Three closely linked X‐chromosomal genes potentially control sex determination in Cannabis sativa

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Sex determination mechanisms in dioecious plants remain poorly understood yet offer an excellent model system to study genetic changes underlying morphological evolution. We investigated the genetic basis of sex determination in Cannabis sativa, combining quantitative trait locus mapping in a segregating population, comparative transcriptomics ...

Ubiquitination‐Mediated Degradation of SlVPS29 by the SlHSFA7‐SlRNF185 Module Enhances Tomato Pollen Thermotolerance

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High temperature has posed significant challenges to global agriculture, markedly leading to reduced fertility and yield losses in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Therefore, thermotolerance‐conferring genes and loci are needed to further improve cultivated tomatoes.

Redundant Glycerol‐3‐Phosphate Acyltransferases Regulate Thermo‐Sensitive Genic Male Sterility in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thermo‐sensitive genic male sterility (TGMS) lines play a pivotal role in two‐line hybrid rice breeding. However, the availability of elite TGMS germplasm remains limited, and the molecular mechanisms underlying fertility transition of TGMS lines are still poorly understood.

Chromosome segregation in plant meiosis [PDF]

, 2014
Faithful chromosome segregation in meiosis is essential for ploidy stability over sexual life cycles. In plants, defective chromosome segregation caused by gene mutations or other factors leads to the formation of unbalanced or unreduced gametes creating

Assessment of Pollen Production, Pollen Viability, Autofertility and Paternal Success in Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) for Better Exploitation of Grain Yield Heterosis

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.

Comparing Cold Tolerance of sorghum (S. bicolor) A1 and A2 Cytoplasm‐Based Hybrids

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Systematic exploitation of heterosis via breeding of F1 hybrids is a major contributor to genetic gain in many major crops, including sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench). Different cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) systems have been identified for controlled F1 hybrid seed production in sorghum, with the so‐called A1 and A2 CMS systems being ...

Structure and development of male gametophyte in Carya illinoensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch

Caryologia, 2019
In order to understand the differentiation of staminate flowers of pecans (Carya illinoensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch), we carried out an integrated study of staminate flower development in a protogynous cultivar, Mahan, by assessing changes in external ...
