Agronomic characteristics of the spring forms of the wheat landraces (einkorn, emmer, spelt, intermediate bread wheat) grown in organic farming [PDF]

, 2010
Organic farmers look to the possibilities of growing neglected crops, such as the spring forms of hulled wheat – einkorn, emmer and spelt – for support in developing the organic farming system.

Unlocking the genetic diversity of maize landraces with doubled haploids opens new avenues for breeding. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Landraces are valuable genetic resources for broadening the genetic base of elite germplasm in maize. Extensive exploitation of landraces has been hampered by their genetic heterogeneity and heavy genetic load. These limitations may be overcome by the in-

The Analysis of Italian Plant Agrobiodiversity Databases Reveals That Hilly and Sub-Mountain Areas Are Hotspots of Herbaceous Landraces

Diversity, 2021
Landraces are an agri-food and historical-cultural heritage but are undergoing losses worldwide. Italy is taking action to counteract this problem by following European guidelines.

Molecular variability of maize landraces estimated by SSR markers [PDF]

, 2022
In order to provide continuous progress in maize breeding, it is necessary to expand the genetic base of breeding working collections by introgression of new germplasm into existing heterotic groups.

Morphological characterisation of Cucurbita maxima Duchesne (Cucurbitaceae) landraces from the Po Valley (Northern Italy)

Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2018
Identifying crop genetic resources represent an important aspect of agricultural biodiversity conservation. However, conservation of landraces is challenging because they often cannot be properly identified, or have already suffered from genetic erosion,

Comprehensive Evaluation of Yunnan Potato Landraces: Agronomic, Sensory, and Nutritional Traits

Foods
This study focused on 48 landraces from Yunnan Province, with seven commercially bred varieties as controls. Descriptive analysis and variance analysis were employed to evaluate the landraces across various aspects, including agronomic traits, tuber ...

Characterization of crtRB1 Gene Polymorphism and β-Carotene Content in Maize Landraces Originated From North Eastern Himalayan Region (NEHR) of India

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2020
Micronutrient malnutrition or hidden hunger affects a large population in developing and developed countries. One of the major micronutrient deficiencies is vitamin A, which causes several major disorders such as growth retardation, blindness, and ...

Behaviour and biology of Chilo partellus on maize landraces

, 2014
Plants defend themselves against herbivores through activation of both constitutive and induced defences. Previous studies reported that egg deposition on maize landraces induces the release of volatiles that attract parasitoids, but little is known on ...

Spike productivity in relation to yield as criterion for emmer wheat breeding [PDF]

, 2011
Landraces, which are unbred cereal species, and include in particular the tetraploid emmer wheat, have become an important focus for the activities of local or organic farmers, processors and consumers of organic products. This study is based on analyses
