Vernalization and photoperiodism are two important physiological processes related to yield of many cool-season annual crops. The flowering response of 20 flax (Linum usitatissimumL.) genotypes to two vernalization regimes (vernalized and unvernalized) and two photoperiod treatments (10 and 14 h) was evaluated in a growth chamber study in 2010 and 2011. The results suggest that photoperiod, vernalization,...
Producing higher yields under organic conditions is generally hampered by weeds and lesser nutrient supply. In wheat certain adaptive traits like early season vigour, taller plants, and shorter life cycle have been reported to help plants compete with weeds and produce satisfactory yields. In this experiment we tested the hypothesis ‘that early flowering and maturity conferred by insensitive vernalization...
We investigated the molecular basis of an extremely late bolting, non-heading ‘Leafy Green Parental Line No. 2 (Tsukena No. 2)’, to obtain suitable DNA markers for breeding the late bolting trait in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. ssp. pekinensis). We found that Tsukena No. 2 contains a ~5 kbp large insertion near the 5′ end of the first intron of BrFLC2, BrFLC3 and BrFLC3′, which are homologs of...
Wheat is one of the most widely cultivated crops and, being the staple diet of more than 40 countries, it plays an imperative role in food security. Wheat has remarkable genetic potential to synchronize its flowering time with favourable environmental conditions. This ability to time its flowering is a key factor for its global adaptability and enables wheat plant to produce satisfactory grain yield...
