Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important crops worldwide, and, as a resilient
cereal, it grows in various climatic zones. Due to changing climatic conditions and naturally …

Pigments are essential to the life of all living organisms. Animals and plants have been the
subjects of basic and applied research with the aim of determining the basis of the …

Background Molecular marker technologies are undergoing a transition from largely serial
assays measuring DNA fragment sizes to hybridization-based technologies with high …

Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity is highly related to the undesirable browning of wheat-
based end products, especially Asian noodles. Characterization of PPO genes and the …

Polyphenol oxidases (PPOs) catalyze the oxidation of phenolics to quinones, the secondary
reactions of which lead to oxidative browning and postharvest losses of many fruits and …

The major aluminum (Al) tolerance gene in wheat ALMT1 confers. An Al-activated efflux of
malate from root apices. We determined the genomic structure of the ALMT1 gene and found …

Blackleg, caused by Leptosphaeria maculans, is one of the most important diseases of
oilseed and vegetable crucifiers worldwide. The present study describes (1) the construction …

Aluminium (Al) tolerance in barley is conditioned by the Alp locus on the long arm of
chromosome 4H, which is associated with Al-activated release of citrate from roots. We …

Optimum flowering time is the key to maximize canola production in order to meet global
demand of vegetable oil, biodiesel and canola‐meal. We reveal extensive variation in …

We identified quantitative trait loci (QTL) underlying variation for flowering time in a doubled
haploid (DH) population of vernalisation—responsive canola (Brassica napus L.) cultivars …
