Extracting knowledge networks from plant scientific literature: potato tuber flesh color as an exemplary trait

BMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Scientific literature carries a wealth of information crucial for research, but only a fraction of it is present as structured information in databases and therefore can be analyzed using traditional data analysis tools.

Implementation of genomic selection in public-sector plant breeding programs: Current status and opportunities

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2021
The usefulness of genomic selection (GS) for improvement of complex traits has been demonstrated in plant and animal breeding. While fully adopted in the livestock sector and commercial plant breeding, the implementation of GS in public-sector plant ...

Population dynamics of the leafhopper Psammotettix alienus Dahlb. and two-year investigations into the occurrence of Wheat dwarf virus (WDV) in crops of winter barley located in the Middle German Dry Region, Germany

Plant Protection Science, 2002
From 2000 to 2001 the population dynamics of Psammotettix alienus Dahlb. were recorded using a sweep-net or a biocoenometer. The investigations were carried out in Zscherben near Halle (Middle German Dry Region). The imagines of the first generation of P.

META-R: A software to analyze data from multi-environment plant breeding trials

Crop Journal, 2020
META-R (multi-environment trial analysis in R) is a suite of R scripts linked by a graphical user interface (GUI) designed in Java language. The objective of META-R is to accurately analyze multi-environment plant breeding trials (METs) by fitting mixed ...

DELAY OF GERMINATION1 requires PP2C phosphatases of the ABA signalling pathway to control seed dormancy

Nature Communications, 2017
The DOG1 protein is a major regulator of seed dormancy in Arabidopsis. Here, Née et al. provide evidence that DOG1 can interact with the type 2C protein phosphatases AHG1 and AHG3 and that this represents the convergence point of the DOG1-regulated ...

Reduced phloem uptake of Myzus persicae on an aphid resistant pepper accession

BMC Plant Biology, 2018
Background The green peach aphid (GPA), Myzus persicae, is economically one of the most threatening pests in pepper cultivation, which not only causes direct damage but also transmits many viruses. Breeding aphid resistant pepper varieties is a promising

Drought Stress Interacts With Powdery Mildew Infection in Tomato

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Under field conditions, plants are often exposed to more than one stress factor at the same time, and therefore need to adapt to different combinations of stresses.
