The organic farmers use wider range of crop varieties than the conventional farming. Bread wheat is the most favorite and the most common food crop. The organic bread wheat is usually of worse technological quality. Therefore, it is supposed to be an attractive alternative to the hulled wheat species (einkorn, emmer wheat and spelt). Twenty-five hulled bread wheat varieties and control bread wh...

in order to assess the genetic variability for seed germination parameters under salt stress in sunflower and corresponding qtl locations, an experiment was conducted using a population of 80 recombinant inbred lines obtained from a cross between pac2 and rha266. the experiment was arranged under a randomized complete block design with three replications in control and saline conditions. severa...

RTIFICIAL mixtures of mitochondria from various unrelated inbred lines A of maize exhibit oxidative and phosphorylative activities which correspond to the activities of mitochondria of hybrids of these lines ( SARKISSIAN and SRI~ASTAVA 1967; MCDANIEL and SARKISSIAN 1968). This phenomenon has been called mitochondrial complementation (MCDANIEL and SARKISSIAN 1966). Complementation reflects dissi...

The bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotype "Chinese Spring" ("CS") is the reference base in wheat genetics and genomics. Pericentric rearrangements in this genotype were systematically assessed by analyzing homoeoloci for a set of nonredundant genes from Brachypodium distachyon, Triticum urartu, and Aegilops tauschii in the CS chromosome shotgun sequence obtained from individual chromosome...

sunn pest (eurygaster integriceps put.) is one of the major pests of wheat in iran. identification of resistantcultivars is an effective integrated pest management (ipm) strategy. to identify the genetic response of wheat and triticale to sunn pest, and determine the relationship between resistance and morpho physiological traits, eight bread wheat breeding lines/cultivars, four durum wheat lin...

Powdery mildews are major diseases for a range of crops. The loss function specific Mildew Locus O (MLO) genes has long been associated with pre-haustorial plant resistance to powdery mildew and proven be durable in several species. Erysiphe pisi is the causal agent pea (Pisum sativum L.) closely related Lathyrus sativus L. cicera PsMLO1 extensively studied pea. However, no MLO gene family memb...

Fusarium crown rot (FCR) is one of the most damaging cereal diseases in semi-arid regions worldwide. The genetics of FCR resistance in the bread wheat (Triticum eastivum L.) variety EGA Wylie, the most resistant commercial variety available, was studied by QTL mapping. Three populations of recombinant inbred lines were developed with this elite variety as the resistant parent. Four QTL conferri...

Grain length is an important quantitative trait in rice (Oryza sativa L.) that influences both grain yield and exterior quality. Although many quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for grain length have been identified, it is still unclear how different alleles from different QTLs regulate grain length coordinately. To explore the mechanisms of QTL combination in the determination of grain length, fiv...
