A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Genetic and Phenotypic Diversity of European Triticale: GWAS of Yellow Rust Resistance and Agronomic Traits

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Triticale (x Triticosecale Wittmack) is an interspecific hybrid of wheat and rye. It is a promising grain and forage crop that thrives in poorer soils and low‐input farming systems. It can serve as a viable alternative to traditional small grains such as wheat and barley, bringing diversity to crop rotations and enhancing biodiversity in ...

QTL Mapping of Several Seed Quality Traits in the DH Population NPZ06 × NPZ09 (Brassica napus L.) for Marker‐Assisted Selection

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Enhancing nutritional quality of oilseed rape requires deeper insight into the genetic control of seed quality traits. This study analysed the effect of varying soil phosphorus (P) levels on seed quality traits in the hybrid cultivar Architect. NIRS and laboratory methods were used to quantify total seed P and phytic acid (IP6) content.

Mapping of a New Locus for Powdery Mildew Resistance in the Caucasus Apple Malus orientalis

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Powdery mildew is one of the most significant fungal diseases affecting apple, both the tree and its fruits, causing considerable economic losses to apple growers. Controlling this disease can require the application of multiple fungicides. A more sustainable approach is to grow resistant cultivars.

Mapping of Fire Blight Resistance QTL in the European Pear (Pyrus communis L.) Cultivar ‘Petersbirne’

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The breeding of pear (Pyrus communis) cultivars that meet market requirements and are at the same time resistant to fire blight is a challenging task beacuse appropriate resistance donors are scarce. To identify valuable resistance sources, phenotypic screening and genetic characterization are indispensable.

A Gamma Ray–Induced Dwarf and Early Mutant of Brassica juncea With Favourable Traits for Developing High‐Yielding, Dwarf/Semi‐Dwarf Genotypes

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction of dwarfism to cereals has set a new paradigm in crop improvement programmes. To date, very little progress has been made in the development of high‐yielding dwarf/semi‐dwarf genotypes in oilseed Brassica. Previous attempts using induced mutagenesis employed in the induction of dwarfism in Brassica crops yielded limited success ...

Genetic Architecture of Southern Stem Canker Resistance in Elite Southern Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) Germplasm

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Southern stem canker (SSC), caused by the fungus Diaporthe aspalathi, is one of the major constraints to soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) production in the southern United States and South America. Genetic resistance is the most effective strategy for managing SSC; however, the genetic architecture underlying resistance in elite southern ...

Genome‐Wide Association Study Elucidates the Genetic Architecture of Manganese Tolerance in Brassica napus

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Brassica napus (canola) is a significant contributor to the world's oil production and is cultivated across continents, yet acidic soils with aluminium (Al3+) and manganese (Mn2+) toxicities limit its production. The genetic determinants underlying natural variation for acidic soil tolerance in canola are unknown and need to be determined ...
