Genomic mapping for grain yield, stay green, and grain quality traits in sorghum

Sukumaran, Sivakumar (Kansas State University, 2012-11-28)

Knowledge of the genetic bases of grain quality traits will complement plant breeding efforts to improve the end use value of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench). The objective of the first experiment was to assess ...
Heat tolerance studies for wheat improvement

Talukder, Shyamal Krishna (Kansas State University, 2014-07-25)

Heat stress is one of the major environmental constraints for wheat production worldwide. High temperature during grain filling in wheat leads to a significant reduction in yield. In this research, three different projects ...
Mapping QTL for fusarium head blight resistance in Chinese wheat landraces

Cai, Jin (Kansas State University, 2012-04-27)

Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the most devastative diseases in wheat. Growing resistant cultivars is one of the most effective strategies to minimize the disease damage. Huangcandou (HCD) is a Chinese wheat landrace ...
Mining the Aegilops tauschii gene pool: evaluation, introgression and molecular characterization of adult plant resistance to leaf rust and seedling resistance to tan spot in synthetic hexaploid wheat

Kalia, Bhanu (Kansas State University, 2015-04-15)

Leaf rust, caused by fungus Puccinia triticina, is an important foliar disease of wheat worldwide. Breeding for race-nonspecific resistant cultivars is the best strategy to combat this disease. Aegilops tauschii, D genome ...
Physiological and genetic analyses of post-anthesis heat tolerance in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Vijayalakshmi, Kolluru (Kansas State University, 2007-05-02)

Post-anthesis high temperature stress in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major cause of yield reduction. This process results in the loss of viable leaf area and a decrease in green leaf duration ultimately causing a ...
QTL mapping for Caenorhabditis elegans survivorship in response to Escherichia coli and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia

Wang, Ziyi (Kansas State University, )

Caenorhabditis elegans are free-living bacterivorous nematodes that naturally consume bacteria as food source. As an excellent genetic model, C. elegans has proven to be a successful system to study innate immune responses ...
