Chromosomal loci important for cotyledon opening under UV-B in Arabidopsis thaliana
(BioMed Central, 2010-06)
Background: Understanding of the genetic architecture of plant UV-B responses allows extensive targeted testing of candidate genes or regions, along with combinations of those genes, for placement in metabolic or signal ...
A High-Density Linkage Map of the Forage Grass Eragrostis curvula and Localization of the Diplospory Locus
(Frontiers, 2019-07-12)
Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Nees (weeping lovegrass) is an apomictic species native to Southern Africa that is used as forage grass in semiarid regions of Argentina. Apomixis is a mechanism for clonal propagation through ...
Multi-parental QTL mapping of resistance to white spot of maize (Zea mays) in southern Brazil and relationship to QTLs of other foliar diseases
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-10)
Maize white spot (MWS) is one of the most important foliar diseases in Brazil causing significant yield losses. Breeding genotypes with MWS resistance is the most sustainable alternative for managing such losses; however, ...
Pre-harvest sprouting and grain dormancy in sorghum bicolor: What have we learned?
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2018-06)
The possibility of obtaining sorghum grains with quality to match the standards for a diversity of end-uses is frequently hampered by the susceptibility to pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) displayed by many elite genotypes. For ...
Mapping QTL for spike fertility and related traits in two doubled haploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) populations
(BMC, 2021-07)
Background: In breeding programs, the selection of cultivars with the highest yield potential consisted in the selection of the yield per se, which resulted in cultivars with higher grains per spike (GN) and occasionally ...
Maize leaf epiphytic bacteria diversity patterns are genetically correlated with resistance to fungal pathogen infection
(American Phytopathological Society, 2010-04)
Plant leaves host a specific set of microbial epiphytes. Plant genetic and solar UV-B radiation effects on the diversity of the phyllosphere were examined by measuring epiphytic bacterial ribosomal DNA diversity in a maize ...
A gene-derived SNP-based high resolution linkage map of carrot including the location of QTL conditioning root and leaf anthocyanin pigmentation
(2014-12)
Purple carrots accumulate large quantities of anthocyanins in their roots and leaves. These flavonoid pigments possess antioxidant activity and are implicated in providing health benefits. Informative, saturated linkage ...
Genetic control of maize plant architecture traits under contrasting plant densities
(Springer, 2020-01)
Plant architecture has played an important role in the adaptation of maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids to historical increases in plant density in order to maximize yields per unit area. At high density, a compact plant structure ...
