Transcriptional Analysis Reveals the Differences in Response of Floral Buds to Boron Deficiency Between Two Contrasting Brassica napus Varieties [PDF]
Boron (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]
Pollen 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.

Ssr-based molecular profiling of selected donors of wide compatibility, elongated uppermost internode, stigma exsertion and submergence tolerance traits and parental lines of commercial rice (o. Sativa l.) Hybrids [PDF]
Molecular breeding plays an important role in sustainable agriculture development. Hybrid rice technology aims to increase the yield potential of rice beyond the level of inbred high-yielding varieties (HYVs) by exploiting the phenomenon of hybrid vigour

Molecular phylogeny and evolution of inflorescence types in Eperua
Abstract Premise The Amazonian hyperdominant genus Eperua (Fabaceae) currently holds 20 described species and has two strongly different inflorescence and flower types, with corresponding different pollination syndrome. The evolution of these vastly different inflorescence types within this genus was unknown and the main topic in this study. Methods We

In this study we quantified the natural hybridization under field conditions between wheat (Triticum aestivum) and two species of the wild relative Aegilops genus, A. geniculata and A. triuncialis, which are very abundant in the Mediterranean area. Abstract BACKGROUND Cultivated bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) spontaneously hybridizes with wild ...

Floral trait evolution mediated by pollinators is important in the diversification of flowering plants, yet few studies have demonstrated the range‐wide geographic variation in both floral traits and pollinators which represents a predicted precursor for pollinator‐mediated speciation.

Summary The evolution of hummingbird pollination is common across angiosperms throughout the Americas, presenting an opportunity to examine convergence in both traits and environments to better understand how complex phenotypes arise. Here we examine independent shifts from bee to hummingbird pollination in the Neotropical spiral gingers (Costus) and ...
