Quantitative Trait Loci for Component Physiological Traits Determining Salt Tolerance in Rice
TL;DR: Based upon knowledge of the underlying mechanisms of ion uptake in rice, it is argued that QTL for sodium transport are likely to act through the control of root development, whereasQTL for potassium uptake arelikely to actthrough the structure or regulation of membrane-sited transport components.

Temporal trends in the diversity of UK wheat
TL;DR: It was shown that an overwhelming proportion of the overall observed variance occurred within, rather than between, decades, and that the most modern group of varieties encompassed the majority of the diversity found in earlier decades.

Quantification of the tissue-culture induced variation in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.).
TL;DR: An AFLP based approach is developed that is capable of describing the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the tissue culture-induced variation, since non-heritable variation is of little interest for the improvement of plant species which are sexually propagated.
RFLP mapping of genes affecting plant height and growth habit in rye.
TL;DR: RFLP mapping of chromosome 5R in the F3 generation of a rye cross segregating for gibberellic acid (GA3)-insensitive dwarfness and spring growth habit identified RFLP loci close to each of these agronomically important genes.

DNA profiling and plant variety registration. III: The statistical assessment of distinctness in wheat using amplified fragment length polymorphisms
TL;DR: Statistical approaches to the analysis of the data were developed such that the discrimination between the varieties achieved by the use of the six primer pairs could be derived and compared to that achieved by a common set of morphological descriptors.
