Excess trace metals may cause damage to human health due to the consumption of food grain grown in contaminated soils. This study was designed to understand the genetic mechanisms of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) accumulation in wheat grain under stressed environments. The differences of Cu/Zn contents in the grain among 246 wheat varieties were analyz...

Theobroma grandiflorum (Willd. ex Spreng.) Schum. is a tree originating in the Amazon forest. In Brazil, it is known as cupuassu and, like Theobroma cacao, belongs to the family of the Malvaceae. The pulp is used by the food industry and the seeds, which are rich in fatty acids, are used in cosmetics. As for cacao, cupuassu cultivation is affected ...

Improvement of grain weight and size is an important objective for high-yield wheat breeding. In this study, 174 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from the cross between Jing 411 and Hongmangchun 21 were used to construct a high-density genetic map by specific locus amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq). Three mapping methods, including in...

Pecan (Carya illinoinensis) is a nut-producing tree native to North America grown for its culinary, ornamental, and lumber characteristics. A newly developed chromosome-scale reference genome for pecan was used to create genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS)-based high-density genetic linkage maps of 151 full-sibling progeny of ‘Elliott’ and ‘VC1-68’. The...

Rice blast, sheath blight and bacterial leaf blight are major rice diseases found worldwide. The development of resistant cultivars is generally perceived as the most effective way to combat these diseases. Plant disease resistance is a polygenic trait where a combinatorial effect of major and minor genes affects this trait. To locate the source of...

Flowering time and sex determination in hemp ( Cannabis sativa L.) strongly influence fiber quality and seed production of this crop. The control of these traits is paramount for the breeding of new cultivars. Yet, little is known about the genetics underlying such complex traits and a better understanding requires in depth knowledge of the molecul...

BackgroundThe Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse population is a valuable resource to study the genetic basis of complex traits, such as obesity. Although the development of obesity is influenced by environmental factors, underlying genetic mechanisms play a crucial role in the response to these factors. The interplay between the genetic background and...

When individuals are measured more than once in the same context they do not behave in exactly the same way each time. The degree of predictability differs between individuals, with some individuals showing low levels of variation around their behavioural mean while others show high levels of variation. This intra-individual variability in behaviou...

In the southern Great Plains of the United States, winter wheat grown for dual-purpose is often planted early, which puts it at risk for drought stress at the seedling stage in the autumn. To map quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with seedling drought tolerance, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed on a hard winter wheat asso...

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a devastating fungal disease of small-grain cereals that results in severe yield and quality losses. FHB resistance is controlled by resistance components including incidence, field severity, visual rating index, Fusarium damaged kernels (FDKs), and the accumulation of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON). Resistance con...
