Development and Genome-Wide Analysis of a Blast-Resistant japonica Rice Variety
(MDPI, 2023-10-11)
Rice is one of the most important crops in the world, and its production is severely affected by the rice blast disease caused by the fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. Several major blast resistance genes and ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
Comparison of Genomic Prediction Methods for Yellow, Stem, and Leaf Rust Resistance in Wheat Landraces from Afghanistan
(MDPI, 2021-03-16)
Wheat rust diseases, including yellow rust (Yr; also known as stripe rust) caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici, leaf rust (Lr) caused by Puccinia triticina Eriks. and stem rust (Sr) ...
Will temperature and rainfall changes prevent yield progress in Europe?
(Wiley Open Access, 2022-01-31)
Concerns about the effects of global warming on crop yields have been raised due to stagnating yield progress in recent years. However, an understanding of the effects of changes in temperature and ...
Molecular Marker Technology for Crop Improvement
(MDPI, 2020-09-24)
Since the 1980s, agriculture and plant breeding have changed with the development of molecular marker technology. In recent decades, different types of molecular markers have been used for different ...
Multiple environmental benefits of alternate wetting and drying irrigation system with limited yield impact on European rice cultivation: The Ebre Delta case
(Elsevier, 2021-09-16)
The AWD is an irrigation technology for rice cultivation, consisting in implementing alternate draining and flooded periods over the growing season, that delivers multiple environmental benefits, such ...
Effect of Ppd-1 photoperiod sensitivity genes on dry matter production and allocation in durum wheat
(Elsevier, 2017-06-21)
Understanding the effect of genetic factors controlling flowering time is essential to fine-tune phenological
development and to maximize yield. Thirty-four spring durum wheat genotypes classified in ...
