TL;DR: The results demonstrated that the combined actions of the floral identity genes, specifically BnAP1, BNAP2, Bn AP3, BmAG1, and BnPI3, were responsible for causing the different kinds of flower abnormalities previously undescribed in oilseed rape.

TL;DR: The sequence and expression divergence between the homologous ALCATRAZ loci in Brassica napus, responsible for silique dehiscence, is shown and it is indicated that BnaC.ALC.a was detectable in the siliques of B. napus.

TL;DR: Results showed the successful generation of male‐sterile lines through the silencing of OsOPR7, the orthologous gene of Arabidopsis OPR3, in a field crop, paving the way for the establishment of a two‐line system for rice hybrid production.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors applied a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on seed oil content (SOC) in a collection of 290 core germplasm accessions and identified BnaC07g30920D, a patatin-like lipase (PTL) gene, that was associated with SOC.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied the genomic selection (GS) strategy and developed models that significantly increase the predictability of heterosis by introducing the concept of a regional parental genetic-similarity index (PGSI) and reducing dimension in the calculation matrix in a machine learning approach.
