Variability among germplasm collections for high biomass traits in Cenchrus sp. [PDF]

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2011
Sixty germplasm accessions of Cenchrus ciliaris and Cenchrus setigerus were collected from different habitats in and aroundCoimbatore and Erode districts and planted in field trials. Based on initial morphological evaluation, four accessions fromCenchrus

Conned by the enemy: the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae lures and kills Drosophila suzukii

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Highly pathogenic isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae attracted Drosophila suzukii. Identifying the responsible compounds for this attraction could help the development of these isolates for pest monitoring and overall pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii, commonly known as spotted wing drosophila (SWD), is a highly invasive and ...

Genome-wide association analysis and genomic prediction of salt tolerance trait in soybean germplasm

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionSoybean is an important protein and oil crop, and improving yield has traditionally been a major breeding goal. However, salt stress is an important abiotic factor that can severely impair soybean yield by disrupting metabolic processes ...

Do yams (Dioscorea spp.) host endogenous viral sequences ? [PDF]

, 2011
Yams (Dioscoreae sp) are important food commodities in tropical and subtropical areas of Africa, the Caribbean, South America and the Pacific where they play a key role in food security. Yams are vegetatively propagated crops.

Fluorescence in situ hybridization in sugarcane or fish-ing in the genomic wilderness. [MO06] [PDF]

, 2015
Cytogenetics applied to sugarcane has brought our fundamental understanding of the sugarcane genome to a new level. In the mid-nineties, Genomic in situ Hybridisation (GISH) was first applied to sugarcane to determine the specific composition of the ...

Leaf longevity and structure, fruit mass and phenology in 52 cultivated varieties and wild accessions of olive

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although phenology has long been recognized as a critical feature for the adaptation of organisms to their local environment, until recently, phenological events have seldom been considered in the broader context of trait‐based ecology.

Is the endophyte‐based plant protection against aphids mediated by changes in the insect microbiome?

Insect Science, EarlyView.
We showed that the fungal endophyte Epichloë strain AR37 increased the plant resistance against aphids via the production of indole diterpene alkaloids. The reduction in aphid performance was not associated with changes in abundance/composition/diversity of the insect's bacterial microbiota, but additional endophyte effects on this microbiota cannot be

The Intellectual and Technical Property Components of pro-Vitamin A Rice (GoldenRiceTM): A Preliminary Freedom-To-Operate Review [PDF]

, 2000
Rice is a staple food for millions of people, predominantly in Asia, but lacks essential nutritional components such as Vitamin A. This is very important for over 180 million children and women of child bearing age who suffer from Vitamin A deficiency in

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.
