Stalk lodging is the structural failure of crops due to external loading such as wind. Short-stature (i.e., dwarf) varieties wheat and rice have shown promise in reducing rates. However, similar dwarfing large gains like maize sorghum has typically been accompanied by undesirable commercial characteristics, including significantly decreased grain yields. The purpose this paper quantify relationship between resistance plant height better understand potential impact short-stature on...
The world has food security needs that are currently not being met. Stalk lodging undermines crop productivity and incurs global yield losses of at least $6 billion in maize (Zea mays L.). Genetic architecture stalk resistance, a measure the ability to withstand lodging, remains poorly resolved, creating bottleneck for genetic improvement. Identification diverse plant traits multiple length scales biological organizations contribute resistance characterization natural variation these is...
Abstract The sensitivity of Polygonum aviculare L. seeds to the dormancy-breaking effect cycle-doses fluctuating temperature changes as lose dormancy due storage under stratification temperatures. Sensitivity during seed were characterized by a decrease in number cycles required saturate germination response, and progressive loss requirement for fluctuations breakage increasing fractions population. rate these was dependent on at which stored stratification; lower temperatures produced...
Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) is a devastating disease in cereals around the world. Because it quantitative inherited and technically difficult to reproduce, breeding increase resistance wheat germplasm slow. Genomic selection (GS) form of marker-assisted (MAS) that simultaneously estimates all locus, haplotype or marker effects across entire genome calculate genomic estimated values (GEBVs). Since its inception, there have been many studies demonstrate utility GS approaches for crops. In this...
Genomic selection (GS) is being applied routinely in wheat breeding programs. For the evaluation of preliminary lines, this tool becoming important because lines are generally evaluated few environments with no replications due to minimal amount seed available breeder. A total 816 belonging advanced or yield trials were included study. We designed different training populations (TP) predict (PYT) consisting of: (i) program; (ii) 50% set many families; (iii) only full sibs, each family....
Genomic selection (GS) has shown successful results as a tool to increase Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) resistance in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). In this study we performed genome-wide association (GWAS) on regional FHB nurseries select significant SNPs for deoxynivalenol (DON) and DSK, an index of DON, rating damaged kernels (FDK). The objective was determine whether reduced number markers could improve predictions traits compared the full set three populations 306, 281 198 lines that were...
Fusarium head blight (FHB), caused by graminearum (Schwabe), is an economically important disease of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.). After epidemics in the USA during 1990s, a resistance‐breeding effort was undertaken focusing initially on transfer Type II resistance from unadapted Chinese cultivars. The objective this study to determine magnitude and heritability populations derived adapted parents. Three soft red winter (SRW) 40 families each were artificially inoculated with under mist...
Whiskey production originated in Scotland the 15th century and was based on malted barley. As Scotch-Irish settlers came into Ohio river valley, they began fermenting distilling primary grain of North America, maize. These earlier started a heritage; created American Whiskey. The bourbon industry Kentucky had tremendous growth last 20 years, currently, distilleries have broad increase product innovation, new raw materials, improved sustainability, efficient processes, diversification.
