Assessment of Cultivar Distinctness in Alfalfa: A Comparison of Genotyping‐by‐Sequencing, Simple‐Sequence Repeat Marker, and Morphophysiological Observations [PDF]

The Plant Genome, Volume 9, Issue 2, July 2016., 2016
Cultivar registration agencies typically require morphophysiological trait-based distinctness of candidate cultivars. This requirement is difficult to achieve for cultivars of major perennial forages because of their genetic structure and ever-increasing

Molecular markers enhance substantially the distinctness of alfalfa varieties for registration and protection. [PDF]

Plant Genome
Abstract Plant varieties must satisfy distinctness, uniformity, and stability (DUS) requirements for registration. Morphophysiological trait‐based distinctness may be challenging for cultivars of major perennial forages. Our study focused on alfalfa (Medicago sativa L. subsp.

Perspectives for reducing seed shattering in ryegrasses

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 78, Issue 4, Page 425-437, December 2023., 2023
Abstract In the last decades, the progress in ryegrass (Lolium spp.) breeding was mainly on agronomic traits such as biomass yield, forage quality or disease resistance. However, for commercial success, a stable and high seed yield is a prerequisite for any cultivar.

Safety and efficacy of a feed additive consisting of ethoxyquin (6‐ethoxy‐1,2‐dihydro‐2,2,4‐trimethylquinoline) for all animal species (FEFANA asbl)

EFSA Journal, Volume 20, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022
Abstract Ethoxyquin is synthetised from p‐phenetidine, a possible mutagen, which remains in the additive as an impurity at concentrations of < 2.5 mg/kg additive. Ethoxyquin is considered safe for all animal species at the proposed inclusion level of 50 mg/kg complete feed.

Drought and crop yield

Plant Biology, Volume 23, Issue 6, Page 881-893, November 2021., 2021
Drought stress negatively affects crop plants by reduced transpiration and root architecture leading to dehydration and yield penalty. Abstract Episodes of water shortage occur in most agricultural regions of the world. Their durations and intensities increase, and their seasonal timing alters with changing climate.

Grass and legume breeding matching the future needs of European grassland farming

Grass and Forage Science, Volume 76, Issue 2, Page 175-185, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Plant breeding can be pivotal to produce new grassland varieties with better adaptation to changes in seasonal pattern and increased variability of temperature, precipitation and length of the growing seasons as determined by climate change.

Trait characterization of genetic resources reveals useful variation for the improvement of cultivated Nordic red clover

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 207, Issue 3, Page 492-503, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) is the most important forage legume in the Nordic region, but its utilization is limited by poor persistency. The improvement of cultivated red clover can potentially take advantage of the numerous wild populations and landraces conserved in gene banks; however, there is often limited information available on

Indicators for the on-farm assessment of crop cultivar and livestock breed diversity: a survey-based participatory approach [PDF]

, 2014
International audienceAgrobiodiversity plays a fundamental role in guaranteeing food security. However, still little is known about the diversity within crop and livestock species: the genetic diversity.
