High-density mapping suggests cytoplasmic male sterility with two restorer genes in almond x peach progenies
(Oxford University Press, 2015-05-06)
Peach (Prunus persica) and almond (Prunus dulcis) are two sexually compatible species that produce fertile offspring. Almond, a highly
polymorphic species, is a potential source of new genes for peach ...
QTL Analyses in Multiple Populations Employed for the Fine Mapping and Identification of Candidate Genes at a Locus Affecting Sugar Accumulation in Melon (Cucumis melo L.)
(Frontiers Media, 2017-09-26)
Sugar content is the major determinant of both fruit quality and consumer acceptance in melon (Cucumis melo L), and is a primary target for crop improvement. Nearisogenic lines (NILs) derived from the ...
Comparative transcriptional profiling analysis of developing melon (Cucumis melo L.) fruit from climacteric and non-climacteric varieties
(BMC, 2015-06-09)
Background: In climacteric fruit-bearing species, the onset of fruit ripening is marked by a transient rise in
respiration rate and autocatalytic ethylene production, followed by rapid deterioration ...
Interpreting genotype-by-environment interaction for biomass production in hybrid poplars under short-rotation coppice in Mediterranean environments
(Wiley Open Access, 2015-10-20)
Understanding genotype 9 environment interaction (GEI) is crucial to optimize the deployment of clonal
material to field conditions in short-rotation coppice poplar plantations. Hybrid poplars are grown ...
Changes in durum wheat root and aerial biomass caused by the introduction of the Rht-B1b dwarfing allele and their effects on yield formation
(Springer, 2016-01-27)
Aims This study aimed to quantify the changes in root and aerial biomass of durum wheat brought about by the introduction of the Rht-B1b dwarfing allele and their effects on yield formation. Methods A ...
Photoperiod sensitivity affects flowering duration in wheat
(Cambridge University Press, 2016-06-01)
Flowering and successful pollination in wheat are key determinants of both quantity and quality of grain. Bread wheat line ‘Paragon’, introgressed with single or multiple daylength insensitivity alleles ...
Genomics of Ecological Adaptation in Cactophilic Drosophila
(Oxford University Press, 2014-12-31)
Cactophilic Drosophila species provide a valuable model to study gene–environment interactions and ecological adaptation. Drosophila buzzatii and Drosophila mojavensis are two cactophilic species that ...
Genome-Wide Differentiation of Various Melon Horticultural Groups for Use in GWAS for Fruit Firmness and Construction of a High Resolution Genetic Map
(Frontiers Media, 2016-09-22)
Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is a phenotypically diverse eudicot diploid (2n = 2x = 24) has climacteric and non-climacteric morphotypes and show wide variation for fruit firmness, an important trait for ...
pSBVB: A versatile simulation tool to evaluate genomic selection in polyploid species
(Genetics Society of America, 2018-12-20)
Genomic Selection (GS) is the procedure whereby molecular information is used to predict complex phenotypes and it is standard in many animal and plant breeding schemes. However, only a small
number ...
