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 ...

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 ...

Transferencia del gen Lr14a de trigos harineros a trigos cristalinos y expresion de la resistencia a roya de la hoja
(Sociedad Mexicana de Fitogenética, 2010)
El origen del gen de resistencia Lr14a a roya de la hoja causada por Puccinia triticina E. es el trigo tetraploide 'Yaroslav emmer' (Triticum dicoccum L.). En México, todas las razas de trigo harinero (T. aestivum) importantes ...

Estabilidad a traves de ambientes de las propiedades reologicas de trigos harineros en funcion de sus gluteninas de alto molecular
(Sociedad Mexicana de Fitogenética, 2010)
Con el propósito de determinar las combinaciones alélicas de gluteninas de alto peso molecular (G-APM) y estudiar la estabilidad conferida por dichas combinaciones sobre las propiedades reológicas de la masa en trigos ...

Identification and mapping of leaf, stem and stripe rust resistance quantitative trait loci and their interactions in durum wheat
(Springer Verlag, 2012)
Leaf rust (Puccinia triticina Eriks.), stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. tritici Eriks.) and stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici) cause major production losses in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum). ...
Article
The plant ontology as a tool for comparative plant anatomy and genomic analyses
(Oxford University Press; Japanese Society of Plant Physiologists, 2012)
The Plant Ontology (PO; http://www.plantontology.org/) is a publicly-available, collaborative effort to develop and maintain a controlled, structured vocabulary (?ontology?) of terms to describe plant anatomy, morphology ...

Genetic analysis of water-logging tolerance in tropical maize (Zea Mays L.)
(Consiglio per la Ricerca e la sperimentazione in Agricoltura, Unità di Ricerca per la Maiscoltura, 2010)
Approximately 80% of maize (Zea mays L.) in South and Southeast Asia is grown as a rain-fed crop, where temporary excessive soil moisture or water-logging during the summer-rainy season is one of the major production ...
Article
Morpho-physiological traits associated with cold stress tolerance in tropical maize (Zea mays L.)
(Consiglio per la Ricerca e la sperimentazione in Agricoltura, Unità di Ricerca per la Maiscoltura, 2010)
Winter season maize (Zea mays L.) has emerged a new crop in many parts of South and Southeast Asia, where the crop has to face low temperature regimes (<5°C) for few weeks during vegetative growth stage. The objective of ...

Genomic prediction of breeding values when modeling genotype × environment interaction using pedigree and dense molecular markers
(Crop Science Society of America (CSSA), 2012)
Genomic selection (GS) has become an important aid in plant and animal breeding. Multienvironment (multitrait) models allow borrowing of information across environments (traits), which could enhance prediction accuracy. ...

Strategies to subdivide a target population of environments: Results from the CIMMYT-led maize hybrid testing programs in Africa
(Crop Science Society of America (CSSA), 2012)
To develop stable and high-yielding maize (Zea mays L.) hybrids for a diverse target population of environments (TPE), breeders have to decide whether greater gains result from selection across the undivided TPE or within ...
