Regional subdivision in wild barley allozyme variation: adaptive or neutral?
We examined the adaptive importance of allozyme variation in wild barley (Hordeum spontaneum). The test involved a nested sampling design with four population groups, each representing a different environment, and a comparison of observed allozyme variation with that expected under the assumption that allozymes are not neutral. Measurements of plant fitness in indigenous and alien environments ...
متن کاملRubisco catalytic properties of wild and domesticated relatives provide scope for improving wheat photosynthesis.
Rubisco is a major target for improving crop photosynthesis and yield, yet natural diversity in catalytic properties of this enzyme is poorly understood. Rubisco from 25 genotypes of the Triticeae tribe, including wild relatives of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum), were surveyed to identify superior enzymes for improving photosynthesis in this crop. In vitro Rubisco carboxylation velocity (V c),...
متن کاملDomesticated, Genetically Engineered, and Wild Plant Relatives Exhibit Unintended Phenotypic Differences: A Comparative Meta-Analysis Profiling Rice, Canola, Maize, Sunflower, and Pumpkin
Agronomic management of plants is a powerful evolutionary force acting on their populations. The management of cultivated plants is carried out by the traditional process of human selection or plant breeding and, more recently, by the technologies used in genetic engineering (GE). Even though crop modification through GE is aimed at specific traits, it is possible that other non-target traits c...
متن کاملGenetic Diversity in Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and Its Wild Relatives
Tomato, ranking 1st in the world for vegetables, accounts for 14% of world vegetable production (over 100 million metric tons/year $ 1.6 billion market; (Food and Agriculture Organisation [FAO] 2010). Tomato is a rich source of micronutrients for human diet. It is also an acknowledged model species for research on fruit development and metabolite accumulation. The major goals of tomato breeders...
متن کاملChloroplast DNA variation confirms a single origin of domesticated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.).
Although sunflower was long thought to be the product of a single domestication in what is now the east-central United States, recent archaeological and genetic evidence have suggested the possibility of an independent origin of domestication, perhaps in Mexico. We therefore used hypervariable chloroplast simple-sequence repeat markers to search for evidence of a possible Mexican origin of dome...
