(CIMMYT, 2012)
The abstracts herein are of presentations by crop experts for the ”2nd International Workshop of the Wheat Yield Consortium”. Sponsored by SAGARPA’s international strategic component for increasing wheat performance, ...
Handbook
Doubled haploid technology in maize breeding: theory and practice
(CIMMYT, 2012)
This manual is primarily intended for maize breeders in national agricultural research systems and small and medium enterprise seed companies in developing countries who would like to better understand and utilizes the ...
Article
Metabolic and phenotypic responses of greenhouse-grown maize hybrids to experimentally controlled drought stress
(Elsevier, 2012)
Adaptation to abiotic stresses like drought is an important acquirement of agriculturally relevant crops like maize. Development of enhanced drought tolerance in crops grown in climatic zones where drought is a very dominant ...
Handbook
Wheat diseases and pests: a guide for field identification
(CIMMYT, 2012)
This booklet is designed as a quick guide for identifying wheat and triticale diseases in the field. It is intended primarily for agricultural researchers, technicians, and farmers in developing nations, but will also be ...
Article
Composition and functional analysis of low-molecular-weight glutenin alleles with Aroona near-isogenic lines of bread wheat
(BioMed Central, 2012)
Low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS) strongly influence the bread-making quality of bread wheat. These proteins are encoded by a multi-gene family located at the Glu-A3, Glu-B3 and Glu-D3 loci on the short arms ...

Mapping of quantitative trait loci for adult plant resistance to stripe rust in German wheat cultivar Ibis
(Elsevier, 2012)
The German wheat cultivar Ibis has excellent adult plant resistance (APR) to stripe rust in Gansu, a hotspot for stripe rust in China. To elucidate the genetic basis of APR to stripe rust in Ibis, 237 F3 lines derived from ...

QTL mapping for adult-plant resistance to stripe rust in a common wheat RIL population derived from Chuanmai 32/Chuanyu 12
(Elsevier, 2012)
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, is a devastating wheat disease worldwide. The Chinese wheat cultivar Chuanmai 32 has shown stable resistance to stripe rust for 10 yr in Sichuan Province, a hotspot ...
Article
Allelic variation at the TaZds-A1 locus on wheat chromosome 2A and development of a functional marker in common wheat
(Elsevier, 2012)
Ζ (zeta)-carotene desaturase (ZDS) is a key enzyme for carotenoid biosynthesis, demonstrating high association with the yellow pigment (YP) content in wheat grain. Cloning ZDS gene and developing functional markers are ...
Article
A general Bayesian estimation method of linear-bilinear models applied to plant breeding trials with genotype × environment interaction
(Springer Verlag; American Statistical Association; International Biometrics Society, 2012)
Statistical analyses of two-way tables with interaction arise in many different fields of research. This study proposes the von Mises-Fisher distribution as a prior on the set of orthogonal matrices in a linear-bilinear ...
Article
Breeding and genetic estimation of spring bread wheat populations of the Siberian shuttle breeding nursery of CIMMYT
(Institute of Cytology and Genetics of Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2012)
Shuttle breeding contributes much to the breeding to common wheatvarieties resistantto adverse environmental factors by involving new sources of valuable biological and economical features from the world?s gene pool. ...
