Wheat gibberellin oxidase genes and their functions in regulating tillering [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Multiple genetic factors control tillering, a key agronomy trait for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) yield. Previously, we reported a dwarf-monoculm mutant (dmc) derived from wheat cultivar Guomai 301, and found that the contents of gibberellic acid 3 (GA3)

Target Population of Environments for Wheat Breeding in India: Definition, Prediction and Genetic Gains

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
In this study, we defined the target population of environments (TPE) for wheat breeding in India, the largest wheat producer in South Asia, and estimated the correlated response to the selection and prediction ability of five selection environments (SEs)

Incorporating Genome-Wide Association Mapping Results Into Genomic Prediction Models for Grain Yield and Yield Stability in CIMMYT Spring Bread Wheat

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Untangling the genetic architecture of grain yield (GY) and yield stability is an important determining factor to optimize genomics-assisted selection strategies in wheat.

Morphology does not covary with predicted behavioral correlations of the domestication syndrome in dogs

Evolution Letters, 2020
Domesticated animals display suites of altered morphological, behavioral, and physiological traits compared to their wild ancestors, a phenomenon known as the domestication syndrome (DS).

Necessity as a driver in bending agricultural gender norms in the Eastern Gangetic Plains of South Asia

International Journal of Agricultural Sustainability, 2023
The majority of the farmers in the rural Global South continue to depend directly or indirectly on agriculture for their livelihoods. Despite the fact that women account for almost half of the world’s farmers, they face gender-specific challenges such as

Wheat [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2009
Wheat is the dominant crop in temperate countries being used for human food and livestock feed. Its success depends partly on its adaptability and high yield potential but also on the gluten protein fraction which confers the viscoelastic properties that allow dough to be processed into bread, pasta, noodles, and other food products.

Groundwater Challenges of the Lower Rio Grande: A Case Study of Legal Issues in Texas and New Mexico

Resources, 2015
In 1938, Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado signed the Rio Grande Compact, establishing terms of apportionment for some of the water from the Rio Grande for the three states. Following congressional approval in 1939, this compact governs water allocation in

Sparse kernel models provide optimization of training set design for genomic prediction in multiyear wheat breeding data

The Plant Genome, 2022
The success of genomic selection (GS) in breeding schemes relies on its ability to provide accurate predictions of unobserved lines at early stages. Multigeneration data provides opportunities to increase the training data size and thus, the likelihood ...

Experiences With Conservation Agriculture in the Eastern Gangetic Plains: Farmer Benefits, Challenges, and Strategies That Frame the Next Steps for Wider Adoption

Frontiers in Agronomy, 2022
While there are numerous studies that explore the agronomic and the economic benefits of Conservation Agriculture in South Asia, only few studies have explored the farmers' experiences and the drivers of its adoption.
