Comparative analyses identify adaptive genetic variation in crops and crop wild relatives
… putatively adaptive variants in the genomes of crops and crop wild relatives. These approaches have the potential to identify genetic variants that are under selection and thus potentially contributing to local adaptation. As a background to the dissertation, I present in Chapter 1 the state of …

Genetic diversity studies of Trifolium species from the extremes of the UK
Crop wild relatives have been identified as ecologically and economically important plant genetic resources but are often a neglected resource. The recognition of the need for their specific conservation and their value for future use has been strengthened by the Convention on Biological Diversity …

Exploitation of morphometric, biochemical and genetic traits of traditional vegetable for providing novel foods [Valutazione dei tratti morfometrici, biochimici e genetici di ortive tradizionali per la produzione di novel foods]
… delle specie spontanee parentali (Crop Wild Relatives - CWRs) appartenenti alla famiglia delle Brassicaceae, che svolgono un ruolo importante nel miglioramento genetico delle colture afferenti a Brassica oleracea L. (cavolo broccolo, cavolfiore, cavolo da foglia, cavolo cappuccio, …

The evolutionary history and impact of polyploidy in mustard crops and their relatives
… play a crucial role in plant evolution. Mustard crops (Brassica) such as bok choy, broccoli, cabbage, and canola belong to the tribe Brassiceae within the mustard family (Brassicaceae), nested in the larger order Brassicales. These crops share a relatively recent Br-[alpha] WGT, which has …

Unlocking the genetic diversity of the undomesticated rice relative Oryza longistaminata
Rice (Oryza sativa) is a crucial part of the global food supply. Meeting projected increases in demand, which are rising fastest in sub-Saharan Africa, while using resources efficiently and adapting to a changing climate will require new sources of variation for trait improvement. The genetically …

Genomic characterization of multi-parental populations of sorghum and rice
… on genetic analysis of two important cereal crops, sorghum and rice. Research presented in chapters 1 and 2 was performed at UIUC under the supervision of Dr. Patrick J. Brown, and research presented in chapter 3 was performed at IRRI under the supervision of Dr. Kenneth L. McNally. Sorghum …

Genetic diversity and population structure of Vaccinium vitis-idaea
… associated with achieving this for perennial crops and their wild relatives, which are often clonal. This is because in species capable of asexual reproduction, it is necessary to first differentiate between clonal ramets and unique genets before measuring genetic diversity. We assessed the …

Valorizzazione di genotipi coltivati e selvatici di Brassiche (Brassica oleracea L.) e pomodoro (Solanum lycopersicum L.) per aspetti innovativi relativi alla produzione e alla qualità dell'orticoltura biologica
… linee genetiche in via di sviluppo e crop wild relatives (CWRs). Sono state valutate diverse caratteristiche morfologiche ed agronomiche riguardanti la struttura dell’infiorescenza, la quale è determinata dall’architettura morfologica della pianta. In funzione di tale caratteristica, …
