Heterosis in breeding of sweet sorghum

Зерновое хозяйство России, 2018
Heterosis in breeding of sweet sorghum The breeding work with sorghum is directed on the development both highly productive and highly heterosis hybrids which usually surpass the best parental form on 15-30% and sometimes on 50% in grain and green chop productivity. The essential direction of sorghum breeding is to grow new hybrids with high effects of

A Global Scoping Review on Alternative Ready‐to‐Use Therapeutic Foods

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
This scoping review identified 53 alternative RUTF formulations replacing primarily peanuts and/or milk. Many showed promising results in acceptability and effectiveness, with potential cost savings. Further research is needed on outcomes beyond anthropometric recovery including cost‐effectiveness, safety, accessibility, macro and micronutrient ...

Cryptic CAM photosynthesis in Joshua tree (Yucca brevifolia, Y. jaegeriana)

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Joshua trees are long‐lived perennial monocots native to the Mojave Desert in North America. Composed of two species, Yucca brevifolia and Y. jaegeriana (Asparagaceae), Joshua trees are imperiled by climate change, with decreases in suitable habitat predicted under future climate change scenarios.

Visacane, the Cirad quarantine tool for the exchange of pest and disease-free sugarcane germplasm [PDF]

, 2014
Sugarcane varietal improvement requires the introduction of vegetative propagation material. The continued increase of international and intercontinental trade of plants has led to the enforcement of quarantine measures in many countries before the ...

A B3 Domain Transcription Factor NtMAB1 Regulates the Release and Outgrowth of Axillary Buds in Tobacco

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The release and outgrowth of axillary buds are essential parts of the process of shoot branching in plants, but knowledge of the underlying regulatory mechanisms remains limited. Analysis of mab1‐D, a tobacco mutant with a greater number of axillary branches, showed that the mutant phenotype resulted from positive modulation of axillary buds ...

African botanical heritage for new crop development [PDF]

, 2008
The African continent is rather poor in plant biodiversity when compared to other continents on and around the equator. Nevertheless, lots of useful plant species have been domesticated from Sub-Sahara Africa material.

Winning by Losing: Exploiting Modified Plant Susceptibility Genes to Counteract Necrotrophic Fungal Pathogens

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The infection of plants by pathogens is an intricate process in which genes from both the host and pathogen contribute to the infection process. Susceptibility (S) genes have been defined as plant genes that encode functions that are exploited by pathogens to invade and reproduce in host plants. Mutations in S‐genes therefore result in reduced

Deciphering the Sodium Sensing Mechanisms in Glycophytes and Halophytes

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plants, including halophytes (salt‐tolerant) and glycophytes (salt‐sensitive), have developed diverse molecular mechanisms and morphological adaptations to survive in saline environments. The cellular components and molecular processes for salinity sensing and stress tolerance have been extensively identified in glycophytes, but not so with ...
