There has been a constant demand of diverse donors for enhancing tolerance to P‐deficient soils. In this study, we evaluated 181 <jats:italic>aus</jats:italic> rice accessions of the 3000 Rice Genome Project (3 K‐RGP) for grain yield and six other agronomical traits under control (~20 mg kg<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> available P) and low‐P (8–10 mg kg<jats:sup>−1</jats:sup> available P) field trials. The objectives were to assess the level of low‐P tolerance in the <jats:italic>aus</jats:italic> germplasm and select stable high‐yielding accessions using stress tolerance attributes. We also surveyed the presence of <jats:italic>PSTOL1</jats:italic> gene and <jats:italic>Pup1</jats:italic> polymorphisms to find the effect of <jats:italic>PSTOL1</jats:italic> as well as t <jats:italic>Pup1</jats:italic> haplotypes on low‐P tolerance. Principal component analysis (PCA) using five stress tolerance attributes revealed that attributes like mean productivity (MP) and stress tolerance index (STI) are useful for selecting high‐yielding accessions with stable yield under stress and control conditions. Notably, accessions like Kalabokari, Devarasi, ARC 12021, Jasure Aus, ARC 7336 and ARC 12101 had higher level of tolerance than the check varieties Vandana and Sahbhagi Dhan. Majority of <jats:italic>aus</jats:italic> accessions carried the <jats:italic>PSTOL1</jats:italic> gene (73%) and had the tolerant haplotype of <jats:italic>Pup1</jats:italic> (65%) like the tolerant checks. Although, at large, the <jats:italic>PSTOL1‐</jats:italic>positive accessions were more vigorous, and high yielding under low‐P, there were a few <jats:italic>PSTOL1</jats:italic>‐negative <jats:italic>aus</jats:italic> accessions showing higher level of tolerance.

Sweet corn goals focus on marketable yield including several quality traits.

The selected populations were subsequently compared in four environments for several plant‐, yield‐ and quality traits relative to the original population. Analysis of variance was used to detect selection progress and indirect effects of selection. Full‐sib and S2‐selection decreased total yield. Marketable yield was decreased more by S2‐selection than by full‐sib selection. Flowering time was changed by full‐sib selection, but not by S2‐selection. Full‐sib selection improved ear quality by increasing ear length, the diameter of the ear and the number of kernel rows. S2‐selection showed no effect or a negative effect on ear quality. The application of a single cycle of selection using either method seemed inadequate for increasing marketable yield. More cycles might be necessary to make significant improvements.","PeriodicalId":20228,"journal":{"name":"Plant Breeding","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140804411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, sensory attributes are often neglected in early generations of breeding programmes and genetic studies, although there is a demand for tomatoes with improved flavour. In this study, the recently developed Breeders' Sensory Test was applied to an F<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> mapping population derived from two parents with superior flavour. Sensory attributes, physicochemical measurements, volatiles and fruit weight were assessed in organic low‐input and hydroponic cultivation. A linkage map spanning 1070 cM was developed. In total, 71 quantitative trait loci (QTL) were detected for the means of both cultivation systems, 61 for organic and 46 for hydroponic cultivation. A proportion of 27% of the loci were co‐localized between both cultivation systems. Nine distinct QTL clusters for flavour‐related traits were identified, including a large cluster on chromosome 6 comprising five sensory and nine volatile QTL. The sensory QTL on chromosomes 2, 5, 6, 10 and 11, partly within clusters, are recommended for marker‐assisted selection.","PeriodicalId":20228,"journal":{"name":"Plant Breeding","volume":"84 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140583420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, a mass selection program was implemented to increase the tolerance of sorghum to the broad-spectrum herbicide tembotrione. The objectives of this study are to determine (i) which observation timing and vegetative indices are most effective in assessing sorghum injury to tembotrione using unoccupied aerial system imagery and (ii) if mass selection can be used to increase the tolerance of sorghum to tembotrione. Using an unoccupied aerial system, several vegetative indices, collected at either 14 or 21 days after tembotrione application, accurately measured sorghum injury. Over four cycles of selection, tembotrione tolerance increased in a linear and consistent manner. This demonstrates that mass selection can be used as a strategy for developing herbicide tolerance in crops. The modest, but steady genetic gain indicates both the quantitative nature of the trait and sufficient heritability to improve it. Given further development, tembotrione-resistant sorghum hybrids could provide an effective means of post-emergent weed control for a range of common weeds.","PeriodicalId":20228,"journal":{"name":"Plant Breeding","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140297434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pusa Safed Baingan 1 (cluster bearer) and Pusa Hara Baingan 1 (solitary bearer) having contrasting traits were crossed to generate F₁ (20 plants), F₂ (215 plants), B₁ (73 plants) and B₂ (64 plants).
