Combined detection and introgression of QTL in outbred populations

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2010
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 ...

Identification and Fine Mapping of Pi69(t), a New Gene Conferring Broad-Spectrum Resistance Against Magnaporthe oryzae From Oryza glaberrima Steud

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
The discovery and deployment of new broad-spectrum resistance (R) genes from cultivated rice and its wild relatives is a strategy to broaden the genetic basis of modern rice cultivars to combat rice blast disease.

The Genetic Legacy of Cretan Landrace Grapevines and Their Relationship to the Southern Levant

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Grapes are more than an agricultural crop; they are a vital part of human history, economy, and culture. Yet the origins of many traditional varieties remain unclear. By studying the genetics of Cretan grapes, we discovered that they are a “genetic mosaic”—combining local lineages with those from the Southern Levant and Eastern Europe.

Combined transcriptomic and physiological-biochemical analyses of drought tolerance mechanisms in rapeseed (

Industrial Crops and Products
Drought has caused severe yield and quality losses in rapeseed ( Brassica napus ), and this has become particularly evident as the genetic diversity of rapeseed narrows.

Two centuries of Begonia exploration in the Philippines: Progress and challenges associated with a megadiverse genus in the Global South

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Megadiverse genera represent the highest concentration of plant diversity, but these plants are also located primarily in countries in the Global South where huge gaps in botanical knowledge remain. This study summarized two centuries of Begonia collection records in the Philippines to show how historical events coincide with collection and taxonomic ...

Genetic Control of Reproductive Traits in Tomatoes Under High Temperature

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Global climate change is increasing the range of temperatures that crop plants must face during their life cycle, giving negative effects to yields. In this changing scenario, understanding the genetic control of plant responses to a range of increasing ...

Why wolves walk – drivers of daily movement in a social large carnivore

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Animal movement patterns are influenced by a range of extrinsic and intrinsic factors, including the distribution of resources, human disturbance, landscape connectivity, species interactions, and individual traits. We examined factors associated with daily movement distance (DMD) and linearity in 20 territorial Scandinavian wolves Canis lupus during ...

Development and characterization of small translocations between the Pm13 introgression from Aegilops longissima and wheat homoeologous A, B and D chromosomes

BMC Plant Biology
Background Wild relatives have substantial impacts on the resistance of wheat to biotic and abiotic stresses. The genetic diversity of these wild varieties can be employed to widen the wheat gene pool by introducing wild allele introgression and genome ...
