Transgenic rice evaluated for risks to marketability
(University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources, 2011)
The California Rice Certification Act mandates specific planting and handling protocols for rice varieties, including transgenic rice, that may pose economic risks to California rice growers. Based on a literature review ...
Article
Genetic association mapping identifies single nucleotide polymorphisms in genes that affect abscisic acid levels in maize floral tissues during drought
(Oxford University Press; Society for Experimental Biology, 2011)
In maize, water stress at flowering causes loss of kernel set and productivity. While changes in the levels of sugars and abscisic acid (ABA) are thought to play a role in this stress response, the mechanistic basis and ...

Revisiting the hetero-fertilization phenomenon in maize
(Public Library of Science, 2011)
Development of a seed DNA-based genotyping system for marker-assisted selection (MAS) has provided a novel opportunity for understanding aberrant reproductive phenomena such as hetero-fertilization (HF) by observing the ...

An 11-bp insertion in Zea mays fatb reduces the palmitic acid content of fatty acids in Maize grain
(Public Library of Science, 2011)
The ratio of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids in maize kernels strongly impacts human and livestock health, but is a complex trait that is difficult to select based on phenotype. Map-based cloning of quantitative trait ...

Joint QTL linkage mapping for multiple-cross mating design sharing one common parent
(Public Library of Science, 2011)
Nested association mapping (NAM) is a novel genetic mating design that combines the advantages of linkage analysis and association mapping. This design provides opportunities to study the inheritance of complex traits, but ...

Comparative SNP and haplotype analysis reveals a higher genetic diversity and rapider LD decay in tropical than temperate germplasm in maize
(Public Library of Science, 2011)
Understanding of genetic diversity and linkage disequilibrium (LD) decay in diverse maize germplasm is fundamentally important for maize improvement. A total of 287 tropical and 160 temperate inbred lines were genotyped ...

Managing genotype x environment interaction in plant breeding programs: A selection theory approach
(Indian Society of Agricultural Statistics, 2011)
Two forms of genotype - environment interaction (GEI) are of concern to plant breeders. One consists of fixed GEI associated with predictable environmental, geographical, or management factors that can be used to delineate ...

Bipolaris sorokiniana of barley: infection behaviour in different members of Poaceae
(Springer, 2011)
Host range and infection behaviour of Bipolaris sorokiniana of barley was studied in wheat, barley, rice, phalaris, maize, pearlmillet and sugarcane. B. sorokiniana of barley varied in percent germination, germination ...
Article
Evaluation of CIMMYT germplasm for resistance to leaf spotting diseases of wheat
(Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2011)
The leaf spotting disease complex is a major biotic constrain in enhancing grain production in the major wheat growing regions. Two leaf spotting diseases, tan spot, caused by an ascomycete fungus Pyrenophora tritici-repentis, ...
Article
Norman Borlaug’s legacy and the urgent need for continuing innovative wheat technology
(Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2011)
