Characterization of quantitative trait loci controlling genetic variation for preharvest sprouting in synthetic backcross-derived wheat lines
Aegilops lauschii, the wild relative of wheat, has stronger seed dormancy, a major component of preharvest sprouting resistance (PHSR), than bread wheat. A diploid Ae. lanschii accession (AUS18836) and a tetraploid (Triticum ...
Molecular genetic diversity and linked resistance to ascochyta blight in Australian chickpea breeding materials and their wild relatives
Simple sequence-repeat (SSR) and sequence characterised amplified regions (SCARs) have been used to characterise the genetic diversity of chickpea germplasm. A set of 48 genotypes comprising cultigen, landraces, and wild ...
Virus resistance of Australian pea (Pisum sativum) varieties
Australian pea varieties were evaluated for virus resistance using spreader plots sown with Pea
seed-borne mosaic virus (PSbMV)-infected seed and aphid inoculations with Bean leafroll virus
(BLRV). Natural infections by ...
Everfarm ® − Climate adapted perennial-based farming systems for dryland agriculture in Southern Australia
Australian dryland agriculture will be affected by climate change in a number of ways. First,
higher temperatures and changes to rainfall are likely to create greater variability of crop
yields and livestock productivity. ...
A Global Survey Of Effects Of Genotype And Environment On Selenium Concentration In Lentils (Lens Culinaris L.): Implications For Nutritional Fortification Strategies
Lentils (Lens culinaris L) are an important protein and carbohydrate food, rich in essential dietary components and trace elements. Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for human health. For adults, 55 mu g of daily ...
Genetic and QTL analyses of seed dormancy and preharvest sprouting resistance in the wheat germplasm CN10955
The inheritance and genetic linkage analysis for seed dormancy and preharvest sprouting (PHS) resistance were carried out in an F-8 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from the cross between CN19055 (white-grained, ...
