For decades,practical limitations and cost have created a bias in plant genetic studies toward species that tolerate self pollination.An important work by Chen et al.(2021)in this issue provides key tools to overcome ...

Many important crops(e.g.,tuber,root,and tree crops)are cross-pollinating.For these crops,no inbred lines are available for genetic study and breeding because they are self-incompatible,clonally propagated,or have a l...

Outcrossing rate is an important determinant of cytoplasmic male sterile(CMS)breeding and hybrid seed production for heterosis in soybean.Parental lines with a high outcrossing rate were screened for backcross breedin...
We thank Yolanda Noordijk for the isolation of DNA from all samples at Wageningen-UR and Elisa Banchi for her work on the genotyping of these samples with the 20 K Infinium SNP array at the Fondazione Edmund Mach;This work has been co-funded by the EU seventh Framework Programme by the FruitBreedomics project N°.265582:Integrated Approach for increasing breeding efficiency in fruit tree crops(www.FruitBreedomics.com).
Quantitative trait loci(QTL)mapping approaches rely on the correct ordering of molecular markers along the chromosomes,which can be obtained from genetic linkage maps or a reference genome sequence.For apple(Malus dom...
An investigation was carried out with three newly developed temperature sensitive genic male sterile (TGMS) lines for their floral traits, seed production potential and outcrossing ability in ten cross combinations....

Protogyny and delayed selfing are two mechanisms in facilitating outcrossing and increasing female and male function in self-compatible plant species. However, both mechanisms are rarely reported within a species. Her...
A total 61 clone parents and 320 open-pollination progenies from 8 clone individuals were identified by 12 polymorphic SSR loci.The result showed that the level of genetic diversity in progeny population was the same ...
Xanthorrhoea johnsonii is a long lived slow growing perennial understorey species, that produces a large quantity of passively dispersed seed every 3 - 5 years. Reproductive maturity is not reached until 20 - 30 years...
