Transcriptome analysis of a stigma exsertion mutant in mungbean
Acta Agronomica Sinica: Stigma exsertion has been widely used in hybrid breeding as an excellent trait to improve crop outcrossing rate, seed purity, and seed production cost. As a closed-pollinated crop, few stigma exsertion mutants have been reported in mungbean.

Genetic architecture of a pollinator shift and its fate in secondary hybrid zones of two Petunia species. [PDF]
BMC Biol, 2023 Background: Theory suggests that the genetic architecture of traits under divergent natural selection influences how easily reproductive barriers evolve and are maintained between species.

Genetic mapping of quantitative trait loci for the stigma exsertion rate in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2017 The efficiency of hybrid rice seed production can be improved by increasing the percentage of exserted stigmas. To identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for this trait, we conducted QTL mapping using 75 chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs ...

Plant, Cell & Environment, 2018 High temperature (HT) is becoming an increasingly serious factor in limiting crop production with global climate change. During hot seasons, owing to prevailing HT, cultivated tomatoes are prone to exhibiting stigma exsertion, which hampers pollination ...

New QTLs involved in the control of stigma position in tomato [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Tomato mating systems were strongly affected by domestication events. Mutations disrupting self-incompatibility paralleled by changes retracting the stigma position (SP) within the staminal cone conferred strict autogamy and self-fertility to ...

Identification of candidate gene controlling TSSL via BSA-seq and fine mapping and germplasm innovation in rice [PDF]
BMC GenomicsStigma exsertion ratio (SER) of rice male sterile line directly affects the hybrid rice F1 seed production, while SER was directly affected by the total of stigma and style length (TSSL). To improve the F1 seed production, it is necessary to identify the

Transcriptional Analysis Reveals the Differences in Response of Floral Buds to Boron Deficiency Between Two Contrasting Brassica napus Varieties [PDF]
PlantsBoron (B) is an essential micronutrient for the development of crops, and its reproductive stage is particularly sensitive to B deficiency. Brassica napus L., as an important oil-crop species, is extremely vulnerable to B deficiency.

Pollen transfer efficiency in Erica depends on type of pollinator. [PDF]
PhytoKeysPollen transfer efficiency (PTE; the proportion of pollen removed from flowers that reaches conspecific stigmas) is expected to vary with the type of pollinator and flower morphology, and to influence male siring success.
