It has long been recognized that hybridization and polyploidy are prominent processes in
plant evolution. Although classically recognized as significant in speciation and adaptation …

Since the basic biochemical mechanisms of photosynthesis are remarkably conserved
among plant species, genetic modification approaches have so far been the main route to …

New breeding technologies accelerate germplasm improvement and reduce the cost of
goods in seed production,–. Many such technologies could use in vivo paternal haploid …

Heterosis utilization in a large proportion of crops depends on the use of cytoplasmic male
sterility (CMS) tools, requiring the development of homozygous fertile lines and CMS lines …

Maize mutants of the centromeric histone H3 (CENP-A/CENH3) gene can form haploids that
inherit only chromosomes of the pollinating parent but the cytoplasm from the female parent …

Haploid production by outcrossing with inducers is one of the key technologies to
revolutionize breeding. A promising approach for develo** haploid inducers is by …

Chloroplasts are organelles that are derived from a photosynthetic bacterium and have their
own genome. Genome editing is a recently develo** technology that allows for specific …

The abundant repeats in plant mitochondrial genomes can cause rapid genome
rearrangements and are also a major obstacle in short‐read sequencing studies. Nuclear …

Due to the endosymbiotic origin of organelles, a pattern of coevolution and coadaptation
between organellar and nuclear genomes is required for proper cell function. In this review …

Improvement of photosynthetic traits in crops to increase yield potential and crop resilience
has recently become a major breeding target. Synthetic biology and genetic technologies …
