race Avocado

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2019
The blooming behavior of the avocado Persea americana Mill. is a sophisticated mechanism that prevents effective self-pollination, enables close pollination, and encourages cross-pollination.

Temporal genetic relationships between growth, development, and malting quality in winter barley (Hordeum vulgare) using aerial imagery

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Grain characteristics are the cumulative product of growth and development throughout the growing season. In barley (Hordeum vulgare), these traits determine the grain's value for malting purposes. The ability to accurately predict the genetic merit for malting quality is of great interest for barley breeding programs. Same‐season selection on
