IntroductionMaize is a global commodity crop cultivated under monocropping systems and diverse environmental conditions. While different genotypes exist with various abilities to store carbon into tissues and into the so...

Despite their charismatic appeal and threatened conservation status, parrots of the genera Tanygnathus and Prioniturus remain poorly studied throughout their range. Their inconspicuous behaviour, elusive nature, and rari...

Abstract Background Terpenes and phenolic compounds are multifunctional plant metabolites that contribute to defense, signaling, and ecological interactions, while supporting industrial applications. Here, we implemented...

A study of selected blackcurrant seedlings bred in the Urals was conducted in the Sverdlovsk region (Middle Urals), and the most promising cultivars for mechanized harvesting were identified. The study subjects were 29 s...

The integration of underutilised orphan crops into food systems can reduce the reliance on major crops for global food security and support adaptation to climate change. Major crops are increasingly susceptible to climat...

Abstract Background Melissa officinalis (balm) is a perennial medicinal. Climate change and high cultivation costs necessitate the breeding of new cultivars with improved stress tolerance and high metabolite content. How...

Abstract This study introduces a multiplex high-resolution melting (mHRM) assay for efficient sex identification of Cannabis sativa L. using three MADC markers and nine SCAR markers. This method enables accurate and rapi...

IntroductionTiller production is a critical determinant of turfgrass canopy density and plant performance, yet manual tiller counting is too labor-intensive for large breeding programs.MethodsTo address this limitation, ...

Turmeric (Curcuma longa L.), propagated vegetatively, harbors limited genetic variability for breeding, prompting exploration of rare seed-derived half-sib progenies to generate novel recombinants. The present study inve...

The genetic diversity was analyzed among spotted paca (Agouti paca) from three commercial flocks located in Brazil. As the genome of this species is unknown, the RAPD-PCR technique was used. Ten primers generated sixty p...

Abstract Background Zanthoxylum armatum is a vital economic crop in China, but its cultivation is challenged by abiotic stresses like drought and cold. Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases (MAPKKs) are central signal...

Abstract Psammochloa villosa is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to tribe Stipeae (Poaceae). It is mainly distributed in the arid and sandy Inner Mongolia Plateau and adjacent areas, demonstrating remarkable resili...

Seed-yield stability, frequently associated with drought-tolerance strategies, is one of the main breeding objectives for the development of crops for semi-arid mediterranean-type environments. Since breeding of new indu...

La provincia de Jujuy es una de las provincias argentinas prioritarias para la conservación de la familia Cactaceae debido a su alta riqueza específica. Estas plantas mantienen poblaciones de distintos insectos fitófa...

Abstract Durum wheat breeding increasingly requires tools that can anticipate how genotypes respond to the shifting mix of heat and drought typical of Mediterranean drylands. In this study, we explored whether a multimod...

Line breeding programs of autogamous crops like barley and wheat are characterized by multiple crosses with high variability in cross means and segregation variances. From theory of order statistics, we derived formulas ...

BackgroundMango (Mangifera indica L.) is an economically important tropical fruit crop, yet the genomic diversity of mango germplasm from the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia—the country's primary production hub—remains ...

"The Helium Cooled Pebble Bed (HCPB) Breeding Blanket (BB) is one of the 4 BB concepts being investigated in the EU for their possible implementation in a demonstration nuclear fusion reactor (DEMO). The choice of He a...

El cultivo de girasol (Helianthus annuus L.) de origen norteamericano, es el segundo cultivo oleaginoso en importancia de la Argentina. El mejoramiento genético asociado a la implementación de tecnologías de producc...
