Abstract: Disclosed is a method of producing hybrid seeds, in particular hybrid cereal seeds, comprising crossing a stand of shorter female (male sterile) plants (shorter than the fertile plants) with a stand of taller male fertile plants (taller than the sterile plants). The method comprises limiting the proportion of self-fertilized male seed in the final produced seed stock. In particular, the method limits the seed development on male plants after pollination to reduce or eliminate the proportion of self-fertilized male seed in the final produced seed stock. The method limits this proportion of self-fertilized male seed in the final produced seed stock, under a threshold value, preferably under a value to be compliant with a regulatory hybridity level. Limiting the seed stock of male plant comprises passing, at least once, a tool extending above the height of the shorter female plants, but below the level of the height of the taller male fertile plants, between anthesis, preferably end of anthesis, and harvest.

Abstract: The invention relates to improving the digestibility of a plant by total or partial inhibition of the expression and/or of the activity of the Pox3/U19 peroxidase of said plant. The invention also relates to the selection of plants with improved digestibility, in which the expression and/or the activity of the Pox3/U19 peroxidase is partially or totally inhibited.

Abstract: The invention provides oligonucleotides and their complements that can be used as allele-specific probes or primers for sequencing, oligonucleotide probe hybridization, and allele-specific amplification. Such oligonucleotides can be used, for example, to facilitate genetic distinction between individual plants in plant populations.

Abstract: The invention concerns the identification and co-localisation between two QTL corn digestibility loci and genes involved in the synthesis of lignin, and the uses thereof in methods for producing digestible corn.
