Researchers' study, published, in the journal Horticulture Research, details how targeted mutation of BnaMS1 and BnaMS2 genes, combined with the RUBY visual reporter, enables a simple two-line hybrid system.

I am reminded by discussions of hybrids, many are sterile but not all.

Especially the concept of:
#Heterosis, #HybridVigor, or #outbreeding enhancement is the improved or increased function of any biological quality in a hybrid.

Diagrams representing the seven core heterotic groups differentiated in maize germplasm from China, showing regionality and uniqueness at the genomic level.
🌽 Heterotic groups are crucial for breeders to improve #hybrid vigor. In this #OpenAccess New Resource, Xue et al. reveal insights into the #genomic divergence of #maize heterotic groups in China, informing future #crop breeding efforts. 🌽

Diagrams comparing mechanisms that lead to fertile vs male-sterile cotton lines. In the fertile cotton line 2074B, the long non-coding RNA lncRNA67 acted as an endogenous target mimic, regulating microRNA-mediated cleavage of GhCYP724B, encoding a cytochrome P450 that promotes brassinosteroid biosynthesis. In the cytoplasmic male sterile line 2074A, GhCYP724B interacted with a unique chimeric open reading frame, resulting in male sterility.
Cytoplasmic male sterile lines are crucial for #heterosis in crop plants. Using an integrative approach, Guo et al. identify a flower bud-specific lncRNA that regulates male sterility in upland #cotton. doi.org/10.1111/jipb...

Morphological images comparing natural and humidity-assisted pollination in maize illustrate how loss of function of a conserved POACEATAPETOL SYNTHASE1 confers humidity-sensitive genic male sterility in maize and wheat.
Xiong et al. demonstrate that a two-line hybrid seed production system based on PTS1 mutation-based-HGMS lines in #maize and #wheat creates a cost-efficient approach for the effective use of maize #heterosis.

Flow diagrams illustrate the results of transcriptome, proteome, physiological, and heterosis analyses, suggesting that the OsWRKY72–OsAAT30/OsGSTU26 module may play an important role in heterosis for salt tolerance.
