Flavonoid Biosynthesis Pathway May Indirectly Affect Outcrossing Rate of Cytoplasmic Male–Sterile Lines of Soybean [PDF]
Plants, 2023 (1) Background: Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is important for exploiting heterosis. Soybean (Glycine max L.) has a low outcrossing rate that is detrimental for breeding sterile lines and producing hybrid seeds.

Brassinosteroid and jasmonic acid pathways mediate the effect of high temperature on the outcrossing rate of photo-thermo-sensitive genic male-sterile rice lines [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground The development and widespread adoption of hybrid rice have significantly contributed to global food security. However, the relatively high cost of hybrid seeds remains a limiting factor for its broader application.

Mutation in HER1 enhances stigma exsertion and hybrid seed production in rice [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsHybrid rice has achieved a significant leap in rice yield, but the low outcrossing rate of sterile lines limits hybrid seed production due to rice’s self-pollinating habits, constraining the further development and widespread adoption of hybrid rice ...

Mating system of Datura inoxia: association between selfing rates and herkogamy within populations [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Plant mating system determines, to a great extent, the demographic and genetic properties of populations, hence their potential for adaptive evolution. Variation in plant mating system has been documented between phylogenetically related species as well ...

How and When Does Outcrossing Occur in the Predominantly Selfing Species Medicago truncatula?
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Empirical studies on natural populations of Medicago truncatula revealed selfing rates higher than 80%, but never up to 100%. Similarly, several studies of predominantly selfing species show variability in the level of residual outcrossing between ...

Mutation accumulation in a selfing population: consequences of different mutation rates between selfers and outcrossers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Currently existing theories predict that because deleterious mutations accumulate at a higher rate, selfing populations suffer from more intense genetic degradation relative to outcrossing populations.

Gene flow in genetically modified wheat. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Understanding gene flow in genetically modified (GM) crops is critical to answering questions regarding risk-assessment and the coexistence of GM and non-GM crops. In two field experiments, we tested whether rates of cross-pollination differed between GM
