Assessing and exploiting functional diversity in germplasm pools to enhance abiotic stress adaptation and yield in cereals and food legumes
(Frontiers Media SA, 2017-08-29)There is a need to accelerate crop improvement by introducing alleles conferring host plant resistance, abiotic stress adaptation, and high yield potential. Elite cultivars, landraces and wild relatives harbor useful genetic ... -
Disaggregating polyploidy, parental genome dosage and hybridity contributions to heterosis in arabidopsis thaliana
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-09-23)Heterosis is the phenomenon whereby hybrid offspring of genetically divergent parents display superior characteristics compared with their parents. Although hybridity and polyploidy can influence heterosis in hybrid plants, ... -
Structured patterns in geographic variability of metabolic phenotypes in arabidopsis thaliana
(Springer Nature, 2012-12-27)Understanding molecular factors determining local adaptation is a key challenge, particularly relevant for plants, which are sessile organisms coping with a continuously fluctuating environment. Here we introduce a rigorous ...
