Genetic impact of Rht dwarfing genes on grain micronutrients concentration in wheat
(Elsevier, 2017)
Wheat is a major staple food crop providing about 20% of dietary energy and proteins, and food products made of whole grain wheat are a major source of micronutrients like Zinc (Zn), Iron (Fe), Manganese (Mn), Magnesium ...

Breeding for enhanced zinc and iron concentration in CIMMYT spring wheat germplasm
(Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2011)
Micronutrient malnutrition, resulting from dietary deficiency of important minerals such as zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe), is a widespread food-related health problem. Genetic enhancement of crops with elevated levels of these ...

Breeding adult plant resistance to stripe rust in spring bread wheat germplasm adapted to Sichuan Province of China
(Czech Academy of Agricultural Sciences, 2011)
Sichuan is an important wheat producing province of China where severe stripe rust epidemics occur annually. Developing high-yielding wheat varieties with good and stable stripe rust resistance is a foremost breeding ...

QTL Analysis and nested association mapping for adult plant resistance to Powdery Mildew in two bread wheat populations
(Frontiers, 2017)
CIMMYT wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) lines Francolin#1 and Quaiu#3 displayed effective and stable adult plant resistance (APR) to Chinese Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici isolates in the field. To elucidate their genetic ...

Analisis de virulencia de la roya amarilla (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) del trigo (Triticum aestivum L.) En los valles altos de Mexico
(Colegio de Postgraduados, 2010)
La roya amarilla (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) del trigo (Triticum aestivum L.) causa pérdidas importantes en rendi¬miento en los Valles Altos de México, debido a que el hongo puede evolucionar y vencer la resistencia ...

QTL mapping of grain Zn and Fe concentrations in two hexaploid wheat RIL populations with ample transgressive segregation
(Frontiers, 2017)
More than 50% of undernourished children live in Asia and more than 25% live in Africa. Coupled with an inadequate food supply, mineral deficiencies are widespread in these populations; particularly zinc (Zn) and iron (Fe) ...
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
Genomic Bayesian functional regression models with interactions for predicting wheat grain yield using hyper‑spectral image data
(BioMed Central, 2017)
Modern agriculture uses hyperspectral cameras that provide hundreds of reflectance data at discrete narrow bands in many environments. These bands often cover the whole visible light spectrum and part of the infrared and ...
Article
Strategies for selecting crosses using genomic prediction in two wheat breeding programs
(Crop Science Society of America, 2017)
The single most important decision in plant breeding programs is the selection of appropriate crosses. The ideal cross would provide superior predicted progeny performance and enough diversity to maintain genetic gain. The ...

Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of Race TKTTF of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici that caused a Wheat Stem Rust Epidemic in Southern Ethiopia in 2013–14
(American Phytopathological Society (APS), 2015)
A severe stem rust epidemic occurred in southern Ethiopia during November 2013 to January 2014, with yield losses close to 100% on the most widely grown wheat cultivar, ‘Digalu’. Sixty-four stem rust samples collected from ...
