Breeding for Drought Tolerance in Cereals: an Overview
Drought is among the most serious abiotic stresses in many parts of the world where cereal crops are essential human food source. Breeding cereals for such stress tolerance is strongly challenging the breeders’ efforts where difficulties are compounded by the complexity of crop yield on the genetic and physiological bases. For cereal plants, drought tends to develop slowly under field condition...
متن کاملBreeding for high grain Fe and Zn levels in cereals
Micronutrients are known to play an important role in the metabolism and physiological activities of the human body. Unfortunately, over three billion people in the world are malnourished. The development of crops with enhanced mineral concentration is one of the most sustainable and cost effective approaches for alleviating micronutrient malnutrition. This review focuses on the progress made i...
متن کاملEvolutionary Plant Breeding in Cereals—Into a New Era
In evolutionary plant breeding, crop populations with a high level of genetic diversity are subjected to the forces of natural selection. In a cycle of sowing and re-sowing seed from the plant population year after year, those plants favored under prevailing growing conditions are expected to contribute more seed to the next generation than plants with lower fitness. Thus, evolving crop populat...
متن کاملRecent Advances in Breeding of Cereals for Resistance to Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus – a Review
the review focuses on recent progress in the breeding of small grain cereals (barley, wheat, oats) for resistance to the barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDv). first, the symptomatology of barley yellow dwarf (BYD) disease is briefly described and the genome of BYDv, its serotypes and mechanisms of its replication and translation in host plants are characterized. great attention is paid to the descr...
متن کاملCereals as protein sources.
For at least 5000 years cereals have predominated as the arable crop grown to provide food for man and animals in the temperate climatic zones. They have been regarded as sources of energy and foods such as breads, spaghetti, chapattis, etc., require the addition of other protein sources to provide a satisfactory balanced diet. But cereals do contain significant amounts of protein, especially i...
