Reproductive Biology, Sterility and Fertility Restoration, Breeding and Biotechnological Advances in Garlic: A Comprehensive Review by Dhall, Rajinder Kumar, Cavagnaro, Pablo, Malik, Geetika, Malik, Ajaz Ahmed, Rana, Neha

“…In some garlic populations, inflorescences often exhibit small aerial bulbs, called ‘bulbils’, which are believed to compete for photoassimilates with developing flowers, thereby influencing fertility. Recent physiological studies on a few fertile genotypes and successful restoration of fertility by removing bulbils from inflorescences and growing the plants under long day conditions have suggested the potential possibility of commercial true seed production in garlic. …”

A population genomics approach to unlock the genetic potential of lablab (Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet), an underutilized tropical forage crop by Teshome, Abel, Habte, Ermias, Cheema J., Mekasha, A., Lire, H., Muktar, Meki S., Quiroz-Chavez, J., Domoney, C., Jones, Christopher S.

“…It is an annual or short-lived perennial forage legume which has versatile uses (as a vegetable and dry seeds, as food or feed, or as green manure) but is yet to receive adequate research attention and hence remains underexploited. To develop new and highly productive lablab varieties, using genomics-assisted selection, the present study aimed to identify quantitative trait loci associated with agronomically important traits in lablab and to assess the stability of these traits across two different agro-ecologies in Ethiopia. …”
