Resistance of tomato plant genotypes with high foliar allelochemical contents to the leafminer Liriomyza trifolii = Resistência de genótipos de tomateiro com altos teores de aleloquímicos nas folhas à mosca-minadora Liriomyza trifolii
(Zeppelini Editorial, 2017)
The objective of this study was to assess the resistance of tomato genotypes with high foliar levels of allelochemicals to the leafminer Liriomyza trifolii. Eight tomato genotypes with contrasting levels of three different ...

Molecular mapping and validation of SrND643: a new wheat gene for resistance to the stem rust pathogen Ug99 race group
(American Phytopathological Society (APS), 2015)
This study reports the identification of a new gene conferring resistance to the Ug99 lineage of races of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Because the virulent races of stem rust pathogen ...

Using molecular marker order to compare genetic structure in plant populations undergoing selection
(UCLA Department of Statistics, 2013)
Many ecological studies compare the genetic structure of populations undergoing natu- ral or artificial selection across different environments. High-throughput molecular markers are now commonly used for these comparisons ...

Crops that feed the world 6. Past successes and future challenges to the role played by maize in global food security
(Springer Verlag, 2011)
Maize is one of the most important food crops in the world and, together with rice and wheat, provides at least 30% of the food calories to more than 4.5 billion people in 94 developing countries. In parts of Africa and ...
Article
Genome-wide comparative diversity uncovers multiple targets of selection for improvement in hexaploid wheat landraces and cultivars
(National Academy of Sciences, 2013)
Domesticated crops experience strong human-mediated selection aimed at developing high-yielding varieties adapted to local conditions. To detect regions of the wheat genome subject to selection during improvement, we ...
Article
Evaluation and interpretation of interactions
(American Society of Agronomy, 2013)
Understanding the factors that define a given interaction is important in agricultural, agronomic, and plant breeding research, where agronomic treatments or genotypes are evaluated under several environmental conditions ...
Article
Strategic crossing of biomass and harvest index—source and sink—achieves genetic gains in wheat
(Springer, 2017)
To accelerate genetic gains in breeding, physiological trait (PT) characterization of candidate parents can help make more strategic crosses, increasing the probability of accumulating favorable alleles compared to crossing ...
Article
Using the UK reference population Avalon X Cadenza as a platform to compare breeding strategies in elite Western European bread wheat
(Springer Verlag, 2015)
Wheat breeders select for qualitative and quantitative traits, the latter often detected as quantitative trait loci (QTL). It is, however, a long procedure from QTL discovery to the successful introduction of favourable ...

Sashaydiall: A SAS program for hayman’s diallel analysis
(Crop Science Society of America (CSSA), 2018)
Different methods of diallel crossing are commonly used in plant breeding. The diallel cross analysis method proposed by Hayman is particularly useful because it provides information, among others, on additive and dominance ...
Article
How can we improve crop genotypes to increase stress resilience and productivity in a future climate? A new crop screening method based on productivity and resistance to abiotic stress
(Oxford University Press; Society for Experimental Biology, 2016)
The need to accelerate the selection of crop genotypes that are both resistant to and productive under abiotic stress is enhanced by global warming and the increase in demand for food by a growing world population. In this ...
