Abstract BACKGROUND Rice milling characteristics and storage stability are critical traits influencing industrial applications. Floury endosperm rice carrying the flo4‐4 allele is valuable for dry milling but exhibits reduced storage stability associated with altered starch structural characteristics.

Combined detection and introgression of QTL in outbred populations
Background Detecting a QTL is only the first step in genetic improvement programs. When a QTL with desirable characteristics is found, e.g. in a wild or unimproved population, it may be interesting to introgress the detected QTL into the commercial ...

Key Roles of De-Domestication and Novel Mutation in Origin and Diversification of Global Weedy Rice
Agricultural weeds pose great challenges to sustainable crop production, owing to their complex origins and abundant genetic diversity. Weedy rice (WD) infests rice fields worldwide causing tremendous losses of rice yield/quality.

Abstract BACKGROUND High‐molecular‐weight glutenin subunits (HMW‐GSs) are major determinants of dough rheological behavior and bread‐making quality in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Among wheat genomes, the Glu‐B1 locus exhibits the highest allelic diversity; however, recombination events between x‐ and y‐type HMW‐GS genes are considered extremely

Saussurea × media (Asteraceae), a new natural hybrid between S. parviflora and S. controversa
Saussurea × media Yusupovsky and E.Pjak (Asteraceae), a new nothospecies from the Altai‐Sayan Mountains, is described and illustrated. In this study, we sequenced the internal transcribed spacer of nuclear ribosomal DNA and the chloroplast intergenic spacers rsp16‐trnQ and ycf4‐cemA to verify the hypothesis of hybridization between Saussurea parviflora

Factors influencing the efficiency of a marker-assisted introgression programme in Merino sheep
This study investigated a marker-assisted introgression programme in Australian Merino sheep. The goal was to introgress an allele with a large negative effect on fibre diameter into a Merino flock possessing medium average fibre diameter.

The hidden side of invasions: massive introgression by local genes
International audienceDespite hundreds of reports involving both plants and animals, the mechanisms underlying introgression remain obscure, even if some form of selection is frequently invoked.

Revisiting the phylogenetic relationships within Sladenia (Sladeniaceae)
Geological and climatic changes associated with the Ailao Shan–Red River shear zone (ARSZ) are thought to have influenced the evolutionary history of many mostly drought‐adapted low‐elevation plant lineages in southwestern China, yet their role in shaping genetic divergence in montane cloud‐forest plants remains poorly understood.

Detection of T. urartu Introgressions in Wheat and Development of a Panel of Interspecific Introgression Lines [PDF]
Tritcum urartu (2n = 2x = 14, AuAu), the A genome donor of wheat, is an important source for new genetic variation for wheat improvement due to its high photosynthetic rate and disease resistance. By facilitating the generation of genome-wide introgressions leading to a variety of different wheat-T. urartu translocation lines, T.
