A Century of Understanding and Harnessing Heterosis

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heterosis has shaped modern plant breeding since Darwin's 19th century observations that outcrossing restores vigour lost through selfing. While 100 years old, its mechanistic basis and deployability remain actively debated. Classical models of dominance, overdominance and epistasis provided the foundation for hybrid breeding and converted ...

New Considerations on Meiosis, Affinity and Genomic Constitution in Aneuploids and Interploid Hybrids of Urochloa P. Beauv. (Brachiaria)

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The combination of polyploidy, apomixis and the formation of aneuploid and interploid hybrids makes the genus Urochloa an interesting system for investigating meiotic stability and genome behaviour in grasses. In this study, routine meiotic analysis and genomic in situ hybridization (GISH) were used to (i) evaluate meiosis in three hybrids of ...

Time‐series multi‐omics analysis of micronutrient stress in Sorghum bicolor reveals iron and zinc crosstalk and regulatory network conservation

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Overlap between Fe and Zn responsive gene regulatory networks (GRNs) were found, indicative of micronutrient crosstalk, and conservation of root and leaf GRNs and genes suggests strong constraint on homeostasis networks in plants. Abstract Micronutrient stress impacts growth, biomass production, and grain yield in crops.

Elevational patterns in plant breeding systems and pollen limitation in Afrotropical montane grasslands

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Hand‐pollination in Afromontane grasslands on Mount Cameroon showed mid‐elevation seed production peaks, summit pollen limitation and no selfing increase, indicating limited reproductive assurance. Abstract Plant reproduction along elevational gradients may be limited by insufficient pollination service, variation in selfing capacity or post ...

Field‐grown coastal dune plants exhibit similar survival, growth, and biomass in recycled glass substrate and natural beach sand

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...
