Investigating the Function of TaUBX57 in Enhancing Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Wheat.

Wheat ( L.), a crucial global food crop, provides approximately 20% of daily protein and caloric intake globally. However, its production is increasingly threatened by abiotic stressors, especially drought and salinity, which are exacerbated by climate change.

Classification of 17 species using DNA barcoding and SNPs, reveals gene flow among , , and .

Rapid changes in agricultural environments caused by global warming pose a major challenge to food production and safety. Common wheat () is a hexaploid plant (AABBDD) that shares large numbers of quantitative traits and resistance genes with B and D genomes of species, which are responsible for several metabolic functions and biosynthetic processes, particularly in plant adaptation to biotic as well as abiotic stresses. Comparatively, the abundance of the gene pool is much higher than that of .

Construction of a core collection of native Perilla germplasm collected from South Korea based on SSR markers and morphological characteristics.

The leaves and seed oil of Perilla crop (Perilla frutescens L.) have attracted interest as health foods in East Asia. This crop has been traditionally cultivated and used for a long time as a folk plant, especially in Korea.

Genetic Variation of Native Germplasms Collected from South Korea Using Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) Markers and Morphological Characteristics.

Using morphological characteristics and simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers, we evaluated the morphological variation and genetic diversity of 200 accessions collected from the five regions of South Korea and another region. In morphological characteristics analysis, particularly leaf color, stem color, degree of pubescence, and leaf size have been found to help distinguish the morphological features of native accessions cultivated in South Korea. Twenty SSR primer sets confirmed a total of 137 alleles in the 200 accessions.

Identifying SSR Markers Related to Seed Fatty Acid Content in Crop ( L.).

seed oil has been attracting attention in South Korea as a health food. Five fatty acids of 100 accessions were identified as follows: palmitic acid (PA) (5.10-9.

Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Potato Germplasm in RDA-Genebank: Utilization for Breeding and Conservation.

Potato ( L.) is an important staple food and economic crop in many countries. It is of critical importance to understand the genetic diversity and population structure for effective collection, conservation, and utilization of potato germplasm.

Identification of Species Native to South Korea Using Molecular and Morphological Characteristics.

Recently, within the Fabaceae family, the genus has been recognized for its vital role in sustainable agriculture. species are economically important grain and forage crops. However, the presence of complex morphological characteristics makes identification and recognition of native species difficult.

Assessment of genetic diversity and population structure among a collection of Korean Perilla germplasms based on SSR markers.

Background: Information on the genetic variation of genetic resource collections is very important for both the conservation and utilization of crop germplasms in genebanks. Var. frutescens of Perilla crop is extensively cultivated in South Korea as both an oil crop and a vegetable crop.

Interspecific variation of seed morphological and micro-morphological traits in the genus Vicia (Fabaceae).

Seed macro- and micro-morphology were analyzed to evaluate their capacity to discriminate species in the genus Vicia (Fabaceae). To assess the interspecific variation of the taxa in the genus Vicia, 41 accessions were obtained from the USDA-ARS germplasm collection in the USA and 19 accessions were collected from Korea. Seed morphological characteristics such as shape, color, mottling, finish, length, width, diameter, hilum shape, hilum color, hilum length, and lens distance from the hilum were examined under a stereomicroscope.

Genotyping-by-Sequencing Derived Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms Provide the First Well-Resolved Phylogeny for the Genus (Poaceae).

Wheat ( spp.) has been an important staple food crop for mankind since the beginning of agriculture. The genus L.

Phytochemicals and Antioxidant Activity of Korean Black Soybean ( L.) Landraces.

Black soybean ( L.) has been used as a traditional medicine because its seed coat contains various natural phenolic compounds such as anthocyanins. The objective of this study was to reveal the genetic variation in the agricultural traits, phytochemicals, and antioxidant activity of 172 Korean black soybean landraces (KBSLs) and establish a relationship among them.

Genetic Diversity Assessed by Genotyping by Sequencing (GBS) in Watermelon Germplasm.

Watermelon is an economically important vegetable fruit worldwide. The objective of this study was to conduct a genetic diversity of 68 watermelon accessions using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Genotyping by sequencing (GBS) was used to discover SNPs and assess genetic diversity and population structure using STRUCTURE and discriminant analysis of principal components (DAPC) in watermelon accessions.

New Genetic Loci Associated with Preharvest Sprouting and Its Evaluation Based on the Model Equation in Rice.

Preharvest sprouting (PHS) in rice panicles is an important quantitative trait that causes both yield losses and the deterioration of grain quality under unpredictable moisture conditions at the ripening stage. However, the molecular mechanism underlying PHS has not yet been elucidated. Here, we explored the genetic loci associated with PHS in rice and formulated a model regression equation for rapid screening for use in breeding programs.

PlantGI: a database for searching gene indices in agricultural plants developed at NIAB, Korea.

Unlabelled: The Plant Gene Index (PlantGI) database is developed as a web-based search system with search capabilities for keywords to provide information on gene indices specifically for agricultural plants. The database contains specific Gene Index information for ten agricultural species, namely, rice, Chinese cabbage, wheat, maize, soybean, barley, mushroom, Arabidopsis, hot pepper and tomato. PlantGI differs from other Gene Index databases in being specific to agricultural plant species and thus complements services from similar other developments.
