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 ...
A consensus map for quality traits in durum wheat based on genome-wide association studies and detection of ortho-meta QTL across cereal species
(Frontiers Media, 2022-08-30)
The present work focused on the identification of durum wheat QTL hotspots from a collection of genome-wide association studies, for quality traits, such as grain protein content and composition, yellow ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Plant Breeding and Management Strategies to Minimize the Impact of Water Scarcity and Biotic Stress in Cereal Crops under Mediterranean Conditions
(MDPI, 2021-12-29)
Wheat and rice are two main staple food crops that may suffer from yield losses due to drought episodes that are increasingly impacted by climate change, in addition to new epidemic outbreaks. Sustainable ...
The economic cost of losing native pollinator species for orchard prodution
(Wiley, 2020-01-19)
The alarming loss of pollinator diversity world‐wide can reduce the productivity of pollinator‐dependent crops, which could have economic impacts. However, it is unclear to what extent the loss of a key ...
Genetic improvement of bread wheat yield and associated traits in Spain during the 20th century
(Cambridge University Press, 2012-04-17)
A collection of 26 wheat genotypes widely grown in Spain during the 20th century was evaluated in eight
contrasting environments in order to quantify breeding achievements in yield and associated traits. ...
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 ...
Exploring the Genetic Architecture of Root-Related Traits in Mediterranean Bread Wheat Landraces by Genome-Wide Association Analysis
(MDPI, 2020-04-25)
Background: Roots are essential for drought adaptation because of their involvement in water and nutrient uptake. As the study of the root system architecture (RSA) is costly and time-consuming, it is ...
