Cereal breeding and its future trends.
This paper seeks to show that cereal breeders have been successful when their objectives have been clear. It is suggested that the end of cereal improvement is not in sight and that breeders will continue to make significant advances in many directions. In order to look at future trends it is necessary to examine what has been achieved and to consider the principles on which cereal breeding is ...
متن کاملFunctional genomic approaches in cereal rusts
Cereal rust fungi are pathogens of major importance to agriculture, threatening cereal production worldwide. Targeted breeding for resistance, based on information from fungal surveys and population structure analyses of virulence, has been effective. Nevertheless, breakdown of resistance occurs frequently and continued efforts are needed to understand how these fungi overcome resistance and to...
متن کاملTowards molecular breeding of reproductive traits in cereal crops.
The transition from vegetative to reproductive phase, flowering per se, floral organ development, panicle structure and morphology, meiosis, pollination and fertilization, cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and fertility restoration, and grain development are the main reproductive traits. Unlocking their genetic insights will enable plant breeders to manipulate these traits in cereal germplasm en...
متن کاملTraditional Approaches for Protecting Cereal Crops from Birds in Africa
Despite the recent emphasis in Africa by national and regional plant protection organizations to control pest birds, traditional farmers usually are still left to their own initiative, as they have been for centuries, to protect their crops. These farmers employ many ingenious visual and oratory frightening techniques, barriers, agronomic planting or harvesting modifications, and bird populatio...
متن کاملRecent advances in molecular tool development for drought tolerance breeding in cereal crops: a review
Drought stress is one of the major yield constraints for cereal crops. Traditionally, for developing drought tolerant cultivars, selection either direct or indirect is practiced. Although this approach is effective, yet time consuming and labour intensive. Identification of drought related quantitative trait loci (QTLs) coupled with marker assisted selection has shown some positive results. Tra...
