Amplified fragment length polymorphism among Rhynchosporium secalis isolates collected from a single barley field in Syria
AFLP markers were used to measure the amount and distribution of genetic variation among Rhynchosporium secalis isolates on a microgeographical scale in Syria. Forty isolates hierarchically sampled from a single barley ...
Estimation of heritability from varietal trials data
We present the estimation of heritabilities of an observed trait in situations where evaluation of several pure breeding lines is performed in a trial at a single location and in trials from several locations. For the ...
Indirect Selection for Grain Yield of Barley in Harsh Mediterranean Environments
Selection for yield of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in unfavorable Mediterranean environments will be more efficient if plant traits can be identified that are related to yield under stress. The aim of this study was to ...
Classification and salt tolerance analysis of barley varieties
Six varieties of barley (Hordeum vulgare), five of which were provided by ICARDA, were tested in a green house experiment for their salt tolerance. Afterwards the ICARDA variety Melusine, selected from this experiment for ...
Asymmetric allele-specific expression in relation to developmental variation and drought stress in barley hybrids
P>In the present study, we analysed allele-specific expression (ASE) in the selfing species barley to assess the frequency of cis-acting regulatory variation and the effects of genetic background, developmental differences ...
Using genetic diversity for disease resistance in agricultural production
The three main germplasm resource bases used for genetic diversity in disease resistance are commercial varieties, landraces and wild ancestral species. Cultivar mixtures with landraces have traditionally been used by ...
QTLs for barley yield adaptation to Mediterranean environments in the ‘Nure’ × ‘Tremois’ biparental population
Multi-environment trials represent a highly valuable tool for the identification of the genetic bases of crop yield potential and stress adaptation. A Diversity Array Technology®-based barley map has been developed in the ...
QTLs for barley yield adaptation to Mediterranean environments in the ‘Nure’ 3 ‘Tremois’ biparental population
Multi-environment trials represent a highly
valuable tool for the identification of the genetic bases of
crop yield potential and stress adaptation. A Diversity
Array Technology"-based barley map has been
developed in the ...
Decentralized-participatory plant breeding: an example of demand driven research
It is widely recognized that conventional plant breeding has been more beneficial to farmers in high-potential environments or those who can profitably modify their environment to suit new cultivars, than to the poorest ...
Breeding for yield stability in unpredictable environments: single traits, interaction between traits, and architecture of genotypes
Attempts to identify individual traits to use as an indirect measure for grain yield have shown some degree of success in environments where crop yields are affected by no stress or only by predictable stresses. However, ...
