Marker assisted rice breeding for resistance to biotic and abiotic stressors
Due to the fact that blast (causative agent – Pyricularia oryzae Cav.) is considered to be one of the harmful diseases of rice around the world, weeds compete with the crop for light, mineral nutrition and space, the accelerated development of resistant ...

Cumulative individual seed production in the polycarpic Caesalpinia gilliesii (Fabaceae): effects of temporal variability in floral display, plant density and pollination [PDF]
In polycarpic species, floral display size and density of conspecific neighbours are time variable as well as their effects on pollination and fecundity.

Wheat-barley hybridization – the last forty years [PDF]
Several useful alien gene transfers have been reported from related species into wheat (Triticum aestivum), but very few publications have dealt with the development of wheat/barley (Hordeum vulgare) introgression lines. An overview is given here of

Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

BRS Progresso – Rye cultivar [PDF]
The rye cultivar BRS Progresso, developed by the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa), is the result of a synthetic cross of 18 open-pollinated, self-incompatible lines, resistant to stem rust.

Topicality. BSSS germplasm is widely used in most breeding programs of leading companies, but is characterised by insufficient variety of precocious lines. The relevance of the work is to determine the main breeding traits of self-pollinated maize lines of the heterotic BSSS group adapted to the conditions of the Northern Steppe of Ukraine. Purpose.

Manifold limits on seed production by individual flowering plants
Abstract Premise Historically, angiosperm seed production has been considered to be either pollen or resource limited. However, seed production involves more than pollen and seed resources and typically involves multiple ovules in multiple flowers. Therefore, various constraints may act simultaneously. Methods Proportional components of seed production

MAIN TRENDS OF MAIZE BREEDING IN ARRIGC NAMED AFTER I.G. KALINENKO
The main trends of the breeding of new corn hybrids in ARRIGC are the breeding of the hybrids with tolerance to drought, high water yielding capacity of the grain during ripening, high contents of starch in grain, breeding for ensilage and green forage ...
