All roads lead to Rome: QTL analysis for vernalization requirement and dissection of allelic variation uncovered unexpected diversity of FLC loci in Camelina sativa by Vicky Roslinsky, Raju Chaudhary, Annette Zatylny, Isobel A. P. Parkin, Christina Eynck

“…Winter camelina (Camelina sativa) is a climate-resilient oilseed crop that has received attention as a feedstock crop for advanced, low-carbon-intensity biofuels. Breeding programs working on winter camelina improvement have to contend with heterogeneous germplasm, oftentimes erroneously identified as winter biotypes, and a gene pool that is much smaller than that of spring-type camelina, the latter having motivated crosses between winter and spring biotypes. …”

Beta-Estradiol Hormone Application to Increase Salt Tolerance of Different Potato Genotypes (Solanum tuberosum L.) by Fahimeh Jidar, Rasool Asghari Zakaria, Nasser Zare, Davood Hassanpanah, Leila Ghaffarzadeh Namazi

“…Overall, in this study, G5 and G6 genotypes had relatively high minituber number and weight per plant under salinity stress conditions, Thus, selection of these genotypes is recommended for future breeding programs. Also, these two genotypes had the highest number and weight of minitubers per plant at 10-12 and 10-6 M beta estradiol, which indicates that these genotypes have a high genetic potential for consumption of this hormone as compared to other genotypes.…”
