Integrated characterization of Greek fennel genotypes through morpho‐agronomical characteristics, yield components and phytochemical compounds

JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 91-103, March 2025.
Abstract Background Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) is a widely cultivated vegetable and aromatic‐medicinal plant. In this research, field studies assessed 12 fennel genotypes of diverse origin, comprising 10 Greek accessions and two European commercial varieties, focusing on their morpho‐agronomical traits, phenolic compounds and antioxidant ...

Speciation with gene flow

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Biodiversity is threatened by human activities, with extinction debt accumulating rapidly. Many of these activities change the connectivity of populations, fragmenting existing population systems or bringing previously isolated populations or species into contact.

ESTIMATION OF STANDARD HETEROSIS FOR REPRODUCTIVE TRAITS IN NEWLY SYNTHESIZED TEST RICE (Oryza sativa L.) HYBRIDS

Bangladesh Journal of Plant Breeding and Genetics, 2015
An experiment was carried to estimate heterotic performances of newly developed test hybrids utilizing CMS system during Rabi 2011 using RCBD design. Five known CMS lines and sixteen developed R-lines were crossed through line × tester analysis. Eighty test hybrids were developed.

Transcriptomic stress responses in Vaccinium spp. F1 hybrids: Implications for temperature‐resilient cranberry breeding using a crop wild relative

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate extremes threaten the sustainability of cranberry production, a culturally and economically important North American crop. This study demonstrates that wild cranberries (Vaccinium oxycoccos) harbor genetic variation that may enhance cold stress resilience when introduced into cultivated cranberry through hybridization.

Estimates of combining ability and standard heterosis for grain yield and various agromorphological traits in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Journal of Applied and Natural Science, 2017
A study was conducted for estimating combining ability and standard heterosis for grain yield and various agromorphological traits involving 10 parents and their 45 F1s (half diallel) during 2012-13 and 2013-14. The results of present investigation revealed that additive gene action played a predominant role in the inheritance of most of the traits ...

Study on Standard Heterosis for Yield, Quality and its Attributing Characters in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Hybrids under Aerobic Cultivation

Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology, 2020
Field experiments were conducted for development and evaluation of aerobic rice hybrids during2015-16 to 2016-17 years. In the first experiment sufficient amount of variability was observed for grain yield per plant and its components among 125 genotypes evaluated in aerobic condition.

Breeding for multi‐stress resilience in crops: Myth or possibility?

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Climate change threatens millions of farmers worldwide by exposing crops to multiple concurrent or sequential environmental stresses such as drought, heat, waterlogging, and diseases. Although crops have long been selected under naturally occurring multi‐stress conditions, breeding pipelines largely focus on optimal or single‐stress environments ...

Harnessing heterosis in eggplant (Solanum melongena L.)

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding
A study was undertaken to examine the extent of heterosis and to identify promising parents and superior crosses in eggplant for yield and its component traits. The experiment consisted of 36 hybrids generated by half diallel mating, nine parents and a
