Apomictic grasses predominate among tropical forages, and specific breeding techniques are needed for their genetic improvement. The objectives were to: 1- generate hybrids by crossing tetraploid sexual and apomictic Pas...

Cultivated peanut is susceptible to several highly damaging pests, pathogens and abiotic stressors, largely due to its very narrow genetic base. However, a ploidy barrier exists between cultivated and highly resistant wi...

Abstract This study analyzes four decades (1980–2019) of cultivar registration in Argentina and its relationship with agricultural production trends, with focus on the complementary roles of the private sector and publ...

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] is one of the most important crops globally. Researchers have focused on enhancing soybean through genetic modification, leading to an extensive accumulation of publications and patents. ...

Silphium is being domesticated as a new perennial biomass and oilseed crop. As a consequence of selection toimprove yield, seedling´s growth and survival are expected to be affected indirectly. The phenotypic integratio...

Abstract Among oilseeds crops, Brassica napus L., is of great importance globally. The economic yield and harvest efficiency are significantly limited by seed shattering, which represents a persistent agronomic constrain...

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...

Meiotic recombination increases genetic diversity and manipulation of its frequency and distribution holds great promise in crop breeding. In Arabidopsis thaliana, FANCM (a homolog of mammalian Fanconi anemia complementa...

Wheat is the most widely grown food crop, with 761 Mt produced globally in 2020. To meet the expected grain demand by mid-century, wheat breeding strategies must continue to improve upon yield-advancing physiological tra...

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...

Phytotron-greenhouse complexes are widely used in breeding winter crops. Reducing the period of plant vernalization, including the use of in vitro culture will make it possible to obtain more than one generation over the...

ABSTRACT Repeatability allows an estimation of the number of evaluations needed to optimize the selection of superior genotypes, with consequent effects on the research costs in terms of financial and human resources. Th...

A hibridação interespecífica entre o caiaué (Elaeis oleífera (Kunth) Cortés) e o dendezeiro (E. guineensis Jacq.) tem sido explorada com o objetivo de desenvolver cultivares tão produtivas quanto as de dendezeiro,...

Turnip rape (Brassica rapa L. subsp. oleifera (DC.) Metzg.) is an important oilseed crop in the temperate climate zone. The article provides the results of a long-term study (2019–2024) on the variability of morpho-bio...

The paper analyses the spatial diversification of organic farming development in the gminas of the Lodzkie voivodeship in years 2008–2016. The level of the studied phenomenon was defined by a synthetic measure based on...

Abstract Background Passiflora germplasm, characterized by rich genetic diversity, play a pivotal role in the evolutionary history of tropical crops. With the expansion of commercial passion fruit cultivation, germplasm ...

Abstract Background Soil salinization severely restricts the growth and forage yield of Medicago sativa (alfalfa), a globally critical leguminous forage crop, yet the regulatory mechanisms governing its salt tolerance re...

Plasmodiophora brassicae, the obligate parasite responsible for clubroot in Brassica crops and other crucifers, poses a major challenge to sustainable disease management due to its biotrophic lifestyle and adaptability. ...

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...

Plants constitute the foundation of life on Earth, providing oxygen, food, and ecosystem services essential for human well-being. At the same time, they are among the most threatened components of biodiversity, with curr...

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...

Plants frequently encounter diverse abiotic stresses, which require precise transcriptional regulation to maintain basic survival plasticity. The BES1 transcription factor family, a key component of brassinosteroid (BR) ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) represent a key biological strategy for enhancing agricultural resilience under extreme climatic events such as drought. However, how AMF interact with drought-tolerant plant genotypes ...

Abstract Background Induced mutation through physical mutagens, such as gamma irradiation is an effective and complementary breeding tool to enhance crop improvement by increasing genetic variation and creating heritable...
