A candidate gene survey of quantitative trait loci affecting chemical composition in tomato fruit
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2008-07)In tomato, numerous wild-related species have been demonstrated to be untapped sources of valuable genetic variability, including pathogen-resistance genes, nutritional, and industrial quality traits. From a collection of ... -
Genetic dissection of vitamin E biosynthesis in tomato
(Society for Experimental Biology, 2011-07)Vegetables are critical for human health as they are a source of multiple vitamins including vitamin E (VTE). In plants, the synthesis of VTE compounds, tocopherol and tocotrienol, derives from precursors of the shikimate ... -
Identification and validation of QTL for spike fertile floret and fruiting efficiencies in hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(Springer, 2020-06)The spike fruiting efficiency (FE—grains per unit spike dry weight at anthesis, GN/SDW) is a promising trait to improve wheat yield potential. It depends on fertile floret efficiency (fertile florets per unit SDW—FFE, ... -
Mapping QTL for spike fertility and related traits in two doubled haploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) populations
(BMC, 2021-07)Background: In breeding programs, the selection of cultivars with the highest yield potential consisted in the selection of the yield per se, which resulted in cultivars with higher grains per spike (GN) and occasionally ... -
Phenotyping and QTL mapping for cold tolerance at the germination and seedling stages in Argentine temperate rice
(Springer, 2020-07)In Argentina, the yield potential of rice (Oryza sativa L.) under suboptimal temperatures of temperate regions and during early sowing in tropical regions depends on its low-temperature germinability (LTG) and subsequent ... -
Unravelling the complexity of maize resistance to bacterial and fungal diseases: an integrative perspective
(Springer Nature, 2022-02)Maize is one of the most important cereals for both human and animal nutrition, and diseases that affect the crop pose a major threat to global food security. Breeders are racing against time to develop genotypes resistant ...
