Plant height (PH) is closely associated with yield-related traits and environmental adaptation. Seven pairs of near-isogenic lines (NILs) targeting four QTL on 3AL, 4BL, 4AS, and 7AL wheat chromosome arms were assessed for PH and four yield-related traits including yield per plant (Y/P), grain number per spike (G/S), thousand kernel weight (TKW), a...

Textural quality of watermelon fruit is mainly determined by rind hardness/firmness and its related traits. The determination of genetic regions harboring QTLs/gene(s) has a primary worth in genetic breeding studies. In this study, whole genome BSA-seq and QTL mapping through newly developed CAPS markers were successfully performed, respectively. T...

BackgroundGenetic improvement of root system architecture is essential to improve water and nutrient use efficiency of crops or to boost their productivity under stress or non-optimal soil conditions. One hundred ninety-two Ethiopian durum wheat accessions comprising 167 historical landraces and 25 modern cultivars were assembled for GWAS analysis ...

Main conclusionBioinformatic, molecular, and biochemical analysis were performed to get more insight into the regulatory mechanism by which TmHKT1;4-A2 is regulated.AbstractHKT transporters from different plant species have been shown to play important role in plant response to salt. In previous work, TmHKT1;4-A2 gene from Triticum monococcum has b...

Maize (Zea mays) is a leading cereal crop in the world. The maize kernel is the storage organ and the harvest portion of this crop and is closely related to its yield and quality. The development of maize kernel is initiated by the double fertilization event, leading to the formation of a diploid embryo and a triploid endosperm. The embryo and endo...

Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) is widely cultivated in temperate regions owing to its excellent producibility and digestibility. Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant growth; however, the overuse of nitrogen fertilizers can lead to excessive accumulation of nitrate-nitrogen in Italian ryegrass, which can prove to be lethal for rum...

Barley stripe rust, Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei, (PSH) occurs worldwide and is one of the major barley diseases of South Asia and North Africa. The aim of this study was to identify and map rust resistance loci at the seedling and the adult plant stages in 336 barley genotypes assembled at ICARDA as AM-2014. The seedling resistance to PSH wa...

Main conclusionDormancy in white-grained wheat is conditioned by the cumulative effects of several QTL that delay the onset of the capacity to germinate during ripening and after-ripening.AbstractGrain dormancy at harvest-ripeness is a major component of resistance to preharvest sprouting in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and an important trait in re...

Genetic selection of disease resistant fish is a major strategy to improve health, welfare and sustainability in aquaculture. Mapping of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the fish genome may be a fruitful tool to define relevant quantitative trait loci (QTL) and we here show its use for characterization of Vibrio anguillarum resistant rainbo...

Durum wheat is an economically important crop for Canadian farmers. Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the most destructive diseases that threatens durum production in Canada. FHB reduces yield and end-use quality and most commonly contaminates the grain with the fungal mycotoxin deoxynivalenol, also known as DON. Serious outbreaks of FHB can occ...
