Genome-wide association mapping of frost tolerance in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Background: Frost tolerance is a key trait with economic and agronomic importance in barley because it is a major
component of winter hardiness, and therefore limits the geographical distribution of the crop and 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 ...
Do faba bean (Vicia faba L.) accessions from environments with contrasting seasonal moisture availabilities differ in stomatal characteristics and related traits?
Drought is a major constraint to faba bean (Vicia faba L.) production, and there are many mechanisms by which leaves can regulate water loss. Our primary objective was to test if the origin of the faba bean accessions, ...
Genetic improvement of bread wheat yield and associated traits in Spain during the 20th century
A collection of 26 wheat genotypes widely grown in Spain during the 20th century was evaluated in eight
contrasting environments in order to quantify breeding achievements in yield and associated traits. From 1930 to
2000, ...
Breeding Methodology Meets Sustainable Agriculture
This review is about the contribution of plant breeding to sustainable agriculture. This contribution is based upon three main pillars: (i) The enrichment of the source material with landraces and old cultivars, accompanied ...
New mathematical model for computing head loss across sand media filter for microirrigation systems
Dimensional analysis was used to develop a
new mathematical model that can describe head loss across
sand filters for microirrigation using parameters that are
easy to estimate. The developed model was compared with
others ...
