Genomic outcomes of haploid induction crosses in potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) por Amundson, K.R., Ordoñez, B., Santayana, M., Tan, E.H., Henry, I.M., Mihovilovich, E., Bonierbale, Merideth W., Comai, L.

“…Here, we surveyed a population of 167 presumed dihaploids for large-scale structural variation that would underlie chromosomal addition from the HI, and for small-scale introgression of genetic markers. In 19 progeny, we detected 10 of the 12 possible trisomies and, in all cases, demonstrated the noninducer parent origin of the additional chromosome. …”

Phenomics of rice early vigour and drought response: are sugar related and morphogenetic traits relevant? por Rebolledo, Maria-Camila, Dingkuhn, Michael, Clément-Vidal, Anne, Rouan, Lauriane, Luquet, Delphine

“…A greenhouse experiment was conducted to characterize on a panel of 43 rice genotypes plant morphogenesis and sugar concentration in expanded (source) and expanding (sink) leaves.Across genotypes in control treatment, leaf starch concentration was negatively correlated with organogenetic development rate (DR, defined as leaf appearance rate on main stem). Genotypes with small leaves had high DR and tiller number but low leaf starch concentration. …”

Spatial interpolation of soil hydraulic properties and simulated rice yield por Wopereis, M.C.S., Stein, A., Kropff, M.J., Bouma, J.

“…Differences between the two procedures for the total area and for a test set of 22 additionally sampled locations were small. A 60% increase in precision was achieved when relatively large management units were defined.A Geographical Information System was used to identify areas with greatest yield potential for rainfed dryland rice. …”

Effect of ploidy on stomatal and other quantitative traits in plantain and banana hybrids por Vandenhout, H., Ortíz, R., Vuylsteke, D.R., Swennen, Rony L., Bai, K.

“…Stomatal density and size were significantly correlated (P < 0.01) with ploidy, although the correlation coefficients were not high (r = -0.49 and r = 0.47, for stomatal density and size, respectively). High density of small stomata was correlated with low ploidy level, and vice versa. …”
