Identification of novel quantitative trait loci for resistance to Fusarium seedling blight caused by Microdochium majus and M. nivale in wheat (2016)
Journal Article

Microdochium nivale and Microdochium majus are important causal agents of Fusarium seedling blight (FSB) and Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat and other cereals worldwide. A doubled-haploid population derived from a cross between the winter wheat R...

Identification of gene modules associated with low temperatures response in Bambara groundnut by network-based analysis (2016)
Journal Article

Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) is an African legume and is a promising underutilized crop with good seed nutritional values. Low temperature stress in a number of African countries at night, such as Botswana, can effect the growth...

Spelt as a genetic resource for yield component improvement in bread wheat (2015)
Journal Article

Novel germplasm resources are required to broaden the genetic diversity of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) for further yield improvement. In this study, the usefulness of spelt (T. spelta L.) as a genetic resource to improve yield components of br...

Optimizing tiller production and survival for grain yield improvement in a bread wheat × spelt mapping population (2015)
Journal Article

Background and Aims: Tiller production and survival determine final spike number, and play key roles in grain yield formation in wheat (Triticum aestivum). This study aimed to understand the genetic and physiological basis of the tillering process, a... Read More about Optimizing tiller production and survival for grain yield improvement in a bread wheat × spelt mapping population.

Carpel size, grain filling, and morphology determine individual grain weight in wheat (2015)
Journal Article

Individual grain weight is a major yield component in wheat. To provide a comprehensive understanding of grain weight determination, the carpel size at anthesis, grain dry matter accumulation, grain water uptake and loss, grain morphological expansio... Read More about Carpel size, grain filling, and morphology determine individual grain weight in wheat.

Relationships between physiological traits, grain number and yield potential in a wheat DH population of large spike phenotype (2014)
Journal Article

Genetical and comparative genomics of Brassica under altered Ca supply identifies Arabidopsis Ca-transporter orthologs (2014)
Journal Article

Although Ca transport in plants is highly complex, the overexpression of vacuolar Ca2+ transporters in crops is a promising new technology to improve dietary Ca supplies through biofortification. Here, we sought to identify novel targets for increasi... Read More about Genetical and comparative genomics of Brassica under altered Ca supply identifies Arabidopsis Ca-transporter orthologs.

High density SNP and SSR-based genetic maps of two independent oil palm hybrids (2014)
Journal Article

Development of microsatellite markers and detection of genetic variation between Goniozus wasp populations (2014)
Journal Article

Molecular genetic markers reveal differences between genotypes according to the presence of alleles (the same or different) at target loci. Microsatellite markers are especially useful codominant markers that have been used in a wide range of studies...

Pigeons: a novel GUI software for analysing and parsing high density heterologous oligonucleotide microarray probe level data (2014)
Journal Article

Genomic DNA-based probe selection by using high density oligonucleotide arrays has recently been applied to heterologous species (Xspecies). With the advent of this new approach, researchers are able to study the genome and transcriptome of a non-mod...
