Genetic diversity in Oryza glumaepatula wild rice populations in Costa Rica and possible gene flow from O. sativa
(2016-04-07)
Wild crop relatives are an important source of genetic diversity for crop improvement. Diversity estimates are generally lacking for many wild crop relatives. The objective of the present study was to analyze how genetic ...
Genetic variation for tolerance to extreme temperatures in wild and cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus) during early vegetative phases
(Csiro Publishing, 2020-06-04)
The increased incidence of extreme temperature events due to global climate change poses a major challenge for crop production. Ability to increase temperature tolerance through genetic improvement requires understanding ...
Response to water deficit of semi-desert wild potato Solanum kurtzianum genotypes collected from different altitudes
(Elsevier Ireland, 2021-07)
Drought-sensitive crops are threatened as a consequence of limited available water due to climate change. The cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum) is susceptible to drought and within its wild relative species, Solanum ...
In situ conservation of wild potato germplasm in Argentina: Example and possibilities
(Elsevier, 2015-01)
The potato is the third most important food crop worldwide and in situ conservation of its wild relatives is considered an urgent priority. Although regions of the Americas with high wild potato species richness have been ...
Maternal control of early life history traits affects overwinter survival and seedling phenotypes in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-03)
When cultivated and wild plants hybridize, hybrids often show intermediate phenotypic traits relative to their parents, which make them unfit in natural environments. However, maternal genetic effects may affect the outcome ...
Persistence of sunflower crop traits and fitness in Helianthus petiolaris populations
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-09)
Transgenic plants have increased interest in the study of crop gene introgression in wild populations. Genes (or transgenes) conferring adaptive advantages persist in introgressed populations, enhancing competitiveness of ...
An overview of peanut and its wild relatives
(NIAB, 2011-10)
The legume Arachis hypogaea, commonly known as peanut or groundnut, is a very important food crop throughout the tropics and sub-tropics. The genus is endemic to South America being mostly associated with the savannah-like ...
Modelled distributions and conservation status of the wild relatives of chile peppers ( Capsicum L.)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-11)
Aim: To fill critical knowledge gaps with regard to the distributions and conservation status of the wild relatives of chile peppers (Capsicum L.).Location: The study covered the potential native ranges of currently ...
Exploring farmer preferences towards innovations in the vanilla supply chain
(2021-11)
The vanilla supply chain is characterized by high risk crop management and unstable supply. In order to meet global vanilla demand while improving production sustainability, new approaches considering agro-ecological ...
