Enhancing the yield potential and stability of small‐grain cereals, such as wheat (Triticum
sp.), rice (Oryza sativa), and barley (Hordeum vulgare), is a priority for global food security …

Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia hordei, is a devastating fungal disease affecting barley
(Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare) production globally. Despite the effectiveness of genetic …

Grain number, size and weight primarily determine the yield of barley. Although the genes
regulating grain number are well studied in barley, the genetic loci and the causal gene for …

Landraces are local populations of crop plants adapted to a particular environment. Extant
landraces are surviving genetic archives, keeping signatures of the selection processes …

The process of allocating resources to different plant organs in the early stage of
development can affect their adaptation to drought conditions, by influencing water uptake …

Abstract The HD-ZIP class I transcription factor Homeobox 1 (HvHOX1), also known as
Vulgare Row-type Spike 1 (VRS1) or Six-rowed Spike 1, regulates lateral spikelet fertility in …

Gaining knowledge on fundamental interactions of various yield components is crucial to
improve yield potential in small grain cereals. It is well known in barley that increasing grain …

Зерновые культуры традиционно являются важнейшим составляющим звеном
устойчивого сельского хозяйства. Решение продовольственных проблем …

Illuminating the mechanisms of inflorescence architecture of grain crops that feed our world
may strengthen the goal towards sustainable agriculture. Lateral spikelet development of …

Gene discovery in plants will probably soon be possible with off-the-shelf technology and
procedures. Molecular marker prices are still not for everyone, but they keep decreasing. For …
