Genetic relationships among 104 accessions of Cucurbita pepo were assessed from polymorphisms in 134 SSR (microsatellite) and four SCAR loci, yielding a total 418 alleles, distributed all 20 linkage groups. distance values calculated, dendrogram constructed, principal coordinate analyses conducted. The results showed 100 the as three clusters representing each recognized subspecies, pepo, texana, fraterna. remaining accessions, having very small, round, striped fruits, assumed central...
Soybean cultivation holds great potential for a sustainable agriculture in Europe, but adaptation remains central issue. In this large mega-environment (MEV) study, 75 European cultivars from five early maturity groups (MGs 000-II) were evaluated maturity-related traits at 22 locations 10 countries across Europe. Clustering of the based on phenotypic similarity revealed six MEVs latitudinal direction and suggested several more. Analysis identified with that are optimally adapted to different...
Seed protein content is important for both feed and food utilisation of soybean. In soybeans grown in Central Europe, considerable variation was due to seasonal influences, as demonstrated different experiments from a breeding programme. soybean genotypes early maturity groups, average high (range 399—476 g kg−1) found years with air temperature moderate rates rainfall during the seed-filling period, whereas seed drastically reduced 265–347 seasons insufficient nitrogen fixation or higher...
Abstract Camelina is an alternative oilseed crop species with limited information about the origin and diversity of available germplasm. Therefore, a set 130 camelina accessions from world collection was evaluated for oil content, protein content 1000‐seed weight in field experiments grown three macro‐environments Austria. Based on phenotypic data, were categorized into four groups different seed characteristics using k ‐means cluster analysis or principal component extraction. Subsequently,...
Sixty Aegilops tauschii accessions and 60 European hexaploid wheat varieties were analyzed with 14 microsatellite (WMS) primer sets to (i) study the phylogeny of Ae. tauschii, (ii) search for a specific genotype most closely related D genome wheat, (iii) narrow down presumed birthplace latter. An average 6.5 4.0 alleles per locus was detected in respectively. The highest genetic diversity found Transcaucasia southeast Caspian Sea. Distribution 87 (without null alleles) did not allow...
Abstract Soybean ( Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is a legume crop important for global food security due to supplying high-quality vegetable protein and oil. China the origin rich center of soybean genetic diversity represented by numerous landraces other resources. During nineteenth twentieth centuries, world-wide dissemination plant introductions laid foundation modern production. Due selection regional adaptation, present-day elite cultivars do have comparatively narrow base. However, as...
Summary The United Nations have declared 2016 as the International Year of Pulses, which aims at communicating various benefits legume cropping and legume-protein-based food consumption. As term “pulses” is inherently excluding soybean from other grain legumes, this review challenging scientific justification separation both historical crop science perspectives toward a better understanding legumes their contributions to security. An analysis development uses reveals that it not used...
Abstract The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and microsatellite techniques were used to evaluate the genetic diversity among 18 soybean genotypes selected for a breeding programme increase protein content of varieties adapted central European growing conditions. Out 33 primers in RAPD reactions, only 12 showed polymorphism useful characterization these genotypes. In contrast, all primer pairs this study detected with 2–6 alleles per locus. Similarity measures cluster analysis made...
Abstract Background Biomass accumulation as a growth indicator can be significant in achieving high and stable soybean yields. More robust genotypes have better potential for exploiting available resources such water or sunlight. data implemented new trait breeding programs could beneficial the selection of varieties that are more competitive against weeds radiation use efficiency. The standard techniques biomass determination invasive, inefficient, restricted to one-time point per plot....
Camelina (Camelina sativa (L.) Crtz., false flax) is described as a species requiring fewer inputs than other oilseed crops thus making it an interesting alternative in sustainable cropping systems. As information on the combined effects of nitrogen and sulphur camelina yield quality parameters meagre, pot fertilization experiment was carried out with applied NH4NO3 at three increasing rates equivalent to range from 63 up 127 kg ha−1. These treatments were additions (NH4)2SO4 achieve soil...
Abstract Soybean seeds contain phytochemicals such as polyamines and isoflavones, which have been identified functional components mediating health benefits in association with the consumption of soy foods. While a clear picture spatial distribution these within seed is lacking, information would be important to enhance or reduce their concentration respective foods through processing. Thus, objective present study was visualize most relevant respect soybean seeds. Mature were subject...
Abstract Genetic adaptation of soybean phenological stages to high‐latitude long‐day environments is the major pre‐requisite for enhancing regional plant‐based protein production. Both E ‐genes controlling flowering and growing environment determine timing maturity, ‐gene composition might differ between Chinese European soybeans bearing potential improving adaptability. Therefore, 140 early maturity elite cultivars either or origin were genotyped E1 E4 loci, genotypes tested across 17...
