  • METHODS OF INCREASING OUTCROSSING RATES IN GRAMINEAE
    Publication number: 20230309480
    Abstract: A method of producing a Gramineae plant, the method comprising (a) expressing in a Gramineae plant or plant cell expression of a polynucleotide encoding OLLS1 as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 12 or 13 or a homolog thereof capable of increasing stigma length of the Gramineae plant, wherein when the expressing is by crossing the plant with another plant expressing the polypeptide, selecting for stigma length is performed using markers located between ST87 to ST99; and (b) growing or regenerating the plant.

  • Increasing hybrid seed production through higher outcrossing rate in cytoplasmic male sterile rice and related materials and methods
    Patent number: 10999986
    Abstract: Methods for increasing hybrid seed production are provided. Increased hybrid seed production is achieved through higher outcrossing rates in cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines of rice by introgressing the long stigma trait of Oryza longistaminata. CMS lines having higher outcrossing rates capable of high hybrid seed set are also provided.
