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 کاملSeed Treatments for Small Grain Cereals
A seed treatment includes any compound or process applied to seed in order to reduce damage by organisms that infest the seed surface, infect tissue inside the seed, live in soil where the seed will be placed, or attack young seedlings. Compounds discussed in this publication include organic chemicals and microbial formulations that are applied to suppress damage by pathogenic fungi, insects, o...
متن کاملGibberellin Deficiency Confers Both Lodging and Drought Tolerance in Small Cereals
Tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter] and finger millet [Eleusine coracana Gaertn] are staple cereal crops in Africa and Asia with several desirable agronomic and nutritional properties. Tef is becoming a life-style crop as it is gluten-free while finger millet has a low glycemic index which makes it an ideal food for diabetic patients. However, both tef and finger millet have extremely low grai...
متن کاملGenomics-assisted breeding for drought tolerance in chickpea
Terminal drought is one of the major constraints in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), causing more than 50% production losses. With the objective of accelerating genetic understanding and crop improvement through genomicsassisted breeding, a draft genome sequence has been assembled for the CDC Frontier variety. In this context, 544.73Mb of sequence data were assembled, capturing of 73.8% of the ge...
