• As soybean is a self-pollinating crop, producing large quantities of hybrid seed by manual emasculation and cross-pollination is difficult and economically non-viable. (biomedcentral.com)
  • is a tropical and sub-tropical, vegetative-propagated crop that contributes to approximately 80% of the sugar and 40% of the world's biofuel production. (frontiersin.org)
  • This, together with its vegetative propagation, which allows for stable transfer and multiplication of transgenes, make sugarcane a good candidate for crop improvement through genetic engineering. (frontiersin.org)
  • The functional complementation of Arabidopsis mmd1 mutant with the soybean Ms4 gene produced normal stamens, successful tetrad formation, fertile pollens and viable seeds, whereas the Ms4_homolog was not able to restore male fertility. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The newly generated xxt3xxt4xxt5 mutant produces only XXGG-type XyGs, which further helps to understand the impact of structurally deficient polysaccharides on plant cell wall organization, growth, and development. (bvsalud.org)
