Hybridity of mainly asexually propagating duckweeds in genus Lemna - dead end or breakthrough? [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary The cosmopolitan, mainly vegetatively propagating, organ‐reduced monocotyledonous aquatic duckweeds are the smallest and fastest growing angiosperms, distributed world‐wide and flower rarely in nature. Recently, we reported intra‐ and interspecific hybrids and ploidy variants in the genus Lemna.

Banana breeding by genome design. [PDF]

J Integr Plant Biol
Bananas and plantains likely originated from hybridizations of four wild Musa species. This review highlights advances in banana genomics, genetics, and breeding, emphasizing genome sequencing breakthroughs and genomic‐assisted tools like selection and gene editing, and explores future prospects for improving key agronomic traits.

Male sterility‐induced parthenocarpy arose during tomato domestication

Physiologia Plantarum
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.

Auxin Gradients Determine Reproductive Development in Pea (Pisum sativum). [PDF]

Physiol Plant
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 ...

Genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying the parthenocarpic fruit mutation in tomato [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Parthenocarpy allows fruit set independently of fertilization. In parthenocarpic-prone tomato genotypes, fruit set can be achieved under pollen-limiting environmental conditions and in sterile mutants.

Morphological Changes to Fruit Development Induced by GA₃ Application in Sweet Cherry (Prunus avium L.) [PDF]

Plants
Cherry (Prunus avium) fruits are important sources of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in the human diet; however, they contain a large stone, making them inconvenient to eat ‘on the move’ and process. The exogenous application of gibberellic acid (GA3)

Decoding the molecular mechanism of parthenocarpy in Musa spp. through protein–protein interaction network

Scientific Reports, 2021
Banana, one of the most important staple fruit among global consumers is highly sterile owing to natural parthenocarpy. Identification of genetic factors responsible for parthenocarpy would facilitate the conventional breeders to improve the seeded ...

Selection of cucumber for parthenocarpy for spring greenhouses

Овощи России, 2022
Scientific relevance. Currently, in the protected ground, the main areas are occupied by parthenocarpic hybrids of cucumber of foreign origin. Therefore, the selection of domestic cucumber hybrids of the parthenocarpic type is very relevant.Material and ...
