Self-incompatibility (SI) mechanisms prevent self-fertilization in flowering plants based on
specific discrimination between self-and non-self pollen. Since this trait promotes …

Perennial grain crops could make a valuable addition to sustainable agriculture, potentially
even as an alternative to their annual counterparts. The ability of perennials to grow year …

Potato breeding can be redirected to a diploid inbred/F1 hybrid variety breeding strategy if
self-compatibility can be introduced into diploid germplasm. However, the majority of diploid …

Balanced feeding to livestock can effectively convert the non‐edible forage crops into
human food. Balanced output and input feeding systems further will result in greater animal …

In the recent years, the agricultural world has been progressing towards integrated crop
protection, in the context of sustainable and reasoned agriculture to improve food security …

Self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetic mechanism of hermaphroditic plants to prevent
inbreeding after self-pollination. Allogamous Poaceae species exhibit a unique …

Self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetic mechanism preventing self-pollination in~ 40% of plant
