Increasing seed oil content is one of the most important breeding targets for rapeseed (Brassica napus). In this study, we combined quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping and marker-trait association analysis to dissect the genetic basis of seed oil content in rapeseed. A doubled haploid (DH) population with 261 lines was grown in two highly contrasting macro-environments, Germany with winter ecotype...
Powdery mildew of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici, is a major fungal disease in many areas of the world. Synthetic hexaploids, created from durum wheat and Aegilops tauschii are important sources of beneficial genes for wheat improvement. Synthetic wheat ‘SE5785’ was found resistant to powdery mildew at the seedling and adult stages. Genetic analyses of the...
Heterosis (or hybrid vigor) is a natural phenomenon whereby hybrid offspring of genetically diverse individuals display improved physical and functional characteristics relative to their parents. Heterosis has been increasingly applied in crop production for nearly a century, with the aim of developing more vigorous, higher yielding and better performing cultivars. In this review we present and compare...
