    • Covariation for microsatellite marker alleles associated with Rht8 and coleoptile length in winter wheat 

      Bai, Guihua; Das, Modan K.; Carver, Brett F.; Xu, Xiangyang; Krenzer, Eugene G. (Crop Science Society of America, 2004-07)
      Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars with greater coleoptile elongation are preferred in low-precipitation dryland regions and in early-planted management systems of the Great Plains, but the presence of GA3 (gibberell ...
    • Genetic association of OPR genes with resistance to Hessian fly in hexaploid wheat 

      Tan, Chor Tee; Carver, Brett Frederick; Chen, Ming-Shun; Gu, Yong-Qiang; Yan, Liuling (BioMed Central, 2013-06-01)
      Background: Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor) is one of the most destructive pests of wheat. The genes encoding 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductase (OPR) and lipoxygenase (LOX) play critical roles in insect resistance ...
    • Multi-trait genomic selection methods for crop improvement 

      Moeinizade, Saba; Kusmec, Aaron; Hu, Guiping; Wang, Lizhi; Schnable, Patrick S. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-05-29)
      Plant breeders make selection decisions based on multiple traits, such as yield, plant height, flowering time, and disease resistance. A commonly used approach in multi-trait genomic selection is index selection, which ...
    • Precisely mapping a major gene conferring resistance to Hessian fly in bread wheat using genotyping-by-sequencing 

      Li, Genqiao; Wang, Ying; Chen, Ming-Shun; Edae, Erena; Poland, Jesse; Akhunov, Edward; Chao, Shiaoman; Bai, Guihua; Carver, Brett Frederick; Yan, Liuling (BioMed Central, 2015-02-15)
      Background: One of the reasons hard red winter wheat cultivar 'Duster' (PI 644016) is widely grown in the southern Great Plains is that it confers a consistently high level of resistance to biotype GP of Hessian fly (Hf). ...
