Assessment of somaclonal variation and stability in in vitro regenerated grass pea plants using SDS-PAGE
Tissue culture may be one of the possible sources of variation for crop improvement. To assess
variation and stability in regenerated plants, shoots were regenerated from the callus derived from
axillary explants of 11 ...
Towards Appraising the Impact of Legume Research
This Impact Brief (No 44) is based on the Legumes Synthesis Report that documents the most important cases of farmers adopting new varieties, and the economic, social and environmental impacts of legume technologies developed ...
Development of EST-SSR markers and construction of a linkage map in faba bean (Vicia faba)
To develop a high density linkage map in faba bean, a total of 1,363 FBES (Faba bean expressed sequence tag
[EST]derived simple sequence repeat [SSR]) markers were designed based on 5,090 non-redundant ESTs
developed in ...
Genetic diversity of SSR and ISSR markers in wild populations of Brachypodium distachyon and its close relatives B. stacei and B. hybridum (Poaceae)
The genetic diversity of seven wild populations of the grass Brachypodium distachyon
(2n = 10), 4 of B. stacei (2n = 20) and 13 of B. hybridum (2n = 30) from the
Mediterranean and southern areas of the Iberian Peninsula ...
Cloning, Expression, Sequence Analysis and Homology Modeling of the Prolyl Endoprotease from Eurygaster integriceps Puton
Eurygaster integriceps Puton, commonly known as sunn pest, is a major pest of wheat in Northern Africa,
the Middle East and Eastern Europe. This insect injects a prolyl endoprotease into the wheat, destroying
the gluten. ...
Efficient Production of Tetraploid Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) by Colchicine Treatment of Diploid Barley
An experiment was conducted to induce tetraploidy in three diploid barley varieties (Martin, Rihane and
Manel) through different colchicines treatments. Colchicine was added for three different concentrations
at three ...
Prebiotic Oligosaccharides, Resistant Starch and Sugar Alcohols in Lentils: Implications for Obesity
Imbalanced energy intake, coupled with low concentrations of
bioactive compounds in foods, has fueled the rising epidemic of obesity
and related non-communicable diseases. Currently, over 35% of
American adults are ...
Comparative quality analysis of gluten strength and the relationship with high molecular weight glutenin subunits of 6 Tunisian durum wheat genotypes
Six Tunisian durum wheat genotypes (4 landraces and 2 improved) were evaluated for
protein content, gluten strength, rheological characteristics, and HMW-GS patterns
using a LabChip system. Variance analysis identified ...
Global Wild Annual Lens Collection: A Potential Resource for Lentil Genetic Base Broadening and Yield Enhancement
Crop wild relatives (CWRs) are invaluable gene sources for various traits of interest, yet these potential resources are
themselves increasingly threatened by the impact of climate change as well as other anthropogenic and ...
Bayesian determination of the number of replications in crop trials
The number of replications required in a particular experiment depends on the magnitude of difference intended for
detection and the inherent error variability in the response. This paper describes Bayesian approach ...
