to improve bread wheat salt tolerance, new genetic sources of salt tolerance are indispensable, and this requires a screening of wheat germplasm. in order to evaluate bread wheat germplasm, 34 accessions including; hexaploid wheats (aabbdd), tetraploid (aabb) and wild relative diploids (dd and aa genome) collected from different regions of iran were evaluated under normal vs. salinity stress (n...

Wild soybean germplasm is distributed widely in China, particularly Heilongjiang Province. In this study, 242 wild accessions from four agricultural divisions Province were evaluated based on six qualitative and eight quantitative traits. Results showed that a large amount of variation occurred these Abundant traits included the type (78.51%), purple flowers (90.50%), needle leaf (39.26%), blac...

Interest in myrtle (Myrtus communis L.) by food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutic industries generated the integration of biomasses harvested from wild populations as raw materials with yields cultivated orchards. The domestication process is reviewed considering shoot, fruit, leaf biometric characters selections obtained three steps program. first step started Sardinia (Italy) 1995 analysis germpla...

Hanjeli is one of the alternative food crops that are high in nutrients, healthful, easy to grow, and adaptable a wide range environmental circumstances. Due limited understanding people who believe wild plant or weed, usage this commodity still quite low Indonesia. To save prevent loss genetic resources, it vital study, inventory, characterize so breeders can use create greater varieties futur...

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is an important native grass and dominant member of the tallgrass prairie ecosystem. It is used for conservation, restoration, livestock feed production, and bioenergy feedstock production. The purpose of this review is to describe the biological and geographical basis for switchgrass germplasm diversity and to provide a resource for scientists and outreach per...

Th e world's food production systems must keep up with an ever-increasing demand in spite of the challenges caused by climate change and environmental degradation. To meet this challenge, plant breeders must have access to genetic diversity for crop improvement. However, genetic homogeneity in the handful of major crops that feed the world limits options for breeding progress (Swaminathan, 2009...

Establishment of new plant varieties is getting important due to tremendous increase in population and changes in the human food behaviors. This leads towards the demand of new techniques and varieties in plant productions. Therefore some of the wild species and some other important plants species are in the extinction condition. Germplasm conservation of some of the important species is essent...

Bromeliaceae is an important botany family that includes many species with economic value; demand for members of this family is increasing. However, illegal collection frequently occurs, drastically reducing the species populations; thus, it is necessary to collect and store Bromeliaceae genetic material. In this study, we identified and quantified genetic variability of the Bromeliad family us...

Considerable insights were recently gained into the history and process of rice domestication. It becomes increasingly clear that artificial and natural selections coupled with extensive introgression have shaped the genomes of cultivated rice. The interplay of these evolutionary forces gave rise to the cultivated species, Oryza sativa, with divergent genomic backgrounds from two wild species, ...
