Soybean is one of the main sources of foreign exchange credits for Brazil in the agricultural sector. There is increasing interest in growing this leguminous crop, especially in the southern region of Minas Gerais, due to its importance as an alternative for crop rotation with maize. In this respect, the study of the adaptability of new cultivars to the region is indispensable so as to obtain h...

The distant hybridization was used in lodging-resistance breeding of Platycodon grandiflorus. The parents were Platycodon grandiflorus (♀) and Campanula medium (♂). 187 seeds of F1 were harvested by using the inter-generic hybridization in 2009 and 2010, 2 repeat, and 88 normal plants were obtained. The characteristics of leaves, stems and branches were the same as female for F1 generation, F2 ...

Maize plant height is closely associated with biomass, lodging resistance and grain yield. Determining the genetic basis of plant height by characterizing and cloning plant height genes will guide the genetic improvement of crops. In this study, a quantitative trait locus (QTL) for plant height, qPH3.1, was identified on chromosome 3 using populations derived from a cross between Zong3 and its ...

hamoon is a new bread wheat cultivar derived from progenies of a cross made between falat and roshan. it is of spring habit and early maturity, 90-100 cm plant height, white spikes and thousand kernel weight of 40-45 gram. it is tolerant to lodging and environmental stresses(drought and salinity) as will as yellow rust. hamoon has hard grains of amber colour with averae protein content of 10.5%...

The capacity of LiDAR and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) to provide plant height estimates as a high-throughput plant phenotyping trait was explored. An experiment over wheat genotypes conducted under well watered and water stress modalities was conducted. Frequent LiDAR measurements were performed along the growth cycle using a phénomobile unmanned ground vehicle. UAV equipped with a high res...

Yield losses caused by lodging in barley can be partially controlled by reducing plant height. In order to understand dwarfing mechanisms and efficiently use new dwarf germplasms for a breeding program, it is important to identify QTL of plant height components. QTL analysis was performed for seven plant height component traits using a DH population of 122 lines derived from the cross of Huaai ...

Abstract Trinexapac‐ethyl (TE) is a plant growth regulator commonly used in cereal production systems. It retards by inhibiting gibberellin (GA) biosynthesis, thereby reducing the risk of stem lodging. Lodging at latter stages crop development can compromise grain yield and quality. Thus, application TE may protect quality winter cereals. A field study was conducted from 2014 to 2017 across Can...
