Physiological Basis and Transcriptional Profiling of Three Salt-Tolerant Mutant Lines of Rice
(Frontiers Media, 2016-09-28)
Salinity is a complex trait that affects growth and productivity in many crops, including rice. Mutation induction, a useful tool to generate salt tolerant plants, enables the analysis of plants with ...
Daylength, Temperature and Solar Radiation Effects on the Phenology and Yield Formation of Spring Durum Wheat
(Wiley, 2015-07-30)
Future food security will depend on crop adaptation to changing environments. We studied the limitations imposed by daylength, temperature and solar radiation on wheat yield in eight field experiments ...
Direct and reverse pollen-mediated gene flow between GM rice and red rice weed
(Oxford University Press, 2013-11-07)
Potential risks of genetically modified (GM) crops must be identified before their commercialization, as
happens with all new technologies. One of the major concerns is the proper risk assessment of ...
Cytoplasmic male sterility as a biological confinement tool for maize coexistence: optimization of pollinator spatial arrangement
(Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2017-04-25)
Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) allows efficient biological confinement of transgenes if pollen-mediated gene flow has to be reduced or eliminated. For introduction of CMS maize in agricultural practice, ...
Unravelling the relationship between adaptation pattern and yield formation strategies in Mediterranean durum wheat landraces
(Elsevier, 2019-05-07)
Understanding the environmental and genetic factors behind the adaptation of landraces to different environments may help design breeding strategies and to promote yield improvement. Based on previous ...
Genetic Diversity and Association Mapping for Agromorphological and Grain Quality Traits of a Structured Collection of Durum Wheat Landraces Including subsp. durum, turgidum and diccocon
(Public Library of Science, 2016-11-15)
Association mapping was performed for 18 agromorphological and grain quality traits in a set of 183 Spanish landraces, including subspecies durum, turgidum and dicoccon, genotyped with 749 DArT (Diversity ...
Changes in bread-making quality attributes of bread wheat varieties cultivated in Spain during the 20th century
(Elsevier, 2014-12-08)
Genetic gains in quality traits were assessed in grain samples from 4 field experiments involving 16 bread wheat varieties representative of those most widely cultivated in Spain during the 20th century. ...
Short communication: Emergence of a new race of leaf rust with combined virulence to Lr14a and Lr72 genes on durum wheat
(Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2016-08-31)
Leaf rust is a foliar disease caused by the fungus Puccinia triticina that may severely reduce durum wheat yield. Resistance to this pathogen is common in modern durum germplasm but is frequently based ...
Effect of allele combinations at Ppd‐1 loci on durum wheat grain filling at contrasting latitudes
(Wiley, 2019-09-15)
Flowering time is the most critical developmental stage in wheat, as it determines environmental conditions during grain filling. Thirty‐five spring durum genotypes carrying all ...
Variability in glutenin subunit composition of Mediterranean durum wheat germplasm and its relationship with gluten strength
(Cambridge University Press, 2013-01-23)
The allelic composition at five glutenin loci was assessed by one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulphate
polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (1D SDS–PAGE) on a set of 155 landraces (from 21 Mediterranean ...
