Technological applications in agriculture have evolved substantially to increase crop yields
and quality to meet global food demand. Conventional techniques, such as seed saving …

Successful sexual reproduction often relies on the ability of plants to recognize self-or
genetically-related pollen and prevent pollen tube growth soon after germination in order to …

In the recent years, the agricultural world has been progressing towards integrated crop
protection, in the context of sustainable and reasoned agriculture to improve food security …

Self-incompatibility systems based on self-recognition evolved in hermaphroditic plants to
maintain genetic variation of offspring and mitigate inbreeding depression. Despite these …

Whole‐genome sequencing of non‐model organisms is now widely accessible and has
allowed a range of questions in the field of molecular ecology to be investigated with greater …

Self-incompatibility (SI) to self-compatibility (SC) transition is one of the most frequent and
prevalent evolutionary shifts in flowering plants. Prunus L.(Rosaceae) is a genus of over 200 …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are generated by different cellular compartments
through aerobic metabolic pathways, are generally considered to play dual roles in plants …

The sporophytic system of self-incompatibility is a widespread genetic phenomenon in plant
species, promoting out-breeding and maintaining genetic diversity. This phenomenon is of …

Reproductive barriers and directional geneflow may play a key role in maintaining genetic
gradients, thereby allowing ecological differentiation along ecological clines. In …

Comparative genomics of non-model organisms has resurrected whole genome duplication
