Plant domestication and its contributions to in situ conservation of genetic resources in Benin
All over the world, plant domestication is continually being carried out by local communities to support their needs for food, fibre, medicine, building materials, etc. Using participatory rapid appraisal approach, 150 ...
Tracking of powdery mildew and leaf rust resistance genes in Triticum boeoticum and T. urartu, wild relatives of common wheat
Wild Triticum and Aegilops species are increasingly used in wheat breeding programmes around the world as donors of genes conferring resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses, as well as of genes that contribute to the ...
Predictive Association between Biotic Stress Traits and Eco-Geographic Data for Wheat and Barley Landraces
Collections of crop genetic resources are a valuable source of new genetic variation for economically important traits, including resistance to crop diseases. New sources of useful crop traits are often identified through ...
Focused Identification Of Germplasm Strategy (Figs) Detects Wheat Stem Rust Resistance Linked To Environmental Variables
Recent studies have shown that novel genetic variation for resistance to pests and diseases can be detected in plant genetic resources originating from locations with an environmental profile similar to the collection sites ...
