To achieve the food and energy security of an increasing World population likely to exceed nine billion by 2050 represents a major challenge for plant breeding. Our ability to measure traits under field conditions has improved little over the last decades and currently constitutes a major bottleneck in crop improvement. This work describes the development of a tractor-pulled multi-sensor phenot...

Segregation distorters are curious, evolutionarily selfish genetic elements, which distort Mendelian segregation in their favor at the expense of others. Those agents include gametocidal factors (Gc), which ensure their preferential transmission by triggering damages in cells lacking them via chromosome break induction. Hence, we hypothesized that the gametocidal system can be adapted for chrom...

Intensification of dryland cropping systems with cover crops (CCs) in the semi-arid central Great Plains could enhance soil health and diversify production when used for forage. This study was conducted from 2015 to 2020 determine forage mass, nutritive value CCs, effects dual-purpose CCs on properties a no-till winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)–grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]–fal...

<p><strong>Background.</strong> The associations of poaceae and fabaceae forage species are important to provide cattle with a balanced diet between proteins carbohydrates; also contribute the sustainable management soils. <strong>Objective</strong>. objective research was determine effect natural biostimulant on triticale components during staggered sowing associa...

Management of plant diseases is a subject concern for researchers as well growers. Different management practices are being developed and used to combat the rising number pathogens, which threaten nursery crop production. Use cover crops sustainable soilborne explored an alternative strategy chemicals. However, potential threat these acting secondary host devastating pathogens has not been desc...

Successful crop stand establishment is critical to realize high yield potential, which dependent on depth of seed placement access soil moisture. The coleoptile determines sowing by its length and ability emerge from depth. This study was conducted assess among three sets Great Plains winter small grain cereals—wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) triticale (X triticosecale...

to evaluate moisture-stress tolerance in reproductive growth stages in five triticale (alamos83, lasko, moreno, prego, and zorro), one bread wheat (roshan) and one durum wheat (osta-gata) cultivars, two field experiments were conducted in 2005-06 cropping season at research farm, isfahan university of technology, lavarak, njafabad, iran. the genotypes were sown in two normal and moisture stress...
