Andrea Tosoroni, Valerio Di Vittori, Laura Nanni, Evan Musari, Simone Papalini, Elena Bitocchi, Elisa Bellucci, Alice Pieri, Sofia Ghitarrini, Karolina Susek and Roberto PapaThe higher adaptation of landraces to local agroclimatic conditions resulting from natural and...
Harnessing historical genebank data to accelerate pea breeding
Lars-Gernot Otto, Lanique Niels, Jochen Christoph Reif, Vilson Mirdita, Markus Oppermann, Ulrike Lohwasser, Matthias Kotter, Stephan Weise, Samira El HanafiThe German Federal Ex Situ Genebank for Agricultural and Horticultural Crops (IPK) harbours over 3000 pea plant...
Quantitative Assessment of Soluble Carbohydrates in Two Panels of Pulses (Phaseolus vulgaris and Pisum sativum) Using Ultrasound-Assisted Extraction (UAE) and HPLC
Roberto Rodríguez Madrera, Ana Campa Negrillo and Juan José Ferreira FernándezPulses (edible dry seeds from legumes) are among the most important crops worldwide. These legumes contain a diverse range of carbohydrates, some of which, such as RFOs (raffinose family...
Underutilised crops in Europe: An interdisciplinary approach towards sustainable practices
Donal Murphy-Bokern, Meriel McClatchie, Véronique Matterne, Núria Rovira Buendia, Mila Andonova, Ulrike Lohwasser, Wendy Waalen, Filippos Bantis, Marija Knez, Jelena Milešević, Amil Orahovac, Paolo Prosperi, Aparajita Banerjee, Ivana Radić, Aldona Mueller-Bieniek,...
Phenotyping of European soybean varieties with different time to maturity for drought tolerance
Benedikt Johannes PillerSoybean is the major crop for high-protein feed and food in Europe, however domestic production is low due to non-adapted varieties for drought events and time to maturity. Especially, drought stress during growing season can cause severe yield...
Recent Advances in Molecular Tools and Pre-Breeding Activities in White Lupin (Lupinus albus)
Andrea Tosoroni, Valerio Di Vittori, Laura Nanni, Evan Musari, Simone Papalini, Elena Bitocchi, Elisa Bellucci, Alice Pieri, Sofia Ghitarrini, Karolina Susek and Roberto PapaThe higher adaptation of landraces to local agroclimatic conditions resulting from natural and...
Unraveling the Function of Stress Kinase in the Progeny of Soybean Plants Grown from Low-Temperature Pretreated Seeds
Mariana Radkova, Miglena Revalska and Anelia Iantcheva The research work was carried out with the progeny of two soybean cultivars, Richy and Izidor, from the years 2019 and 2020. Plants were grown from seeds pretreated with low temperature (2–5 °C) before sowing for...
New perspectives of post-GWAS analyses: From markers to causal genes for more precise crop breeding
Ivana Kaňovská, Jana Biová and Mária Škrabišová Crop breeding advancement is hindered by the imperfection of methods to reveal genes underlying key traits. Genome-wide Association Study (GWAS) is one such method, identifying genomic regions linked to phenotypes....
