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 کاملBreeding parrots -- learn about their life in the wild
Experience does enter the equation to a degree, but many beginners are successful while others keep parrots for years with very poor breeding results. This is not only because they have too many birds and not enough time to devote to each pair, but because they lack the ability to identify with the parrots in their care. Yes, it is all about caring and that derives from careful observation and ...
متن کاملThe Consequences of Feminization in Breeding Groups of Wild Fish
BACKGROUND The feminization of nature by endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is a key environmental issue affecting both terrestrial and aquatic wildlife. A crucial and as yet unanswered question is whether EDCs have adverse impacts on the sustainability of wildlife populations. There is widespread concern that intersex fish are reproductively compromised, with potential population-level cons...
