Abstract Harnessing genetic diversity in major staple crops through the development of new breeding capabilities is essential to ensure food security 1 . Here we examined and phenotypic A. E. Watkins landrace collection 2 bread wheat ( Triticum aestivum ), a global cereal, by whole-genome re-sequencing 827 landraces 208 modern cultivars in-depth field evaluation spanning decade. We found that are derived from two seven ancestral groups maintain very long-range haplotype integrity. The...

A high-resolution genetic map combined with haplotype analyses identified a wheat ortholog of rice gene APO1 as the best candidate for 7AL locus affecting spikelet number per spike. better understanding genes controlling differences in grain yield components can accelerate improvements required to satisfy future food demands. In this study, we promising underlying quantitative trait (QTL) on chromosome arm regulating spike (SNS). We used large heterogeneous inbred families ( > 10,000 plants)...

Xu, Y., An, D., Li, H. and 2011. Review: Breeding wheat for enhanced micronutrients. Can. J. Plant Sci. 91: 231–237. Low concentrations or deficiencies of bioavailable iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) other essential micronutrients in human food afflict a large proportion the world's population. biofortification, to improve mineral edible portions crop plants by conventional breeding modern transgenic approaches, is regarded as most economical sustainable strategy. Many researchers have demonstrated...

Rye (Secale cereale L.) possesses many valuable genes that can be used for improving disease resistance, yield and environment adaptation of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). However, the documented resistance stocks derived from rye is faced severe challenge due to variation virulent isolates in pathogen populations. Therefore, it necessary develop desirable germplasm search novel gene sources against constantly accumulated isolates. In present study, a new wheat-rye line designated as WR49-1...

Plant height (PH), spike length (SL) and compactness (SCN) are important agronomic traits in wheat due to their strong correlations with lodging yield. Thus, dissection of genetic basis is essential for the improvement plant architecture yield potential breeding. The objective this study was map quantitative trait loci (QTL) PH, SL SCN a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from cross 'PuBing3228 × Gao8901' (PG-RIL) evaluate values these QTL improve yield.In current study, Five,...

Abstract Quantitative trait loci ( QTL s) for salt tolerance with additive, epistatic and × treatment interaction effects at seedling stage in wheat were identified. A set of 131 recombinant inbred lines derived from cross Chuan 35050 Shannong 483 evaluated under stress normal conditions. Wide variation was found all studied traits. total 18 additive 16 s detected, among which five 11 significant effects. Ten clusters identified, each may represent a single gene or closely linked genes. The...

Abstract Background Kernel weight and morphology are important traits affecting cereal yields quality. Dissecting the genetic basis of thousand kernel (TKW) its related is an effective method to improve wheat yield. Results In this study, we performed quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis using recombinant inbred lines derived from cross ‘PuBing3228 × Gao8901’ (PG-RIL) dissect traits. A total 17 stable QTLs were identified, notably, two QTkw.cas-1A.2 QTkw.cas-4A explained largest portion...

Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, is a serious disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) throughout the world. Host resistance most effective and preferred means for managing this disease. Line 10V-2, breeding line with superior agronomic performance, shows broad-spectrum seedling to powdery mildew. Genetic analysis demonstrated that its was controlled single dominant gene, tentatively designated Pm10V-2. This gene localized near documented Pm2 locus on chromosome 5DS...

Introduction Identification of stable major quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for yield-related traits is important yield potential improvement in wheat breeding. Methods In the present study, we genotyped a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population using Wheat 660K SNP array and constructed high-density genetic map. The map showed high collinearity with genome assembly. Fourteen were evaluated six environments QTL analysis. Results Discussion A total 12 environmentally QTLs identified at least...

Abstract Sorghum is rich in phenolic compounds, such as acids, flavonoids, and anthocyanins. Among them, 3-deoxyanthocyanin (3-DXA) a rare subclass of anthocyanins, which has not only antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer functions, but also good thermal stability, colouring effect, well unique properties acid alkali resistance. In this study, we extracted 3-DXA from sorghum grains analysed its composition. Component analysis indicated that the purified mainly contained apigenin...

Abstract Hessian fly (HF), Mayetiola destructor (Say), is a serious pest of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) worldwide. Growing resistant cultivars the most effective and economical approach for HF management. Previous screening 176 accessions from Pakistan only identified Parvaz‐94 with high resistance to biotype Great Plains (GP), predominant in US Plains. To determine quantitative trait loci (QTL) Parvaz‐94, we evaluated population 178 recombinant inbred lines × Cadenza GP constructed...
