Identifying traits for genotypic adaptation using crop models.
Genotypic adaptation involves the incorporation of novel traits in crop varieties so as to enhance food productivity and stability and is expected to be one of the most important adaptation strategies to future climate change. Simulation modelling can provide the basis for evaluating the biophysical potential of crop traits for genotypic adaptation. This review focuses on the use of models for ...
متن کاملCrop plants as models for understanding plant adaptation and diversification
Since the time of Darwin, biologists have understood the promise of crop plants and their wild relatives for providing insight into the mechanisms of phenotypic evolution. The intense selection imposed by our ancestors during plant domestication and subsequent crop improvement has generated remarkable transformations of plant phenotypes. Unlike evolution in natural settings, descendent and ante...
متن کاملEnsemble yield simulations: crop and climate uncertainties, sensitivity to temperature and genotypic adaptation to climate change
Estimates of the response of crops to climate change rarely quantify the uncertainty inherent in the simulation of both climate and crops. We present a crop simulation ensemble for a location in India, perturbing the response of both crop and climate under both baseline (12 720 simulations) and doubled-CO2 (171 720 simulations) climates. Some simulations used parameter values representing genot...
متن کاملIdentifying loci for behavioral traits using genome-tagged mice.
Identification of behavioral loci through complex trait mapping remains a widely employed approach but suffers from poor gene localization and low replicability. Genome-tagged mice (GTMs) are overlapping sets of congenic strains spanning the whole genome and offer the possibilities of superior mapping power and reproducibility. In this study, three GTM strains each consisting of an average appr...
متن کاملPhenotyping for drought adaptation in wheat using physiological traits
Wheat (Triticum spp) is one of the first domesticated food crops. It represents the first source of calories (after rice) and an important source of proteins in developing countries. As a result of the Green Revolution, wheat yield sharply increased due to the use of improved varieties, irrigation, pesticides, and fertilizers. The rate of increase in world wheat production, however, slowed afte...
