QTL evolution under natural infection using a F2 Scavina-6 x ICS1 population for witches'broom resistance in Bahia, Brazil [PDF]

, 2012
Studies to determine the genetic bases to witches´ broom resistance were being carried out in order to identify different genetic sources of resistance and to improve the efficiency of selection using molecular markers.

Recombination suppression in plant adaptation and speciation

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Recombination suppression is increasingly recognized as an important facilitator of genomic divergence and speciation, especially under ongoing gene flow. In plants, however, the broader evolutionary consequences and the mechanisms by which recombination suppression arises and spreads are still incompletely understood, reflecting the inherent ...

Fine-mapping cis-regulatory variants in diverse human populations

eLife, 2019
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are a powerful approach for connecting genotype to phenotype. Most GWAS hits are located in cis-regulatory regions, but the underlying causal variants and their molecular mechanisms remain unknown.

Scaling law links plant growth variation to grain yield in wheat stands

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Growth rate, a fundamental trait associated with plant resource use, scales with plant mass, following consistent allometric power laws shaped by biophysical constraints and natural selection captured in metabolic scaling theory (MST). Although well‐established in wild plants, MST has been overlooked in crop improvement.

A Latent Variable Approach to Multivariate Quantitative Trait Loci [PDF]

, 2010
A novel approach based on latent variable modelling is presented for the analysis of multivariate quantitative and qualitative trait loci. The approach is general in the sense that it enables the joint analysis of many kinds of quantitative and ...

GmSNAP14: a key contributor to soybean cyst nematode resistance in soybean

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Soybean (Glycine max) plants counteract soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) infection through an impairment of soluble N‐ethylmaleimide‐sensitive factor (NSF) attachment protein (α‐SNAP) – NSF interactions and vesicular trafficking leading to cellular toxicity in response to nematode feeding.

Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci Determining Vegetative Growth Traits in Coffea Canephor [PDF]

, 2011
Recently the use of molecular markers has been successfully applied for some crops. For coffee, new opportunities have been opened since Nestlé R&D Centre in collaboration with ICCRI completed the first genetic map of Coffea canephora. This study was

Wheat TaSPL13‐2B Improves Floret Fertility and Enhances Grain Number per Spikelet Through Jasmonic Acid Signalling Pathway

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Floret fertility is a key determinant of grain number per spike and an important factor in cereal crop yield. However, the mechanisms by which phytohormone signalling and transcription factors coordinately regulate floret fertility and spikelet development are not well understood, especially in wheat.

An α/β‐Hydrolase GmABHD6 Controls Seed Oil Content and Yield in Soybean

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed oil content is a key trait in soybean, yet its genetic basis remains largely unresolved. Here, we identify GmABHD6, an α/β‐hydrolase domain‐containing gene, as the causal gene underlying a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) for seed oil content on chromosome 16.
