Genetic control of inflorescence architecture in legumes
The architecture of the inflorescence, the shoot system that bears the flowers, is a main component of the huge diversity of forms found in flowering plants. Inflorescence architecture has also a strong impact on the production of fruits and seeds, and on crop management, two highly relevant agronomical traits. Elucidating the genetic networks that control inflorescence development, and how the...
متن کاملGenetic control of inflorescence architecture during rice domestication
Inflorescence architecture is a key agronomical factor determining grain yield, and thus has been a major target of cereal crop domestication. Transition from a spread panicle typical of ancestral wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) to the compact panicle of present cultivars (O. sativa L.) was a crucial event in rice domestication. Here we show that the spread panicle architecture of wild rice ...
متن کاملGenetic control of inflorescence in common bean.
The number of pods per common bean plant is a primary component of grain yield, which depends on the number of flowers produced and on the flower set. Thus, a larger number of flowers per plant would increase yield. Lines with inflorescences that had a large number of flowers compared to common bean plants now under cultivation were identified. We analyzed the genetic control of this trait and ...
متن کاملGenetic control of flowering time in legumes
The timing of flowering, and in particular the degree to which it is responsive to the environment, is a key factor in the adaptation of a given species to various eco-geographic locations and agricultural practices. Flowering time variation has been documented in many crop legumes, and selection for specific variants has permitted significant expansion and improvement in cultivation, from preh...
متن کاملGenomic and genetic control of phosphate stress in legumes.
Phosphorus (P), an essential element for growth and development, is taken up by plants as phosphate (Pi), but Pi is unevenly distributed and relatively immobile in soils. As a result, more than 30% of the world’s arable land requires the application of P fertilizers for cropping (Vance et al., 2003). Unfortunately, P fertilizers are manufactured from nonrenewable resources that are increasingly...
