Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Developing barley grains must balance the use of imported sucrose between soluble sugars and storage starch, but how this balance is controlled remains unclear. Here we show that loss of the plastidial α‐glucan phosphorylase HvPHO1 causes starch and soluble sugars to accumulate concurrently in barley grains.

WHEAT LANDRACES FOR NOVEL RESISTANCE TO BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC STRESSES [PDF]
, 2015 Wheat production around the world is challenged by various plant diseases and unfavorable environmental conditions. Wheat landraces from diverse geographic regions are sources of unexploited genetic diversity that can be introduced into modern wheat ...

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of wheat landraces of Pakistan
Emirates Journal of Food and Agriculture, 2014 Wheat landraces represent a large reservoir of genetic variation of various traits. In this study 28 entries from a collection of 40 maintained in AARI, Faisalabad initially collected from northern Pakistan (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Baluchistan) were evaluated for their genetic diversity using microsatellite (SSR) primers.

Seed politics in Turkey: the awakening of a landrace wheat and its prospects
The Journal of Peasant Studies, 2020 This article analyses the current state of seed politics in Turkey focusing on the recent appropriation and commercialization of a wheat landrace, Karakilcik bugdayi (black-awn wheat) in Seferihisa...

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a vital cereal crop in dry regions worldwide. However, in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), grain yields from currently grown varieties remain low (< 1 ton/ha) and exhibit variable nutrient composition. Therefore, the objective of this study was to undertake a genetic analysis of selected East African‐adapted ...

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Winter rye is the tallest small‐grain cereal and consequently more prone to lodging. Plant growth regulators are routinely used in commercial production to reduce the risk of lodging. To select genotypes with better tolerance to stem lodging despite its incidental character, we tested the use of a provocation trial with higher nitrogen level ...

Determination of genetic diversity among Turkish durum wheat landraces by microsatellites [PDF]
, 2013 Wheat landraces represent an important source of genetic variation that can be used for future wheat breeding program. The rich wheat landraces from Turkey have not been sufficiently analyzed genetically.
