Meta-QTL analysis and identification of candidate genes for quality, abiotic and biotic stress in durum wheat
(Nature Research, 2021-06-04)
The genetic improvement of durum wheat and enhancement of plant performance often depend on the identification of stable quantitative trait loci (QTL) and closely linked molecular markers. This is ...
Barberry plays an active role as an alternate host of Puccinia graminis in Spain
(Wiley, 2022-02-17)
Stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis, is a destructive group of diseases. The pathogen uses Berberis species as alternate hosts to complete its life cycle. B. vulgaris and the endemic species B. ...
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 ...
Pasta-Making Quality QTLome From Mediterranean Durum Wheat Landraces
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018-10-16)
In order to identify genome regions related to pasta-making quality traits, association
mapping (AM) was performed in a set of 165 durum wheat landraces from 21
Mediterranean countries. The collection ...
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 ...
Physical and Chemical Properties of Limestone Quarry Technosols Used in the Restoration of Mediterranean Habitats
(MDPI, 2023-09-06)
The lack of topsoil is frequently a limiting factor in limestone quarry restoration. This implies that new technosols for maintaining target habitats must be created using mining wastes as the main ...
Phytoene synthase 1 (Psy-1) and lipoxygenase 1 (Lpx-1) Genes Influence on Semolina Yellowness in Wheat Mediterranean Germplasm
(MDPI, 2020-06-30)
Phytoene synthase 1 (Psy1) and lipoxygenase 1 (Lpx-1) are key genes involved in the synthesis and catalysis of carotenoid pigments in durum wheat, regulating the increase and decrease in these compounds, ...
Climate impact and adaptation to heat and drought stress of regional and global wheat production
(IOP Publishing, 2021-05-12)
Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is the most widely grown food crop in the world threatened by future climate change. In this study, we simulated climate change impacts and adaptation strategies for wheat ...
Genetic Diversity and Population Structure Analysis of Triticum aestivum L. Landrace Panel from Afghanistan
(MDPI, 2021-02-25)
Landraces are a potential source of genetic diversity and provide useful genetic resources to cope with the current and future challenges in crop breeding. Afghanistan is located close to the centre of ...
