Polyploidy, the possession of more than 2 complete genomes, is a major force in plant
evolution known to affect the genetic and genomic constitution and the phenotype of an …

Allohexaploid Brassica hybrids (2 n= AABBCC) have been the subject of plant breeding and
research for many years, both to increase our understanding of polyploid plant evolution and …

Despite recent progress in crop genomics studies, the genomic changes brought about by
modern breeding selection are still poorly understood, thus hampering genomics-assisted …

Chinese cabbage is an important vegetable in Asia, and high-yielding hybrids are needed to
cope with the growing demand. A comparative transcriptome profiling was conducted to …

In Brassica oleracea, heterosis is the most efficient tool providing impetus to hybrid
vegetable industry. In this context, we presented the first report on identifying superior …

Combining ability is crucial for parent selection in crop hybrid breeding. Many studies have
attempted to provide reliable and quick methods to identify genome regions in parental lines …

Brassica juncea is an important vegetable and oil crop cultivated worldwide. To increase its
genetic variation, we introgressed the A genome of Brassica rapa into B. juncea. We used …

The Brassica vegetable crops are rich source of important antioxidant compounds having
anticancer and health promoting properties. Development of F 1 hybrids with better …

Inter-specific hybrids are a useful source for increasing genetic diversity. Some reproductive
barriers before and/or after fertilization prevent production of hybrid plants by inter-specific …

The development of more productive crops will be key to addressing the challenges that
climate change, population growth and diminishing resources pose to global food security …
