Open AccessChemical hybridizing agent SQ-1-induced male sterility in Triticum aestivum L.: a comparative analysis of the anther proteome
Heterosis is widely used to increase the yield of many crops. However, as wheat is a self-pollinating crop, hybrid breeding is not so successful in this organism. Even though male sterility induced by chemical...

Special heterogeneous cytoplasm suppresses the expression of the gene producing multi-ovary in common wheat
Generally, there is only one seed in each floret of the common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). However, DUOII is a multi-ovary variety that has 2–3 pistils and 3 stamens. The genetics of DUOII are very stable; and ...
