ABSTRACT Strigolactones (SLs) are root‐to‐shoot phytohormones that regulate tillering (branching) and root development. Sugar, as an essential energy substance and signalling molecule, plays a fundamental role in the growth and development of plants. However, the molecular mechanisms by which SL directly regulates sugar allocation to control tillering ...

ABSTRACT Plant defensins (PDFs) are cysteine‐rich antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that are important components of plant immunity. They occur constitutively in various plant tissues but are also upregulated upon stress. Therefore, these molecules are of great interest as markers for the diagnosis of early forest stress response in plants at the molecular

ABSTRACT Induction of apomixis, or clonal reproduction through seed, could economise commercial hybrid seed production and enable smallholder farmers to save and sow hybrid seed. Here, we demonstrate the synthetic induction of apomixis in two sorghum hybrids and show that the clonal hybrid seed can be maintained across multiple seed generations.

Developing an Efficient System for Hybrid Rice Seed Production Using Partial Male Sterility
ABSTRACT Efficient production of hybrid rice seeds requires male sterility systems to overcome the challenges of self‐pollination. In this study, we identified male gametic transfer defect (GTrD)5 and GTrD9 as essential genes for the process of male gamete transmission in rice.

ABSTRACT The CRISPR/Cas9 gene‐editing technology has been widely used in defining gene functions and crop improvement. However, some genes are essential for plant growth and development. Loss‐of‐function homozygous mutations in essential genes lead to plant death or sterility.

ABSTRACT Head rice yield (HRY) is a crucial quality trait that determines the final commodity yield and commercial value of rice. Conversely, chalkiness represents an undesirable appearance characteristic, significantly impairing rice marketability. Thus, developing rice germplasms with superior HRY and appearance traits is highly desirable for rice ...
