Population Structure and Genetic Diversity in Sweet Cassava Cultivars from Paraná, Brazil
(Springer, 2016-12)
The objectives of the present study were to assess the population structure and genetic diversity in traditional sweet cassava cultivars collected in “backyard” cultivations in the municipalities of Maringá, Cianorte, and ...
Natural genetic variation for grapevine phenology as a tool for climate change adaptation
(MDPI, 2020-08)
Grapevine phenology is being modified by climate change, particularly by the increase of temperatures that affect grape attributes for wine production. Besides the existing oenological and viticultural approaches, the ...
Diversity, genetic mapping, and signatures of domestication in the carrot (Daucus carota L.) genome, as revealed by Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) markers
(2014-03)
Carrot is one of the most economically important vegetables worldwide, but genetic and genomic resources supporting carrot breeding remain limited. We developed a Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) platform for wild and ...
Preliminary Evidence for Domestication Effects on the Genetic Diversity of Guazuma crinita in the Peruvian Amazon
(MPDISwitzerland, 2020-07-23)
Guazuma crinita, a fast-growing timber tree species, was chosen for domestication in the Peruvian Amazon because it can be harvested at an early age and it contributes to the livelihood of local farmers. Although it is in ...
Genetic variability for leaf growth rate and duration under water deficit in sunflower: analysis of responses at cell, organ, and plant level
(Oxford Academic Press, 2008-05)
Plants under water deficit reduce leaf growth, thereby reducing transpiration rate at the expense of reduced photosynthesis. The objective of this work was to analyse the response of leaf growth to water deficit in several ...
Population genomic analysis of ancient and modern genomes yields new insights into the genetic ancestry of the Tyrolean Iceman and the genetic structure of Europe
(Public Library of Science, 2014)
Genome sequencing of the 5,300-year-old mummy of the Tyrolean Iceman, found in 1991 on a glacier near the border of Italy and Austria, has yielded new insights into his origin and relationship to modern European populations. ...
Combined genome-wide association study of 136 quantitative ear morphology traits in multiple populations reveal 8 novel loci
(PLoS, 2023)
Human ear morphology, a complex anatomical structure represented by a multidimensional set of correlated and heritable phenotypes, has a poorly understood genetic architecture. In this study, we quantitatively assessed 136 ...
Body size and genetic variation in the White-tipped Plantcutter (Phytotoma rutila: Cotingidae) suggest ecological divergence across the Chaco–Andes dry forest belt
(Springer, 2019-09)
Dry forests characterize many of the biomes of southern South America and the Andes, such as the Chaco and the inter-Andean valley forests, which form a continuous belt (Chaco–Andes dry forest belt). Some of the taxa that ...
Genetic versus environmental contributions to variation in seedling resprouting in Nothofagus obliqua
(Springer, 2015-04)
Resprouting is an almost universal functional trait in temperate angiosperms and confers persistence at an individual level after the loss of above-ground biomass. The importance of genetic versus environmental sources of ...
