Plant genomics projects involving model species and many agriculturally important crops
are resulting in a rapidly increasing database of genomic and expressed DNA sequences …

Genetic variation present in 64 durum wheat accessions was investigated by using three
sources of microsatellite (SSR) markers: EST-derived SSRs (EST-SSRs) and two sources of …

This book is about the contribution to evolutionary theory and agricultural technology of one
of humankind's most dramatic imitations of the evolu tionary process, namely crop …

Understanding the genetic basis of tolerance to high temperature is important for improving
the productivity of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in regions where the stress occurs. The …

Great advances have been made in recent years in marker detection systems and in the
techniques used to identify markers linked to useful traits. While RFLP markers have been …

An integrated approach has been developed for targeted retrieval of microsatellite markers
from selected regions of the field bean (Vicia faba L.) genome. The procedure is based on a …

Pasta colour is one of the main factors influencing pasta quality. It is the product of a
desirable yellow component, an undesirable brown component and, under some drying …

Twenty-four Triticum aestivum× T. timopheevii hybrid lines developed on the basis of five
varieties of common wheat and resistant to leaf rust were analyzed by the use of …

The level of genetic diversity in 128 European winter triticale genotypes was investigated
using two different molecular marker systems (SSRs and AFLPs) and pedigree information …
