Genetic variation in the tomato clade was explored by sequencing a selection of 84 tomato accessions and related wild species representative for the Lycopersicon, Arcanum, Eriopersicon, and Neolycopersicon groups. We present a…
In this investigation, five separate experiments were carried out. The first experiments were examined the molecular characteristics of 59 barley accessions collected from different regions in Iraq using three different molecular markers…
One of the great phytogeography zones of semi-arid lands in the world is the Kurdistan region of Iraq which hosts many important fruit species due to its geographical location and ecology. Mountain Hawthorn (Crataegus spp.) is a vital wild…
Durum wheat has been cultivated since the beginning of crop domestication, occupying now the tenth ranking among the global most significant cultivated crops. Despite the fact that, the extent of the crop genetic diversity has not yet fully…
The study was carried out during 2017 to 2019 growing seasons at four locations in Sulaimani governorate and one location in Halabja governorate, in the Iraqi Kurdistan region including SH, M, Q, B and H. A huge number almond trees were…
Background: Diversity estimates in cultivated plants provide a rationale for conservation strategies and support the selection of starting material for breeding programs. Diversity measures applied to crops usually have been limited to the…
Understanding the genetic basis of phenotypic plasticity is crucial for predicting and managing climate change effects on wild plants and crops. Here, we combined crop modeling and quantitative genetics to study the genetic control of oil…
Wheat varieties show a large diversity of traits and phenotypes. Linking them to genetic variability is essential for shorter and more efficient wheat breeding programs. Newly desirable wheat variety traits include disease resistance to…
Solanum melongena (eggplant) is one of the diversity of the Solanum family which is grown and widely spread in Indonesia and widely used by the community. This research explored the genetic diversity of four local Indonesian eggplant…
In order to develop association studies and to improve the phenotypic description for abiotic and biotic stress related traits, nested core collections of 48, 96, 144 and 384 sunflower lines were built from a set of 752 diverse, public or…
Observer bias and inconsistencies in traditional plant phenotyping methods limit the accuracy and reproducibility of fine-grained plant analysis. To overcome these challenges, we developed TomatoMAP, a comprehensive dataset for Solanum…
Plant breeding is one of the key strategies for further enhancement of crop yields; however, effective breeding strategies require phenotypic characterisation of the available germplasm. This study sought to characterise the phenotypic…
A crop can be represented as a biotechnical system in which components are either chosen (cultivar, management) or given (soil, climate) and whose combination generates highly variable stress patterns and yield responses. Here, we used…
The adaptive evolution of a population under the influence of mutation and selection is strongly influenced by the structure of the underlying fitness landscape, which encodes the interactions between mutations at different genetic loci.…
Although hypoxia is a major stress on physiological processes, several human populations have survived for millennia at high altitudes, suggesting that they have adapted to hypoxic conditions. This hypothesis was recently corroborated by…
Tomatoes are a major crop worldwide, and accurately classifying their maturity is important for many agricultural applications, such as harvesting, grading, and quality control. In this paper, the authors propose a novel method for tomato…
Empirical substitution matrices represent the average tendencies of substitutions over various protein families by sacrificing gene-level resolution. We develop a codon-based model, in which mutational tendencies of codon, a genetic code,…
Reductions in natural habitats urge that we better understand species' interconnection and how biological communities respond to environmental changes. However, ecological studies of species' interactions are limited by their geographic and…
Cell type (e.g. pluripotent cell, fibroblast) is the end result of many complex processes that unfold due to evolutionary, developmental, and transformational stimuli. A cell's phenotype and the discrete, a priori states that define various…
The present study aimed to investigate the genetic diversity in 42 German chamomile populations using morphological, biochemical, and ssr molecular markers, in both field and laboratory sections. Different populations of German chamomile…
