Latitudinal trends in mating system traits in the highly self-fertilizing Lobelia inflata revealed by community science. [PDF]
Lobelia inflata is completely selfing in several populations in the north of its range, which we hypothesize is the result of selection for reproductive assurance under mate limitation at range margins. By scoring community science images for a morphological trait that indicates outcrossing capacity (exsertion of the floral style), we find that ...

Targeted manipulation of grain shape genes effectively improves outcrossing rate and hybrid seed production in rice. [PDF]
Summary Stigma exsertion rate (SER) of the male sterile line is a key limiting factor for hybrid seed production in rice. Although a large number of quantitative trait loci associated with SER have been reported, few genes have been molecularly cloned and functionally characterized, severely hindering the genetic improvement of SER of the male sterile ...

Genome-wide Association Analyses Reveal the Genetic Basis of Stigma Exsertion in Rice. [PDF]
Stigma exsertion, a key determinant of the rice mating system, greatly contributes to the application of heterosis in rice. Although a few quantitative trait loci associated with stigma exsertion have been fine mapped or cloned, the underlying genetic architecture remains unclear.

ATP-Binding Cassette G Transporters SGE1 and MtABCG13 Control Stigma Exsertion [PDF]
Stigma exsertion is an important agricultural trait that facilitates the application of heterosis in crop breeding. Although several quantitative trait loci associated with stigma exsertion have been fine-mapped or cloned, the underlying genetic basis, particularly in legumes, remains unclear. In this study, we identified and characterized the exserted

GS3 participates in stigma exsertion as well as seed length in rice
Stigma exsertion is an important trait that contributes to the improvement of seed production in hybrid rice. We demonstrate that GS3, one of the genes regulating seed length, also regulates stigma length and participates in stigma exsertion in rice. GS3 mRNA is expressed in the basal part of the young stigma, and a nonsense mutation in the second exon

Pollinator-Mediated Interactions Affect Patterns of Selection on Floral Traits of Co-Flowering Plants. [PDF]
This study shows that the loss of the flowering‐dominant R. tanguticus in alpine communities can intensify selection on floral attractive traits of co‐flowering plants, independent of the nature of interspecific interactions. This highlights the evolutionary consequences of changes in community composition and biotic interactions in response to ...
