Analysis of the primary sources of quantitative adult plant resistance to stripe rust in U.S. soft red winter wheat germplasm

Ward, B. P., Merrill, K., Bulli, P., Pumphrey, M., Mason, R. E., Mergoum, M., … Brown‐Guedira, G. (2021, February 17). The Plant Genome.

By: B. Ward*, K. Merrill n, P. Bulli *, M. Pumphrey *, R. Mason*, M. Mergoum*, J. Johnson*, S. Sapkota * ...

MeSH headings : Chromosome Mapping; Disease Resistance / genetics; Genome-Wide Association Study; Plant Breeding; Plant Diseases / genetics; Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide; Quantitative Trait Loci; Triticum / genetics; United States
topics (OpenAlex): Wheat and Barley Genetics and Pathology; Genetic Mapping and Diversity in Plants and Animals; Genetics and Plant Breeding
TL;DR: Relatively few lines carry resistance alleles at all three loci, suggesting that there is a pre‐existing reservoir of enhanced stripe rust resistance that may be further exploited by regional breeding programs. (via Semantic Scholar)

Winn, Z. J., Acharya, R., Merrill, K., Lyerly, J., Brown-Guedira, G., Cambron, S., … Murphy, J. P. (2021, August 10). Theoretical and Applied Genetics, Vol. 8.

By: Z. Winn n, R. Acharya  n, K. Merrill n, J. Lyerly n, G. Brown-Guedira n , S. Cambron*, S. Harrison*, D. Reisig n , J. Murphy n

MeSH headings : Animals; Chromosome Mapping; Diptera; Genetic Linkage; Genotype; Herbivory; Larva; Models, Genetic; North Carolina; Phenotype; Plant Breeding; Quantitative Trait Loci; Triticum / genetics
topics (OpenAlex): Wheat and Barley Genetics and Pathology; Genetic Mapping and Diversity in Plants and Animals; Genetics and Plant Breeding
TL;DR: It is shown that field resistance is evident and controlled by a single locus on chromosome 7D, and a novel Hessian fly partial-resistance QTL is termed QHft.nc-7D. (via Semantic Scholar)

The Ghost of Outcrossing Past in Downy Brome, an Inbreeding Annual Grass

Meyer, S. E., Ghimire, S., Decker, S., Merrill, K. R., & Coleman, C. E. (2013, January 1). Journal of Heredity.

By: S. Meyer  n, S. Ghimire  n, S. Decker n, K. Merrill n & C. Coleman  n

author keywords: Bromus tectorum; cheatgrass; cleistogamy; selfing breeding system; single nucleotide polymorphic marker
MeSH headings : Bromus / genetics; Crosses, Genetic; Gardening; Genotype; Inbreeding / statistics & numerical data; Inheritance Patterns / genetics; Inheritance Patterns / physiology; Microsatellite Repeats / genetics; Phylogeny; Poaceae / genetics; Pollination / genetics; Pollination / physiology; Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide / physiology; Seasons; Self-Fertilization / genetics; Self-Fertilization / physiology
topics (OpenAlex): Genetic Mapping and Diversity in Plants and Animals; Genetic diversity and population structure; Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock
TL;DR: Strict inbreeding in some lineages within a population with occasional outcrossing in others may be related to positive selection on adaptive syndromes associated with specific inbreeding lineages, or possibly to among-lineage differences in genetic regulation of outCrossing.
