Sustainability Assessment after Twenty Years of Sewage Sludge Application on Calcareous Soil Following N or P Criterion
(MDPI, 2024-03-11)
Sewage sludge is a valuable source of nutrients when applied to the soil. Research on its agricultural use has been focused on chemical parameters to prevent heavy metal buildup. However, soil quality ...
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 ...
Intra-specific downsizing of frugivores affects seed germination of fleshy-fruited plant species
(Elsevier, 2017-12-06)
The loss of largest-bodied individuals within species of frugivorous animals is one of the major consequences of defaunation. The gradual disappearance of large-bodied frugivores is expected to entail ...
Effect of post-harvest practices on greenhouse gas emissions in rice paddies: flooding regime and straw management
(Springer, 2022-03-22)
Aims
To assess 1) the effect of the combination of flooding (winter flooding vs. non-winter flooding; WFL vs NWF) and timing of straw incorporation (early vs late straw incorporation; ESI vs LSI) in ...
Resequencing theVrs1 gene in Spanish barley landraces revealed reversion of six-rowed to two-rowed spike
(Springer, 2018-04-12)
Six-rowed spike 1 (Vrs1) is a gene of major importance for barley breeding and germplasm management as it is the main gene determining spike row-type (2-rowed vs. 6-rowed). This is a widely used DUS ...
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 ...
Wheat Stem Rust Back in Europe: Diversity, Prevalence and Impact on Host Resistance
(Frontiers Media, 2022-06-02)
The objective of this study was to investigate the re-emergence of a previously important crop pathogen in Europe, Puccinia graminis f.sp. tritici, causing wheat stem rust. The pathogen has been ...
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 ...
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, ...
