Scientific reports

McHugh TA, Morrissey EM, Reed SC, Hungate BA, Schwartz E.
PMID: 26345615
Sci Rep. 2015 Sep 08;5:13767. doi: 10.1038/srep13767.

Water drives the functioning of Earth's arid and semiarid lands. Drylands can obtain water from sources other than precipitation, yet little is known about how non-rainfall water inputs influence dryland communities and their activity. In particular, water vapor adsorption--movement...

The cuticle covers the aerial parts of land plants, where it serves many important functions, including water retention. Here, a recessive cuticle mutant, eceriferum-ym (cer-ym), of Hordeum vulgare L. (barley) showed abnormally glossy spikes, sheaths, and leaves. The cer-ym...

Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.), which is an outcrossing hexaploid, is one of the most important starch-producing crops in the world. During the last decade, new sweetpotato cultivars, e.g. 'Quick Sweet', which have approximately 20°C lower pasting temperature, slower...

PCR-based INDEL markers co-dominant between Oryza sativa, japonica cultivars and closely-related wild Oryza species.

Breed Sci. 2015 Sep;65(4):357-61. doi: 10.1270/jsbbs.65.357. Epub 2015 Sep 01.

Wild relatives genetically close to cultivars are precious genetic resources for plant breeding. Oryza rufipogon, O. barthii, O. glumaepatula, O. meridionalis and O. longistaminata are such wild species, and are also categorized as AA genome species based on their...

Diversity of seed cesium accumulation in soybean mini-core collections.

Breeding science

Takagi K, Kaga A, Ishimoto M, Hajika M, Matsunaga T.
PMID: 26719739
Breed Sci. 2015 Dec;65(5):372-80. doi: 10.1270/jsbbs.65.372. Epub 2015 Dec 01.

Radiocesium is an extremely harmful radionuclide because of its long half-life; it is important to reduce its transfer from contaminated soil into crops. Here we surveyed genetic variation for seed cesium (Cs) concentration in soybean mini-core collections representing large...

Evaluation of genetic variation among wild rice populations in Cambodia.

Breeding science

Orn C, Shishido R, Akimoto M, Ishikawa R, Htun TM, Nonomura K, Koide Y, Sarom M, Vang S, Sophany S, Makara O, Ishii T.
PMID: 26719746
Breed Sci. 2015 Dec;65(5):430-7. doi: 10.1270/jsbbs.65.430. Epub 2015 Dec 01.

A total of 448 samples in five natural populations of wild rice (Oryza rufipogon) were collected in Cambodia. They were examined using 12 SSR and two chloroplast markers to evaluate the degree of variation among populations and the genetic...

Overexpression of BSR1 confers broad-spectrum resistance against two bacterial diseases and two major fungal diseases in rice.

Breeding science

PMID: 27436950
Breed Sci. 2016 Jun;66(3):396-406. doi: 10.1270/jsbbs.15157. Epub 2016 May 20.

Broad-spectrum disease resistance against two or more types of pathogen species is desirable for crop improvement. In rice, Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), the causal bacteria of rice leaf blight, and Magnaporthe oryzae, the fungal pathogen causing rice blast,...

Quantitative trait locus mapping of soybean maturity gene E5.
