Is it the end of TILLING era in plant science?

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Since its introduction in 2000, the TILLING strategy has been widely used in plant research to create novel genetic diversity. TILLING is based on chemical or physical mutagenesis followed by the rapid identification of mutations within genes of interest.

The suppression of TdMRP3 genes reduces the phytic acid and increases the nutrient accumulation in durum wheat grain

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Micronutrient malnutrition affects more than half of the world population. Reduced bioavailability of microelements in the raw materials is considered one of the main causes of mineral deficiency in populations whose diet is largely based on the ...

The Bond Strength Behavior of Polymer-modified Mortars During a Wetting and Drying Process [PDF]

Materials Research, 2015
Polymer-modified mortars are highly popular for setting exterior tile systems and low-porosity ceramic tiles because they possess greater flexibility and higher bond strengths than conventional mortars which increases cladding serviceability.

Strigolactones in Sugarcane Growth and Development

Agronomy, 2023
Sugarcane is a complex polyploid aneuploid cash crop, and transgenic varieties are important for molecular genetic and traditional breeding approaches. Herein, the sugarcane variety ROC22 served as the receptor, the Bar gene served as a screening marker,

Review of litter turning during a grow-out as a litter management practice to achieve dry and friable litter in poultry production

Poultry Science, 2021
Maintaining dry litter that chickens can “work” is a key objective for successful meat chicken production as it reduces the likelihood of health and welfare issues by breaking down and working excreta and contributing to the water evaporation process ...

Potential Application of Alternate Tillage (AT) in a Rice–Wheat Rotation System—Based on Soil Physical Properties, Wheat Growth and Yield

Soil Systems, 2022
Alternate tillage (AT) has the potential to reduce inputs and improve soil quality and crop yield, but there has been no research on the effect of AT on soil and wheat in a rice–wheat rotation system.

Development and Characterization of an Ethyl Methane Sulfonate (EMS) Induced Mutant Population in Capsicum annuum L.

Plants, 2020
Plant breeding explores genetic diversity in useful traits to develop new, high-yielding, and improved cultivars. Ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) is a chemical widely used to induce mutations at loci that regulate economically essential traits ...
