Cultivated strawberry has been originated from hybridization between Fragaria chiloensis and F. virginiana. The progenitor species exhibit significant genetic diversity. Growth attributes of their responses to several stress factors have studied. However, iron-deficiency tolerance (FeDT) different merely tested under hydroponic conditions. This study evaluated FeDT 23 genotypes belonging super-...

One hundred accessions of a “core collection” Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) DC. and Eruca spp. were screened at seedling stage for resistance to downy mildew. Accessions tested the assigned 0–6 interaction phenotypes. All cultivated rocket (Eruca spp.) exhibited resistant (R) response both in cotyledons young leaves. The wild (D. tenuifolia) higher susceptibility than 1st 2nd leaves, with 16 47 cl...

<p><strong>Background. </strong>For the Guatemalan culture, avocado (<em>Persea americana</em> Mill) represents more than a crop, since it has religious, mythical, economical, and medicinal significance typical of center domestication species. Although there is speculation about wide variability wild germplasm, are no studies describing populations. <strong>O...

To create novel tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) germplasm, a wild relative, S. pimpinellifolium (a red-fruited LA1585 accession), was used as the male parent to cross with yellow-fruited mutant, e9292 (S. lycopersicum). Forty-four morphological characteristics were examined in present study; 22 (LA1585) traits and six lycopersicum (e9292) dominant hybrids (first generation, F1); 10 intermediate t...

Reproduction studies, particularly embryology, represent basic information of any plant. However, the current embryological is fragmentary for Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.). Here, paraffin sections were used to examine cyto-embryological characteristics, including microsporogenesis, microgametogenesis, megasporogenesis, megagametogenesis, and apomixis, wild germplasm from Gannan (GN) Lo...

Dongxiang wild rice (DXWR) is one of the most valuable germplasm resources rice. It important to conserve genetic diversity and uncover population differentiation DXWR. In this study, we analyzed DXWR based on whole-genome resequencing 220 lines collected from nine natural populations in an ex situ conservation nursery. Almost half SNPs Indels detected these were absent cultivated or other comm...
