Salinity Is an Agent of Divergent Selection Driving Local Adaptation of Arabidopsis to Coastal Habitats.
Understanding the molecular mechanism of adaptive evolution in plants provides insights into the selective forces driving adaptation and the genetic basis of adaptive traits with agricultural value. The genomic resources available for Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) make it well suited to the rapid molecular dissection of adaptive processes. Although numerous potentially adaptive loci have b...
متن کاملA heavy metal P-type ATPase OsHMA4 prevents copper accumulation in rice grain
Rice is a major source of calories and mineral nutrients for over half the world's human population. However, little is known in rice about the genetic basis of variation in accumulation of copper (Cu), an essential but potentially toxic nutrient. Here we identify OsHMA4 as the likely causal gene of a quantitative trait locus controlling Cu accumulation in rice grain. We provide evidence that O...
متن کامل.The effect of information resources on the selection of strategies for adaptation to climate change by farmers (Case study: Golestan Province)
Background and Aim: The use of information resources is one of the important strategies in the selection of adaptation strategies to climate change by farmers. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of information resources on the selection of adaptation strategies to climate change by farmers in Golestan province. Method: The research was descriptive and survey. The statistical popu...
متن کاملImproved salt tolerance in canola (Brasica napus) plants by overexpression of Arabidopsis Na+/H+ antiporter gene AtNHX1
A significant portion of the world’s cultivated land is affected by salinity that reduces crop productivity in these areas. Breeding for salt tolerance is one of the important strategies to overcome this problem. Recently, genetic engineering is becoming a promising approach to improving salt tolerance. In order to improve the yield performance of canola in saline soils, we transformed canola w...
متن کاملStability Analysis and Selection of Salinity Tolerant barley Genotypes
The objectives of this study were to analyze genotype by environment (GE) interactions effects on the yield of barley lines and varieties, identifying salinity tolerant genotypes with stable yield and also evaluating genotype (G), environments (E) and GE interactions using different stability parameters. The research was set up as two Randomized Complete Block design with three replications at ...
