Nature Communication: High-frequency synthetic apomixis in hybrid rice
12/01/2023
The transfer of apomixis, the clonal asexual reproduction by grain, to crops has long been a research goal, as it would fix hybrid vigor. Here we show that it is possible to obtain synthetic apomixis in a hybrid rice by simultaneous inactivation of three of its genes combined with the addition of a gene consisting of rice elements. Clonal grains are produced with a frequency of more than 95% and form plants that are genotypically and phenotypically identical to the starting hybrid, which now makes synthetic apomixis compatible for use in agriculture.

This research aims to analyze the response of apple varieties subjected to soil water deficit and atmospheric drought in the Mediterranean region. The results suggest that some varieties are well adapted to stressful summer conditions as long as irrigation needs are met, while others show a particular sensitivity to evaporation demand in the middle of the day. The proposed methodology allows to evaluate the dynamics of tree response to water stress using non-invasive thermal sensors.
