Evolutionary 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 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 کاملPlant volatile compounds: sensory cues for health and nutritional value?
Plants produce many volatile metabolites. A small subset of these compounds is sensed by animals and humans, and the volatile profiles are defining elements of the distinct flavors of individual foods. Flavor volatiles are derived from an array of nutrients, including amino acids, fatty acids, and carotenoids. In tomato, almost all of the important flavor-related volatiles are derived from esse...
متن کاملAnalytical and Nutritional Aspects of Folate in Cereals
Johansson, M. 2005. Analytical and Nutritional Aspects of Folate in Cereals. Doctoral dissertation. ISSN 1652-6880, ISBN 91-576-7006-4 A good folate status before conception and during early pregnancy protects against child birth defects, particularly neural tube defects. According to dietary surveys, only a few percent of Swedish women reach the recommended daily intake of folate (400 μg). Swe...
متن کاملBreeding 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...
