Epigenetics: possible applications in climate-smart crop breeding
(Oxford Univ Press, Oxford, 2020)
To better adapt transiently or lastingly to stimuli from the surrounding environment, the chromatin states in plant cells vary to allow the cells to fine-tune their transcriptional profiles. Modifications of chromatin ...
High-throughput screening of soybean di-nitrogen fixation and seed nitrogen content using spectral sensing
(Elsevier, 2022)
Symbiotic di-nitrogen fixation of grain legumes has a substantial impact on crop performance, harvest product quality, and nitrogen (N) balance of crop rotations, particularly under organic management regimes. In soybean ...
Exploitation of epigenetic variation of crop wild relatives for crop improvement and agrobiodiversity preservation
(Springer, 2022)
Crop wild relatives (CWRs) are recognized as the best potential source of traits for crop improvement. However, successful crop improvement using CWR relies on identifying variation in genes controlling desired traits in ...
Plant breeding for increased sustainability: challenges, opportunities and progress
(Springer, 2022)
Humanity is facing enormous challenges in the years to come: sustainability of agriculture and sustainability of our supply with food, feed and renewable materials are neither granted nor free. Especially, but not only, ...
Effect of stem structural characteristics and cell wall components related to stem lodging resistance in a newly identified mutant of hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022)
In wheat, lodging is affected by anatomical and chemical characteristics of the stem cell wall. Plant characteristics determining the stem strength were measured in lodging tolerant mutant (PMW-2016-1) developed through ...
Phylogenomic analysis of 20S proteasome gene family reveals stress-responsive patterns in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.)
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022)
The core particle represents the catalytic portions of the 26S proteasomal complex. The genes encoding a- and b-subunits play a crucial role in protecting plants against various environmental stresses by controlling the ...
Changes in stay-green and nitrogen use efficiency traits in historical set of winter barley cultivars
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
The objective of this study was to compare grain yield, nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and stay-green traits in winter barley under low and high nitrogen (N) fertilization treatments. Field trials were conducted during two ...
Response of kernel growth of barley genotypes with different row type to climatic factors before and after inflection point of grain filling
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2020)
Changes in patterns of rainfall and rising temperatures during grain development have already negatively affected yield gains of temperate cereals. This article reports on barley field trials with 15 two- and 10 six-row ...
Digital Image Analysis Using FloCIA Software for Ornamental Sunflower Ray Floret Color Evaluation
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2020)
As an esthetic trait, ray floret color has a high importance in the development of new sunflower genotypes and their market value. Standard methodology for the evaluation of sunflower ray florets is based on International ...
In vitro antioxidant, antihyperglycemic, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activity of Satureja kitaibelii Wierzb. ex Heuff. subcritical water extract
(Elsevier, 2021)
As the main goal of this study was the verification of Satureja kitaibelii Wierzb. ex Heuff. in form of the crude extract obtained by subcritical water extraction (SWE) technique in terms of polyphenolic composition, in ...
