CWRML: representing crop wild relative conservation and use data in XML

BMC Bioinformatics, 2008
Background Crop wild relatives are wild species that are closely related to crops. They are valuable as potential gene donors for crop improvement and may help to ensure food security for the future.

Diversity, genetic mapping, and signatures of domestication in the carrot (Daucus carota L.) genome, as revealed by Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) markers [PDF]

, 2013
Carrot is one of the most economically important vegetables worldwide, but genetic and genomic resources supporting carrot breeding remain limited. We developed a Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) platform for wild and cultivated carrot and used it to ...

Multifaceted plant diversity patterns across the Himalaya: Status and outlook

Plant Diversity
Mountains serve as exceptional natural laboratories for studying biodiversity due to their heterogeneous landforms and climatic zones. The Himalaya, a global biodiversity hotspot, hosts rich endemic flora, supports vital ecosystem functions, and offers a

Adaptive significance of functional germination traits in crop wild relatives of Brassica

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2019
Functional germination traits contribute to both niche competitiveness and crop yield outcomes. However, there is little understanding of the adaptive significance of the germination thermal- and hydro-parameters in crop wild relatives (CWRs), yet these ...

Identification and characterization of nine PAT1 genes subfamily in Medicago edgeworthii

Plant Signaling & Behavior
GRAS proteins represent a unique class of transcription factors that are exclusive to plants. Among the various subfamilies within the GRAS family, the phytochrome A signal transduction 1 (PAT1) subfamily is particularly prominent, given its multifaceted

Evaluating the utility of deep genome skimming for phylogenomic analyses: A case study in the species-rich genus Rhododendron

Plant Diversity
Deep genome skimming (DGS) has emerged as a promising approach to recover orthologous nuclear genes for large-scale phylogenomic analyses. However, its reliability with low DNA quality and quantity typical of archival specimens, such as herbarium ...
