Construction of an Intragenic SSR-Based Linkage Map and QTL Mapping for Agronomic Traits in Chinese Cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis)

open access: yesHorticulturae, 2022
Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis) is one of the most widely cultivated and economically important vegetables in China. Constructing an effective genetic linkage map and mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) related to yield and leafy ...

Remote sensing of vegetation dynamics in agro-ecosystems using SMAP vegetation optical depth and optical vegetation indices [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The ESA's SMOS and the NASA's SMAP missions, launched in 2009 and 2015, respectively, are the first two missions having on-board L-band microwave sensors, which are very sensitive to the water content in soils and vegetation. Focusing on the vegetation signal at L-band, we have implemented an inversion approach for SMAP that allows deriving vegetation ...

Parental child-feeding strategies in relation to Dutch children's fruit and vegetable intake [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Objective: To identify parental child-feeding strategies that may increase children's fruit or vegetable intake, since the relationship between these strategies and children's intake has never been investigated for fruit and vegetables as two separate ...

QTL mapping and genome-wide association study reveal two novel loci associated with green flesh color in cucumber

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2019
Background Green flesh color, resulting from the accumulation of chlorophyll, is one of the most important commercial traits for the fruits. The genetic network regulating green flesh formation has been studied in tomato, melon and watermelon.

Perspectives and insight toward solving flaws of vegetation indices [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
This perspective manuscript addressed several unsolved questions in vegetation index calculation such as the variation of the spectral fingerprint of crops and the differences in absorbance and reflectance spectral patterns of the young and mature leaves. The spectral shift is evident due to temporal and spatial variations. It means a generalized index,

Transcriptome analysis reveals anthocyanin regulation in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L.) at low temperatures

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Chinese cabbage that prefers cold conditions is also affected by low-temperature stress, such as the accumulation of leaf anthocyanins. Research on anthocyanin biosynthesis and regulation mechanisms has made great progress.
