Evolutionary Conservation and Transcriptome Analyses Attribute Perenniality and Flowering to Day-Length Responsive Genes in Bulbous Barley (Hordeum bulbosum)
Abstract:Rapid population growth and dramatic climatic turnovers are challenging global crop production. These challenges are spurring plant breeders to enhance adaptation and sustainability of major crops. One intriguing approach is to turn annual systems into perennial, yet long-term classical breeding efforts to induce perenniality have achieved limited success. Here, we report results of our investigation of the genetic basis of bulb formation in the non-model organism Hordeum bulbosum, a perennial species closely … Show more
