Evaluation of Advanced Mutant Restorer Lines for Enhancing Outcrossing Rate and Hybrid Seed Production of Diverse Rice Cytoplasmic Male Sterile Lines

Agronomy, 2022
Hybrid rice seed production predominantly relies on the pollen ability of restorer lines and the stigma properties of the cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines.

Outcrossing and heterozygosity rates in tropical onion populations

Comunicata Scientiae, 2022
Outcrossing and heterogosity rates are important for defining genetic conservation and breeding strategies, and these estimates are quite rare to onion. The aim of this study was to estimate cross-pollination and heterozygosity rates in tropical onion populations to guide development of new varieties.

Genetic effects and plant architecture influences on outcrossing rate in soybean

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2019
Outcrossing rate is an important determinant of cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) breeding and hybrid seed production for heterosis in soybean. Parental lines with a high outcrossing rate were screened for backcross breeding to obtain the high outcrossing ...

Reconstruction of the High Stigma Exsertion Rate Trait in Rice by Pyramiding Multiple QTLs

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Asian cultivated rice is a self-pollinating crop, which has already lost some traits of natural outcrossing in the process of domestication. However, male sterility lines (MSLs) need to have a strong outcrossing ability to produce hybrid seeds by ...

Potential inbreeding in a small population of a mass flowering species, Xanthorrhoea johnsonii (Xanthorrhoaceae): is your mother my father? [PDF]

, 2012
Xanthorrhoea johnsonii is a long lived slow growing perennial understorey species, that produces a large quantity of passively dispersed seed every 3-5 years. Reproductive maturity is not reached until 20-30 years of age.

Outcrossing Rate and Genetic Variability in Mexican Race Avocado [PDF]

Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science, 2020
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. However, there is no information on outcrossing rate among Mexican race avocado genotypes (

Natural outcrossing rate in Vernonia galamensis

Plant Breeding, 2004
Abstract Vernonia galamensis is a potential new industrial crop growing wild in Ethiopia. The seed oil is rich in vernolic acid, an epoxy fatty acid, which is of interest for oleochemical uses. Basic information on the reproductive system of Vernonia is still very limited.

Competition between recombination and epistasis can cause a transition from allele to genotype selection [PDF]

, 2009
Biochemical and regulatory interactions central to biological networks are expected to cause extensive genetic interactions or epistasis affecting the heritability of complex traits and the distribution of genotypes in populations. However, the inference

Rate of Natural Outcrossing in Monoecious Cucumbers

HortScience, 1985
Abstract The rate of natural outcrossing in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) was measured at 3 locations in North Carolina, using the dominant allele for scab resistance as the marker gene. Outcrossing was measured within and between 1.5 m plots in isolation blocks.
