Response of Summer Maize Photosynthate Accumulation and Distribution to Shading Stress Assessed by Using 13CO2 Stable Isotope Tracer in the Field

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Maize is one of the most important crops globally that provides food, feed, and bioenergy. However, shading stress threatens maize production. In this study, we investigated the effects of shading on photosynthate accumulation and distribution of summer ...

Correlation and path analysis in rainy season sorghum [Sorghum bicolour (L.) Moench]

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2016
Association and path analysis was attempted for five traits viz., days to 50% flowering, plant height, panicle length, days to maturity, test weight and grain yield per plant. Thirty sorghum hybrids their respective parents and three checks were studied.

Molecular markers linked to fertility restorer gene in A2 cytoplasm male sterility of pigeon pea [Cajanus cajan]

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2016
In pigeonpea the cytoplasmic-genetic male sterility (CMS) system is considered to be a feasible approach for the development of hybrids. Identification of CMS lines and their putative restorers using molecular markers in the early stage of growth is an ...

The Complex Genetic Architecture of Early Root and Shoot Traits in Flax Revealed by Genome-Wide Association Analyses

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Roots are fundamental organs for water and nutrient uptake as well as for signal transduction in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Flax has a shallow tap root system that relies mostly on top soil nutrient and moisture resources.
