Scientists are a step closer to breeding plants with genes from only one parent. New research led by plant biologists at the University of California, Davis, published Nov. 19 in Science Advances, ...

Conventional crop breeding is not time-efficient for creating inbred lines with desired genetic traits owing to the diploid nature of plants, wherein they have two sets of chromosomes, one from each ...

Anther culture has emerged as a pivotal technique in rice (Oryza sativa L.) breeding, offering a rapid route to homozygous line development and serving as a robust platform for genetic transformation.
