Hidden Stigmas Enhance Heat Resilience: A Novel Breeding Trait for Sustaining Rice Spikelet Fertility Under Nocturnal Heat Stress

Agronomy
Heat stress during the flowering stage induces a remarkable decrease in rice spikelet fertility, mainly due to poor pollination manifesting as insufficient pollen deposited on the stigma.

Interspecific Pollen Transfer, Gene Flow, and Speciation in Bat-Pollinated Burmeistera H. Karst. & Triana (Campanulaceae: Lobelioideae) [PDF]

, 2022
The evolutionary success of angiosperms has been largely influenced by their interactions with animal pollinators, which provide pollen and gene transport between individuals, populations, and young diverging species.

Breeding of the Dormant Thermosensitive Genic Male-Sterile Lines of Early Rice to Overcome Pre-Harvest Sprouting of the Hybrid Seeds

Agronomy, 2018
The pollen development of male-sterile lines should be conducted during the high temperature season to ensure the sterility of male-sterile line pollen and the safety of hybrid seed production in the breeding of thermosensitive genic male-sterile (TGMS ...

Development of a RAD-Seq Based DNA Polymorphism Identification Software, AgroMarker Finder, and Its Application in Rice Marker-Assisted Breeding [PDF]

, 2016
Rapid and accurate genome-wide marker detection is essential to the marker-assisted breeding and functional genomics studies. In this work, we developed an integrated software, AgroMarker Finder (AMF: http://erp.novelbio.com/AMF), for providing graphical

FRUITFULL2 controls tomato fertility through style length and pollen quality

Horticultural Plant Journal
Tomato reproductive success and yield are particularly vulnerable to the negative effect of heat stress leading to stigma exsertion (protrusion) and lower pollen viability, both interfering with fertilization.

Floral shape and color impact heat accumulation and thermal stability of the floral microenvironment in a subalpine meadow

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Premise The floral thermal microenvironment impacts plant reproduction through its effects on gametophyte performance and plant–pollinator interactions. Color and shape are axes of floral variation that may mediate floral temperature because they affect the absorption and reflection of solar radiation, but their interactive effects are unclear.

Selection maintains floral color polymorphism in scarlet paintbrush, Castilleja coccinea, reflecting combined ecological factors

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Premise Evolutionary theory predicts polymorphism should be rare; however, intraspecific variation in floral color is common and can be attributed to genetic drift, plasticity, or variable selection. Examining floral color polymorphism both within contact zones and across a species' range can reveal the mechanisms maintaining this variation ...

Genome-wide association study of outcrossing in cytoplasmic male sterile lines of rice

Scientific Reports, 2017
Stigma exsertion and panicle enclosure of male sterile lines are two key determinants of outcrossing in hybrid rice seed production. Based on 43,394 single nucleotide polymorphism markers, 217 cytoplasmic male sterile lines were assigned into two ...
