Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 9, Page 3814-3823, September 2025.Summary Fruits with few or no seeds are favoured by consumers because they provide an improved eating experience alongside other important quality traits such as taste and shelf‐life. Gamma irradiation has been widely used to induce favourable trait changes in plants, including a reduction in seediness.

Auxin Gradients Determine Reproductive Development in Pea (Pisum sativum)
Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 5, September/October 2025.ABSTRACT Auxins are involved in the regulation of fruit set and development; however, the role of IAA is unclear in pea (Pisum sativum) since the endogenous auxin 4‐Cl‐IAA appears to be the auxin stimulating ovary (pericarp) growth. To further understand the role of auxins during fruit development, auxin localization, quantitation, transport, and gene ...

GCN5‐related histone acetyltransferase HOOKLESS2 regulates fungal resistance and growth in tomato
New Phytologist, Volume 246, Issue 3, Page 1217-1235, May 2025.Summary The functions of histone acetyltransferases (HATs) in the genetic control of crop traits and the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We studied the function of tomato HOOKLESS2 (SlHLS2), a member of the GCN5 family of HATs, through genetic, molecular and genomic approaches. Tomato hls2 mutants generated through CRISPR‐cas9 gene editing

GENETIC DIVERSITY IN PARTHENOCARPIC VARIETIES OF PUMPKIN (Cucurbita pepo L.) BY RAPD
Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems, 2018 Parthenocarpy is the ability of the ovary to develop without the need for the stimulation of pollination so that the fruit forms and grows normally until physiological or commercial maturity. In this study, 46 parthenocarpic varieties of squash (Cucubita

Enhancing entomophilous pollination for sustainable crop production
The Plant Journal, Volume 122, Issue 4, May 2025.SUMMARY Successful fertilization of insect‐pollinated crops hinges on a delicate interplay of olfactory and visual signals of pollinator attraction, the chemical complexity of nectar and pollen rewards, and the physical interaction between insects and flower anatomy for efficient pollen transfer.

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 67, Issue 4, Page 1086-1104, April 2025.This review examines how hormonal homeostasis integrates environmental/developmental signals to guide carbohydrate flow in rice grain filling and endosperm development. Genetic/transcriptional networks, explored through superior/inferior spikelet models, will help reveal targets to optimize grain filling and guide breeding high‐yield crops.

Male sterility‐induced parthenocarpy arose during tomato domestication
Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 2, March/April 2025.Abstract The huge diversity of cultivated tomatoes is the result of a long process of domestication followed by intensive breeding. Breeding efforts have been focused on increasing fruit size and on the diversification of fruit phenotypes. The formation of seedless (parthenocarpic) fruits in tomato plants is an interesting trait for growers, providing ...

Painting the diversity of a world's favorite fruit: A next generation catalog of cultivated bananas
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 263-283, January 2025.Bananas are nutritious fruits of major importance worldwide. Characterizing their diversity is essential to ensure their conservation and use. A catalog showcasing cultivated bananas genomic diversity was compiled and is to be used as a tool to support the classification of banana cultivars.
