Small RNAs in plants: recent development and application for crop improvement [PDF]
, 2015 The phenomenon of RNA interference (RNAi) which involves sequence specific gene regulation by small non-coding RNAs i.e small interfering RNA (siRNA) and micro RNA (miRNA) has emerged as one of most powerful approaches for crop improvement. RNAi based on

“Bud to bloom”—hormonal coordination in floral initiation
Plant Biology, Volume 27, Issue 7, Page 1271-1284, December 2025.This review unpacks hormonal networks in flower development, revealing how ‘bud to bloom’ transitions shape yield and plant resilience. Abstract Hormones have a dominant role in shaping the destiny of plant reproduction. Recent breakthroughs in our understanding of hormone function during floral development have revealed the pivotal roles of cytokinin,

Twenty years of cucurbit breeding research at the World Vegetable Center
Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 6, November/December 2025.Abstract The contribution of cucurbit crops to global food and nutrition security is immense. They are economically and nutritionally important to smallholder farmers in Asia, who account for 81% of global cucurbit production. World Vegetable Center (WorldVeg) has been focused for 20 years on four species: bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), ridge ...

HortScience, 1983 Abstract Methyl-2-chloro-9-hydroxyfluorene-(9)-carboxylate (chlorflurenol) effectively promoted parthenocarpic fruit development in gynoecious pickling cucumbers, Cucumis sativus L. Treatment with chlorflurenol increased yields of fruits under both greenhouse and open-field conditions.
