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 ...
Sunflower Hybrid Breeding: From Markers to Genomic Selection
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2018)
In sunflower, molecular markers for simple traits as, e.g., fertility restoration, high oleic acid content, herbicide tolerance or resistances to Plasmopara halstedii, Puccinia helianthi, or Orobanche cumana have been ...
Effect of Cold Stress on Photosynthetic Traits, Carbohydrates, Morphology, and Anatomy in Nine Cultivars of Stevia rebaudiana
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2018)
Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni is a sweet medicinal herb that is cultivated worldwide. This study aimed to identify the genotypic responses and function of nine cultivars of S. rebaudiana (accession numbers 1-9 from the EUSTAS ...
White Mustard (Sinapis alba L.) Oil in Biodiesel Production: A Review
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2020)
White mustard (Sinapis alba L.) seed oil is used for cooking, food preservation, body and hair revitalization, biodiesel production, and as a diesel fuel additive and alternative biofuel. This review focuses on biodiesel ...
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 ...
Future area expansion outweighs increasing drought risk for soybean in Europe
(John Wiley & Sons, 2022)
The European Union is highly dependent on soybean imports from overseas to meet its protein demands. Individual Member States have been quick to declare self- sufficiency targets for plant- based proteins, but ...
Allelic Variation and Distribution of the Major Maturity Genes in Different Soybean Collections
(Frontiers Media Sa, Lausanne, 2018)
Soybean time of flowering and maturity are genetically controlled by E genes. Different allelic combinations of these genes determine soybean adaptation to a specific latitude. The paper describes the first attempt to ...
