Genotypic Variation and Association Mapping for Plant Stature and Anthesis‐Silking Interval in Set of Temperate‐Adapted Maize Lines Developed by DH and SSD Methods

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT BS39 is a broad‐based population of tropical maize adapted to temperate environments that can provide useful and unique alleles to US Corn Belt breeding programmes. Doubled‐haploid (DH) has been used as an efficient alternative method to speed up the development of maize lines. Our objectives were to compare genetic parameters for plant height

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.

Protoplast‐Based Functional Genomics and Genome Editing: Progress, Challenges and Applications

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Protoplast‐based systems provide a powerful and versatile platform for exploring how plants sense and respond to their environment. By enabling the direct delivery of proteins, DNA, and RNA into plant cells after cell wall removal, this approach facilitates precise molecular dissection of signaling, stress adaptation, and gene regulation ...

Macronutrient composition in pollen affects development and survival in wild bees

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Small carpenter bees (Ceratina calcarata) were reared on diets formulated with black poplar and dandelion pollen, while closely monitoring developmental metrics, lipid content and survival. Macronutrient analyses on both pollen types revealed dandelion pollen contained lower levels of protein, essential amino acids and several fatty acids, which ...

Biodiversity and its restoration in limestone quarries: a review

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Limestone quarries impact natural areas, and they are spreading in relation to human population growth. Little is known about the impact of limestone quarries and their restoration on biodiversity. Objectives This review aims to provide an overview of how biodiversity is assessed in limestone quarries, how it impacts biodiversity,

Earlier reproductive phenology of restored grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Plants introduced to degraded ecosystems during restoration efforts often face novel environmental conditions. Consequently, plant functional traits can differ between restored and reference sites, even within the same species. Studies on such intraspecific variation mainly focused on vegetative traits, while the timing of life ...

Seed pretreatment length when producing seeds for restoration may impact seed dormancy in offspring

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Seed dormancy regulates germination timing to improve seedling survival. Many temperate species produce physiologically dormant seeds, requiring winter conditions (i.e. moist‐cold stratification) to overcome dormancy. Exposing seeds to suboptimal stratification lengths for restoration may alter genetic diversity and/or ...

Limited contribution by non‐volant small mammals to regeneration in ironstone rocky outcrops

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Animal‐mediated seed dispersal contributes substantially to natural regeneration in degraded areas. However, the role of seed dispersal by non‐volant small mammals (NVSM), mainly marsupials and rodents, in contributing to regeneration remains underexplored, especially in mountaintop, open‐canopy ecosystems.
