Introgression of striga resistance into popular Sudanese sorghum varieties using marker assisted selection
Witchweed (Strigaspp.) is one of the most important cereals production constraints globally and is projected to worsen with anticipated climate change. It is especially a devastating parasitic weed in Sub-Saharan Africa ...
Genome-wide association studies revealed novel stripe rust resistance QTL in barley at seedling and adult-plant stages
Barley stripe rust, Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei, (PSH) occurs worldwide and is one of the major barley diseases of South Asia and North Africa. The aim of this study was to identify and map rust resistance loci at ...
Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci Controlling High Iron and Zinc Content in Self and Open Pollinated Grains of Pearl Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.]
Pearl millet is a multipurpose grain/fodder crop of the semi-arid tropics, feeding many
of the world’s poorest and most undernourished people. Genetic variation among
adapted pearl millet inbreds and hybrids suggests it ...
Genome Wide Association Mapping of Seedling and Adult Plant Resistance to Barley Stripe Rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei) in India
Barley stripe rust is caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp. hordei, (Psh), occurs worldwide, and is a major disease in South Asia. The aim of this work was to identify and estimate effects of loci underlying quantitative ...
Assessment of genetic diversity and yield performance in Jordanian barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) landraces grown under Rainfed conditions
Background: Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is a major cereal crop, which is cultivated under variable environmental conditions and abiotic stresses in marginal areas around the globe. In this study, we evaluated 150 Jordanian ...
Genome-wide association studies of net form of net blotch resistance at seedling and adult plant stages in spring barley collection
Net form of net blotch (NFNB) of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), caused by Pyrenophora teres f. teres (Ptt) Drechsler (anamorph: Drechslera teres [Sacc.] Shoem.), is considered one of the major constraints of successful barley ...
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) of element contents in grain with a special focus on zinc and iron in a world collection of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) were carried out to map Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) associated
with element contents in the grain using 336 spring barley. Of the elements analyzed, Fe content
ranged from 21.9 to ...
