Heterosis in yeast hybrids [PDF]

, 2018
We are particularly interested in the performance of the first hybrid generation (F1 hybrids), especially when hybrids are viable and able to outperform one or both parents under different environmental conditions, a phenomenon known as heterosis.

Differential effects of a post-anthesis heat stress on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain proteome determined by iTRAQ

Scientific Reports, 2017
Heat stress, a major abiotic stressor of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), often results in reduced yield and decreased quality. In this study, a proteomic method, Tags for Relative and Absolute Quantitation Isobaric (iTRAQ), was adopted to analyze the ...

Mapping a leaf rust resistance gene LrOft in durum wheat Ofanto and its suppressor SuLrOft in common wheat

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Epidemics of leaf rust (caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia triticina Erikss., Pt) raise concerns regarding sustainability of wheat production. Deployment of resistant cultivars is the most effective and economic strategy for combating this disease ...

Is heterosis noticeable in the callus response of winter durum wheat F₁ hybrids?

, 2010
The effect of heterosis on callus induction, callus mass and number of regenerated plants from mature embryo cultures of winter durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) hybrids was studied. A total of 14 F1 hybrids and their parents were used for mature embryo

Identification of QTLs controlling grain protein concentration using a high-density SNP and SSR linkage map in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)

BMC Plant Biology, 2017
Background Grain protein concentration (GPC) is a major determinant of quality in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Breeding barley cultivars with high GPC has practical value for feed and food properties.

Seeds of change: The impact of Ethiopia's direct seed marketing approach on smallholders' seed purchases and productivity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market
