Progress in the Spanish National Barley Breeding Program
(Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, 2012-06-11)
The Spanish Barley Breeding Program is carried out by four public research organizations, located at the most
representative barley growing regions of Spain. The aim of this study is to evaluate the ...
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 ...
Genetic Dissection of the Seminal Root System Architecture in Mediterranean Durum Wheat Landraces by Genome-Wide Association Study
(MDPI, 2019-07-09)
Roots are crucial for adaptation to drought stress. However, phenotyping root systems
is a difficult and time-consuming task due to the special feature of the traits in the process of being
analyzed. ...
Preserving habitat quality at local and landscape scales increases wild bee diversity in intensive farming systems
(Elsevier Masson, 2019-02-13)
Biological diversity is influenced by many environmental factors, which can act either at a local scale (e.g. quality and quantity of feeding and nesting resources, habitat type) or at a landscape scale ...
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 ...
Discovering consensus genomic regions in wheat for root-related traits by QTL meta-analysis
(Nature Research, 2019-07-22)
Root system architecture is crucial for wheat adaptation to drought stress, but phenotyping for root traits in breeding programmes is difficult and time-consuming owing to the belowground characteristics ...
Dissecting the old Mediterranean durum wheat genetic architecture for phenology, biomass and yield formation by association mapping and QTL meta-analysis
(Public Library of Science, 2017-05-25)
Association mapping was used to identify genome regions affecting yield formation, crop phenology and crop biomass in a collection of 172 durum wheat landraces representative of the genetic diversity ...
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 ...
Durum Wheat Landraces from East and West Regions of the Mediterranean Basin Are Genetically Distinct for Yield Components and Phenology
(Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018-02-08)
Genetic diversity of durum wheat landraces is a powerful tool for the introgression of new alleles of commercial interest in breeding programs. In a previous study, our team structured a collection of ...
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 ...
