The narrow genetic variation present in common wheat (Triticum aestivum) varieties has greatly restricted the improvement of crop yield in modern breeding systems. Alien addition lines have proven to be an effective means to broaden the genetic diversity of common wheat. Wheat-rye addition lines, which are the direct bridge materials for wheat improvement, have been wildly used to produce new w...

BACKGROUND Chromosomal rearrangements induced by wheat-rye hybridization is a very well investigated research topic. However, the structural alterations of wheat chromosomes in wheat-rye hybrids are seldom reported. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Octoploid triticale lines were derived from common wheat Triticum. aestivum L. 'Mianyang11'×rye Secale cereale L. 'Kustro'. Some progeny were obtain...

A sustainable increase in livestock productivity cannot be achieved without the use of animal feed. Due to growing awareness long-term benefits sustainability, there is an increasing interest replacing traditional feed resources with most feedstuffs pig production. Rye production relatively compared wheat. This farm study investigated whether newborn body weight as well antibody transfer piglet...

Abstract Given the potential environmental and economic sustainability consequences of cover crop adoption, N fertilizer application, residue management, this study focuses on yield financial effects these processing tomato production in Ontario, Canada. The employs modeling using field data from a long-term experiment (oat, cereal rye, radish, radish-rye mixture) 2010 to 2020. Averaged over si...
