The Gossypium genus is used to investigate emergent consequences of polyploidy in cotton species; comparative genomic analyses reveal a complex evolutionary history including interactions among subgenomes that result genetic novelty elite cottons and provide insight into the evolution spinnable fibres. A phylogenetic study plants provides insights role angiosperm evolution, specifically, emergence fibres domesticated cottons. authors show an abrupt five- sixfold ploidy increase about 60...
Canopy temperature has long been recognized as an indicator of plant water status and a potential tool for irrigation scheduling. In the present study, using thermal images in-field estimation cotton under range regimes was investigated. Thermal were taken with radiometric infrared video camera. Specific leaves that appeared in camera field view sampled, their LWP measured calculated from images. Regression models built order to predict according crop canopy empirical formulation stress...
Micronutrient malnutrition afflicts over three billion people worldwide and the numbers are continuously increasing. Developing genetically micronutrient‐enriched cereals, which predominant source of human dietary, is essential to alleviate worldwide. Wheat chromosome 6B derived from wild emmer wheat [ Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides (Körn.) Thell] was previously reported be associated with high Zn concentration in grain. In present study, recombinant substitution lines (RSLs),...
ABSTRACT Drought is the major factor limiting wheat productivity worldwide. The gene pool of wild emmer wheat, Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides , harbours a rich allelic repertoire for morpho‐physiological traits conferring drought resistance. genetic and physiological bases responses were studied here in tetraploid population 152 recombinant inbreed lines (RILs), derived from cross between durum (cv. Langdon) (acc# G18‐16), under contrasting water availabilities. Wide variation was found...
The interaction of genotype with environment is primary importance in many aspects genomic research and a special priority the study major crops grown wide range environments. Water deficit, factor limiting plant growth crop productivity worldwide, expected to increase spread arid lands. In genetically equivalent cotton populations under well-watered water-limited conditions (the latter responsible for yield reduction ∼50% relative conditions), quality were shown be partly accounted by...
Wheat is undoubtedly one of the world's major food sources since dawn Near Eastern agriculture and up to present day. Morphological, physiological, genetic modifications involved in domestication subsequent evolution under were investigated a tetraploid recombinant inbred line population, derived from cross between durum wheat its immediate progenitor wild emmer wheat. Experimental data used test previous assumptions regarding protracted process. The brittle rachis (Br) spike, thought be...
Background and AimsMicronutrient malnutrition, particularly zinc iron deficiency, afflicts over three billion people worldwide due to low dietary intake. In the current study, wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides), progenitor of domesticated wheat, was tested for (1) genetic diversity in grain nutrient concentrations, (2) associations among nutrients their relationships with plant productivity, (3) association eco-geographical origin accessions.
Wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides) is considered a promising source for improving stress resistances in domesticated wheat. Here we explored the potential of selected quantitative trait loci (QTLs) from wild wheat, introgressed via marker-assisted selection, to enhance drought resistance elite durum (T. durum) and bread aestivum) cultivars. The resultant near-isogenic lines (BC3F3 BC3F4) were genotyped using SNP array confirm genomic regions evaluated two consecutive years...
ABSTRACT Wild emmer wheat ( Triticum turgidum spp. dicoccoides (Körn.) Thell.), the tetraploid progenitor of cultivated wheat, is a potential source for various agronomical traits, including drought resistance. The objectives this study were to characterize (1) genetic diversity resistance in wild and (2) relationship between responses germplasm ecogeographical parameters its collection sites. A total 110 accessions consisting 25 populations three control durum cultivars examined under two...
ABSTRACT Testing of the extent to which different complex traits share common genetic control provides a means distinguish associations that are truly diagnostic potential for improved adaptation abiotic stress, from incidental phenotypic correlations. In two generations progeny cross between Gossypium hirsutum and barbadense , quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping was used evaluate correspondence in selected physiological measures productivity under water‐limited well‐watered environments,...
AtNHX1, the most abundant vacuolar Na+/H+ antiporter in Arabidopsis thaliana, mediates transport of Na+ and K+ into vacuole, influencing plant development contributing to salt tolerance. In this report, microarray expression profiles wild type plants, a T-DNA insertion knockout mutant AtNHX1 (nhx1), 'rescued' line (NHX1::nhx1) were exposed both short (12 h 48 h) long (one two weeks) durations non-lethal stress identify key gene transcripts associated with response that are influenced by...
ABSTRACT The association between allelic diversity and ecogeographical variables was studied in natural populations of wild emmer wheat [ Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides (Körn.) Thell.], the tetraploid progenitor cultivated wheat. Patterns 54 microsatellite loci were analyzed a collection 145 accessions representing 25 that sampled across naturally occurring aridity gradient Israel surrounding regions. obtained results revealed 56% genetic variation resided among within populations, while...
