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

Sukumaran, Sivakumar (Kansas State University, 2012)

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 ...
Mapping QTL for fusarium head blight resistance in Chinese wheat landraces

Cai, Jin (Kansas State University, 2012)

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 ...
Physiological and genetic analyses of post-anthesis heat tolerance in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Vijayalakshmi, Kolluru (Kansas State University, 2007)

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 ...
