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.

Determination of the mating system of Tucumã palm using microsatellite markers [PDF]
Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2011 The Amazonian Tucumã palm (Astrocaryum aculeatum) produces edible fruit, traditionally consumed in indigenouscommunities and increasingly in urban centers. The species is incipiently domesticated and little studied, despite its growingeconomic importance

A Bayesian Approach to Inferring Rates of Selfing and Locus-Specific Mutation. [PDF]
, 2015 We present a Bayesian method for characterizing the mating system of populations reproducing through a mixture of self-fertilization and random outcrossing.

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.

Optimal neuromuscular performance requires motor neuron phosphagen kinases
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Motor neuron (MN) terminals in fruit flies, mice and humans contain phosphagen kinases, a key enzyme in their energy storage and buffering system. Here we knocked down the primary phosphagen kinase in fruit fly larvae (arginine kinase 1 (ArgK1)) but were surprised to find that MN endurance was unaffected.

Skim‐sequencing for genomic selection in wheat: a comparison of marker platforms
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract The promise of genomics‐assisted breeding relies on efficient, affordable, and abundant molecular markers. Leveraging modern sequencing technology, commercial laboratory products, and open‐source software, we demonstrate how ultra‐low whole‐genome sequencing coverage (skim‐seq, 0.05–0.10x) can be a viable marker platform. The direct generation

Outcrossing rates in a natural stand and in a seed orchard of Pinus peuce
Annals of Forest Research, 2013 The mating system parameters were studied in a natural stand and in a seed orchard of the Balkan endemic, Pinus peuce Griseb. bymeans of isozyme gene markers. The results indicate that the multilocus estimates of the outcrossing rates are low relative to

, 2019 Predicted genetic consequences of asexuality include high intraindividual genetic diversity (i.e., the Meselson effect) and accumulation of deleterious mutations (i.e., Muller’s Ratchet), among others.

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Northern Wild Rice (NWR; Zizania palustris L.) is an aquatic grain endemic to North America and a member of the Oryzeae tribe. As an outcrossing crop with a short breeding history, domestication progress in cultivated NWR (cNWR) is ongoing, and seed shattering remains a major barrier to yield stability.
