Smart double‐screening system of propagating male‐sterile lines for maize hybrid seed production

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The Seed and Seedling Marker Method double‐screening system for maize hybrid seed production integrates Ms45‐mediated fertility restoration, Mn1/Sh1‐RNAi‐based seed selection, and Lc‐based seedling selection. It thus enables efficient, high‐purity propagation of male‐sterile lines by combining fertility maintenance with sequential visual selection at ...

Ectopic Expression of ScALDH21 From a Desert Moss Enhances Cotton Resistance to Verticillium Wilt via the Modulation of Jasmonates and Phenylpropanoid Pathways

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic stresses, particularly Verticillium wilt (VW), lead to a global decline in cotton yields. Here, we demonstrate that ectopic expression of ScALDH21, a gene from the desiccation‐tolerant moss Syntrichia caninervis Mitt. and absent in angiosperms, enhances cotton's resistance to VW.

GhTTLL12 Coordinates With Transcriptional Regulators GhMML3 and GhMYB86 to Orchestrate Cotton Fibre Development Through Modulating Microtubule Dynamics

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microtubules (MTs) are crucial for cell division, growth, development and morphogenesis in plants. Cotton fibres are single‐celled trichomes that originate from the epidermal cells of the ovule, making them an excellent model for studying plant cell differentiation and rapid elongation.
