Abstract:
... Maize has been targeted as one of the major crops for provitamin enrichment and delivery because it is an inexpensive and easily available source of food for millions of people in sub-Saharan Africa. Although tropical-adapted yellow maize contains provitamin-A carotenoids that can be converted into vitamin A in the human body, they represent less than 25% of the total carotenoids in most widely gr ...

Abstract:
... Winter hardiness is a major-limiting factor for St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walt.) Kuntze] grown in the transitional climatic region of the United States. Lab-based freeze tests that mimic the range of field winter survivability in St. Augustinegrass can contribute to the selection of cold hardy genotypes. This study used a whole container method, four freezing temperatures, and t ...

Abstract:
... Downy mildew (DM) is one of the most destructive diseases affecting viticulture, especially in temperate-humid climates. This pathogen is able to differentially attack leaves and grapes, and is currently controlled with repeated applications of fungicides that lead to environmental pollution, development of resistant strains, residual toxicity, and pathogen pressure. The use of resistant grapevine ...

Abstract:
... Modern plant breeding can no longer afford to ignore the interaction between plants and microbial key players. Increasing evidence suggests (i) that the expression of many plant traits (such as nutrient use efficiency or tolerances against biotic and abiotic stresses) is mediated by beneficial microorganisms and (ii) that there is an exploitable genetic base for the regulation of symbiotic relatio ...

Abstract:
... Drought stress on reproductive stages constitute a major problem for common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production because it affects flowering and pod-filling processes which are highly drought-sensitive. In this study, we used a greenhouse experiment to evaluate the response to drought stress in ten highly cultivated Brazilian genotypes in response to moderate intermittent drought during flower ...

Abstract:
... Flowering in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is induced by a period of short days and low temperatures (vernalisation), followed by long-day photoperiod conditions. Genetic linkage mapping and association genetics studies have collectively identified 36 quantitative trait loci for flowering time which were distributed across all seven linkage groups of perennial ryegrass. Close to 40 genes ...

Abstract:
... Association mapping is a method to identify associations between target traits and genetic markers based on linkage disequilibrium (LD) of a quantitative trait locus. Synthetic hexaploid wheat (SHW) is derived from a cross between Triticum durum Desf. and Aegilops tauschii Coss. that enhances genetic diversity and broadens breeding resources. In this study, phenotypic diversity in 110 wheat access ...

Abstract:
... Upland cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L. is the most widely planted cultivated cotton in the United States and the world. The other cultivated tetraploid species G. barbadense L. is planted on considerable less area; however, it produces extra long, strong, and fine fibers which spins into superior yarn. The wild cotton tetraploid species G. tomentosum Nuttall ex Seemann, native to the Hawaiian Archip ...

Abstract:
... Sugar beet hybrid varieties are produced through the crosses between male sterile lines and the multigerm pollinators. The uniformity of pollinators used for hybrid crosses depends on the presence of self-sterility (S ˢ) and self-fertility (S ᶠ) genes. The aim of the study was to analyze correlation between hybrid performance and genetic distance or heterozygosity of the sugar beet pollinators. Tw ...

Abstract:
... The leafminer Liriomyza sativae (Diptera: Agromyzidae) stands out as the main plant health problem in melon in the Northeast region of Brazil, which is the main region for production and export of the fruit. Genetic resistance of plants is an important strategy in management of this pest. The plant BAGMEL 56-R was selected as a new source of resistance to L. sativae through antibiosis; this resist ...

Abstract:
... Multi-trait indices (MTI) weigh traits based on their importance to facilitate selection in plant and animal improvement. In animal breeding, economic values are used to develop MTIs. For vegetables, economic data valuing traits are rarely available. We posit that varieties with traits valued by growers and processors achieve higher market share and longer life span. Our objective was to develop M ...

Abstract:
... Non-heading Chinese cabbage (Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis Makino), an important vegetable in East Asian countries, is rich in vitamin C, dietary fiber, and other health-enhancing factors. As a staple vegetable, its genetic studies have been hindered due to the lack of polymorphic genetic markers. In this research, 2.3 and 2.1 Gb RNA-seq data have been obtained for a heat-sensitive cultiva ...
