Combining ability, floral biology, and seed producibility of promising cytoplasmic male-sterile (CMS) lines for hybrid rice developmentThe floral traits found to be significantly associated with outcrossing rate are useful selection criteria not only for identifying economically usable CMS lines but also ...
Transcription factors (TFs) uniquely exhibit “multi-point regulation,” in which they simultaneously participate in regulating the expression of several key genes in a given metabolic pathway-related gene cluster, leading to the regulation of secondary metabolites. This phenomenon makes up for the insu...
Mutation scanning technology has been used to develop crop species with improved traits. Modifications that improve screening throughput and sensitivity would facilitate the targeted mutation breeding of crops. Technical innovations for high-resolution m

Considerable progress has been made in the molecular dissection of CMS and fertility restoration in plants. Many novel chimeric mitochondrial genes have been identified and are responsible for CMS through a variety of mechanisms (such as urf13 from maize, pcf from petunia, orf79/orfH79 from rice...
