Two of the γ-gliadin fractions were ident...

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are extensively used to gather remote sensing data, offering high image resolution and swift data acquisition despite being labor-intensive. In contrast, satellite-based remote sensing, providing sub-meter spatial resolution and frequent revisit times, could serve as an alternative data source for phenotyping. In thi...

The genetic variation and population structure of a panel of 90 durum wheat (Triticum durum desf.) consisting of 62 varieties and breeding lines originating from two agro-ecological zones in Bulgaria (Northern and Southern Bulgaria) and 28 introduced varieties from South–western, Central and Eastern Europe, and the USA were determined by 34 microsa...

The aim of this study was to establish the genotype by environment interaction for grain yield and the phenotypic stability of 27 durum wheat genotypes. The study was conducted on the experimental field of the Field Crops Institute - Chirpan. The studied genotypes were set in a randomized block design in four replications with replication size of 1...

The utility of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) imagery in retrieving phenotypic data to support plant breeding research has been a topic of increasing interest in recent years. The advantages of image-based phenotyping are related to the high spatial and temporal resolution of the retrieved data and the non-destructive and rapid method of data acqui...

The purpose of the study is to determine the variability and stability of traits related to the amount of yellow pigments in the grain, semolina and the finished pasta product. In addition the polymorphism in one of the phytoene synthase gene on chromosome 7A related to carotenoids synthesis was detected. In the investigation were included 10 durum...
