Aluminium (Al) toxicity is one of the major limiting factors for barley production on acid soils.
It inhibits root cell division and elongation, thus reducing water and nutrient uptake, …

The growing human population and a changing environment have raised significant
concern for global food security, with the current improvement rate of several important crops …

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

To address the global demand for rapeseed while considering farmers’ profit, we face the
challenges of making a quantum leap in seed yield and, at the same time, reducing yield loss …

The first confirmed mechanism for aluminum (Al) resistance in plants is encoded by the
wheat (Triticum aestivum) gene, TaALMT1, on chromosome 4DL. TaALMT1 controls the Al-…

The Lr34/Yr18 adult plant resistance gene contributes significantly to durable leaf rust (caused
by Puccinia triticina Eriks.) resistance. Simple and robust molecular markers that enable …

Resistance to pod shattering (shatter resistance) is a target trait for global rapeseed (canola,
Brassica napus L.), improvement programs to minimise grain loss in the mature standing …

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 …

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 developed a …

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 of a …
