Identification of herbicide resistance loci using a genome-wide association study and linkage mapping in Chinese common wheat

Crop Journal, 2020
Carfentrazone-ethyl and tribenuron-methyl, the two widely used herbicides for weed control in field crops, frequently cause phytotoxicity to wheat seedlings in the field. In this study, a total of 697 wheat accessions containing three panels were scanned

Candidate loci for leaf angle in maize revealed by a combination of genome-wide association study and meta-analysis

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Leaf angle (LA) is a key component of maize plant architecture that can simultaneously govern planting density and improve final yield. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying LA have not been fully addressed.

Separation of soil and canopy reflectance signatures of Mid German agricultural soils

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2005
Remote sensing can provide visual indications of crop growth during production season. In past, spectral optical estimations were well performed in the ability to be correlated with crop and soil properties but were not consistent within the whole ...

Genome-Wide Identification and Analysis of the Ascorbate Peroxidase (APX) Gene Family of Winter Rapeseed (Brassica rapa L.) Under Abiotic Stress

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Winter Brassica rapa (B. rapa) is an important oilseed crop in northern China, but the mechanism of its cold resistance remains unclear. Ascorbate peroxidase (APX) plays important roles in the response of this plant to abiotic stress and in scavenging ...
