Genome-wide association analysis uncovers stable QTLs for yield and quality traits of spring bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) across contrasting environments
Heat and drought are the foremost abiotic stress factors that significantly diminish both grain yield and quality parameters of bread wheat. Genetic improvement of varieties withstanding such stresses and able to give sufficient grain yield with...
Metabolite database for root, tuber, and banana crops to facilitate modern breeding in understudied crops
Roots, tubers, and bananas (RTB) are vital staples for food security in the world’s poorest nations. A majorconstraint to current RTB breeding programmes is limited knowledge on the available diversity due to lackof efficient germplasm...
Eye-balling and heart girth models for live weight estimation of highly admixed Sudani shorthorn zebu cattle for precise production and veterinary services
Genetic Diversity and Population Structure Analysis of Triticum aestivum L. Landrace Panel from Afghanistan
Landraces are a potential source of genetic diversity and provide useful genetic resources to cope with the current and future challenges in crop breeding. Afghanistan is located close to the centre of origin of hexaploid wheat. Therefore...
Community diversity, functional traits and adaptation of Stipa tenacissima L. under different grazing regimes in a North African arid montane rangeland
The mountain rangeland chain of Matmata (southern Tunisia) is characterised by an arid Mediterranean climate with severe droughts and high temperatures, combined with substantial human disturbance. In order to withstand these harsh conditions...
