Seed health: fostering the safe distribution of maize and wheat seed - general guidelines
(CIMMYT, 2012)
CIMMYT has a global mandate for the improvement of wheat and maize, and it is also responsible for conserving the germplasm of these crops. CIMMYT’s germplasm improvement programs rely heavily on the free international ...

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 ...
Article
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. ...

Estimation of statistical power and false discovery rate of QTL mapping methods through computer simulation
(Springer Verlag; Science China; Chinese Academy of Sciences; National Natural Science Foundation of China, 2012)
Many QTL mapping methods have been developed in the past two decades. Statistically, the best method should have a high detection power but a low false discovery rate (FDR). Power and FDR cannot be derived theoretically ...

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
Marker-assisted selection of HMW-Glutenin 1Dx5+1Dy10 gene and 1B/1R translocation for improving industry quality in common wheat
(Institute of Crop Sciences, 2012)
Glutenin subunits play an important role in determining processing quality in common wheat. In this study, a total of 125 BC2F4 lines derived from four populations by marker-assisted backcrossing, with Yumai 34, Gaocheng ...
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
Molecular characterization of diverse CIMMYT maize inbred lines from eastern and southern Africa using single nucleotide polymorphic markers
(BioMed Central, 2012)
Background: Knowledge of germplasm diversity and relationships among elite breeding materials is fundamentally important in crop improvement. We genotyped 450 maize inbred lines developed and/or widely used by CIMMYT ...
