Heterosis and inbreeding depression for yield and its components traits in barley (Hordeum vulgare)

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020
Heterosis and inbreeding depression was analysed using a set of diallel crosses involving 10 diverse parents (excluding reciprocals). Heterosis over standard parent for grain yield per plant ranged from -9.65–45.45 (%) and -14.78–12.05 (%) under normal ...

Analysis of Re-Heterosis for Yield and Fruit Quality in Restructured Hybrids, Generated from Crossings among Tomato Recombinant Lines

Agronomy, 2021
Randomized complete block design was used, with three replications. Heterosis for yield and fruit quality characteristics was studied, and expressed as Relative heterosis, heterobeltiosis and Standard heterosis.

Assessment of combining ability and standard heterosis through diallel analysis in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.)

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding
Sesame is a drought tolerant oilseed crop with highest oleic acid content, which is yet to be explored for its hybrid vigour. With the view of producing elite hybrids, combining ability in sesame was studied among five sesame genotypes through diallel analysis.

Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins in crops: Advances in functional mechanisms and breeding applications

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Pentatricopeptide repeat proteins coordinate nucleus‐organelle communication by modulating RNA metabolism within chloroplasts and mitochondria. This review highlights how they control critical processes like photosynthesis, seed development, fertility restoration, and stress survival in crops, and explores their potential as programmable tools for RNA ...

HSP101‐encoding NEO‐TETRAPLOID RICE FERTILITY GENE 1 regulates tapetum development through interaction with SAPK2 in polyploid rice

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In neo‐tetraploid rice, the NTRF1–SAPK2 heat shock protein–kinase module coordinates abscisic acid signaling with reactive oxygen species homeostasis to ensure timely tapetal programmed cell death and subsequent pollen maturation, providing a resource for the genetic improvement of polyploid rice.

PanGraphRNA: An efficient and flexible bioinformatics platform for graph pangenome‐based RNA‐seq data analysis

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
PanGraphRNA is an easy‐to‐use platform that improves RNA‐seq analysis by using graph pangenomes instead of a single reference genome. It increases read alignment accuracy, detects important genes missed by traditional methods, and works across major crops, helping researchers obtain more reliable transcriptome results for diverse plant research and ...
