Genome-wide association analysis identifies loci governing mercury accumulation in maize

Scientific Reports, 2017
Owing to the rapid development of urbanisation and industrialisation, heavy metal pollution has become a widespread environmental problem. Maize planted on mercury (Hg)-polluted soil can absorb and accumulate Hg in its edible parts, posing a potential ...

Quantitative trait loci conferring grain mineral nutrient concentrations in durum wheat 3 wild emmer wheat RIL population [PDF]

, 2009
Mineral nutrient malnutrition, and particularly deficiency in zinc and iron, afflicts over 3 billion people worldwide. Wild emmer wheat, Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides, genepool harbors a rich allelic repertoire for mineral nutrients in the grain.

Genome-wide association study identifies candidate genes for starch content regulation in maize kernels

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Kernel starch content is an important trait in maize (Zea mays L.) as it accounts for 65% to 75% of the dry kernel weight and positively correlates with seed yield. A number of starch synthesis-related genes have been identified in maize in recent years.

Comparative QTL analysis of maize seed artificial aging between an immortalized F2 population and its corresponding RILs

Crop Journal, 2016
Seed aging decreases the quality and vigor of crop seeds, thereby causing substantial agricultural and economic losses in crops. To identify genetic differences in seed aging between homozygotes and heterozygotes in maize, the seeds of a set of ...

Genotypic variation in phosphorus efficiency between wheat cultivars grown under greenhouse and field conditions [PDF]

, 2006
Phosphorus (P) efficiency (relative growth), which is described as the ratio of shoot dry matter or grain yield at deficient P supply to that obtained under adequate P supply, was compared in 25 winter wheat cultivars grown under greenhouse and field ...

Proteomic analysis reveals that auxin homeostasis influences the eighth internode length heterosis in maize (Zea mays)

Scientific Reports, 2018
Ear height is an important maize morphological trait that influences plant lodging resistance in the field, and is based on the number and length of internodes under the ear. To explore the effect of internodes on ear height, the internodes under the ear
