Three intergeneric hybrids were produced between a cold-tolerant wild species, Erucastrum abyssinicum and three cultivated species of Brassica, B. juncea, B. carinata and B. oleracea, through ovary culture. The hybrids were characterized by morphology, cytology and DNA analysis. Amphiploidy was induced in all the F1 hybrids through colchicine treatment. Stable amphiploids and backcross progenies were obtained from two of the crosses, E. abyssinicum x B. juncea and E. abyssinicum x B. carinata. The amphiploid, E. abyssinicum x B. juncea was successfully used as a bridge species to produce hybrids with B. napus, B. campestris and B. nigra. These hybrids and backcross progenies provide useful genetic variability for the improvement of crop brassicas.

The introgression of heterologous genomes through interspecific hybridization offers a great opportunity to expand the gene pool of crops, thereby broadening the traits that can be targeted for improvement. The introgression of C genomic regions carrying desirable traits from (AACC) into the diploid (AA) via homoeologous recombination (HR) has been commonly used. However, the precise identification of HR sites remains a significant challenge, limiting the practical application of genome introgression via HR in breeding programs.

Background: Crocidosema aporema (Walsingham 1914) has historically been the main bud borer species in soybean in Brazil; however, a recent study reported that this species is not C. aporema but an undescribed species. In recent seasons, injury by Crocidosema sp.

In our study, we aimed to identify new mutants resulting from ONSEN transposition in Arabidopsis thaliana by subjecting nrpd1 mutants to heat stress. We isolated a mutant with a significantly elongated hypocotyl, named "Long hypocotyl in ONSEN inserted line 1" (HYO1). This phenotype was heritable, with progeny consistently displaying longer hypocotyls than the wild type.

A synthetic variety (SV) of maize may not become stable if the sample size representing each parental line (m) is small. This research aimed to evaluate the effect of m on the inbreeding coefficient (IC) of the SV (FSynL) and on the stability of its genetic constitution. An SV formed by randomly mating l unrelated lines whose inbreeding coefficient is F was considered, and a random sample was taken from the genotypic array of the progeny produced by selfing a parental line A1A2 (GA) This sample was visualized as a set of g groups of four plants whose genotypes are all four of the GA and e represented the number of plants that failed to form a group.

Waxy maize is highly preferred diet in developing countries due to its high amylopectin content. Enriching amylopectin in biofortified maize meets food security and fulfils the demand of rising industrial applications, especially bioethanol. The mutant waxy1 (wx1) gene is responsible for increased amylopectin in maize starch, with a wide range of food and industrial applications.
