Adaptation of Grass Pea (Lathyrus sativus) to Mediterranean Environments
Rubiales Olmedo, Diego
; Emeran, Amero; Flores Gil, Fernando (MDPI, 2020-09)
Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) is an annual legume crop widely cultivated in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, but in regression in Mediterranean region. Its rusticity and nutritious value is calling back attention for ... -
Adaptation of One-Flowered Vetch (Vicia articulata Hornem.) to Mediterranean Rain Fed Conditions
Rubiales Olmedo, Diego; Flores Gil, Fernando (MDPI, 2020-03)
One-flower vetch (Vicia articulata) was widely cultivated in the Mediterranean Basin in the past but is currently underutilized. Valuable germplasm collections are stored in genebanks, which are poorly characterized. In ... -
Agronomic Performance of Broomrape Resistant and Susceptible Faba Bean Accession
Rubiales Olmedo, Diego; Moral, Ana; Flores Gil, Fernando (MDPI, 2022-06)
The faba bean (Vicia faba) is a temperate grain legume, that is regaining interest due to the high demand for food and feed uses and the environmental services provided. The parasitic weed broomrape (Orobanche crenata) ... -
Broomrape as a Major Constraint for Grass Pea (Lathyrus sativus) Production in Mediterranean Rain-Fed Environments
Rubiales Olmedo, Diego; Barilli, Eleonora; Flores Gil, Fernando (MDPI, 2020-12)
Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus) is an annual legume crop that is currently underutilized but has the potential for reintroduction into Mediterranean rain-fed farming systems. In this study, we compared the adaptation of ... -
Deciphering Main Climate and Edaphic Components Driving Oat Adaptation to Mediterranean Environments
Canales, Francisco J.; Montilla Bascón, Gracia; Gallego Sánchez, Luis Miguel; Flores Gil, Fernando; Rispail, Nicolas; Prats, Elena (Frontiers Media, 2021-11)
Oat, Avena sativa, is an important crop traditionally grown in cool-temperate regions. However, its cultivated area in the Mediterranean rim steadily increased during the last 20 years due to its good adaptation to a ... -
Design and sampling plan optimization for RT-qPCR experiments in plants : a case study in blueberry
Die, Jose V.; Román, Belén; Flores Gil, Fernando; Rowland, Lisa Jeannine (Frontiers Media, 2016)
The qPCR assay has become a routine technology in plant biotechnology and agricultural research. It is unlikely to be technically improved, but there are still challenges which center around minimizing the variability in ... -
Differences in crenate broomrape parasitism dynamics on three legume crops using a thermal time model
Pérez de Luque, Alejandro; Flores Gil, Fernando; Rubiales Olmedo, Diego (Frontiers Media, 2016)
Root parasitic weeds are a major limiting production factor in a number of crops, and control is difficult. Genetic resistance and chemical control lead the fight, but without unequivocal success. Models that help to ... -
The Effect of "Orobanche crenata" infection severity in faba bean, field pea, and grass pea productivity
Fernández Aparicio, Mónica; Flores Gil, Fernando; Rubiales Olmedo, Diego (Frontiers Media, 2016)
Broomrape weeds (Orobanche and Phelipanche spp.) are root holoparasites that feed off a wide range of important crops. Among them, Orobanche crenata attacks legumes complicating their inclusion in cropping systems along ... -
Genome-Wide Association Analysis for Stem Cross Section Properties, Height and Heading Date in a Collection of Spanish Durum Wheat Landraces
Ávila, Carmen M.; Requena Ramírez, María Dolores; Rodríguez Suárez, Cristina; Flores Gil, Fernando; Sillero, Josefina C.; Atienza, Sergio G. (MDPI, 2021-06)
Durum wheat landraces have a high potential for breeding but they remain underexploited due to several factors, including the insufficient evaluation of these plant materials and the lack of efficient selection tools for ... -
Genotype and environment effects on sensory, nutritional, and physical traits in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Cobos, Maria J.; Izquierdo, Inmaculada; Sanz, Miguel A.; Flores Gil, Fernando (Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2016-12)
The development of chickpea cultivars with high quality grains for human consumption is an important objective in breeding programs. Genotype and environment effects on seed quality traits (sensorial, nutritional and ... -
Heat Waves and Broomrape Are the Major Constraints for Lentil Cultivation in Southern Spain
Rubiales Olmedo, Diego; Moral, Ana; Flores Gil, Fernando (MDPI, 2021)
There is potential for expanding lentil cultivation to dry and warm Mediterranean rain-fed environments at low altitudes, where early sowings are recommended to profit from winter rains and escape drought and excessive ... -
Marker-Trait Associations for Total Carotenoid Content and Individual Carotenoids in Durum Wheat Identified by Genome-Wide Association Analysis
Requena Ramírez, María Dolores; Rodríguez Suárez, Cristina; Flores Gil, Fernando; Hornero Méndez, Dámaso; Atienza, Sergio G. (MDPI, 2022-08-07)
Yellow pigment content is one of the main traits considered for grain quality in durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L.). The yellow color is mostly determined by carotenoid pigments, lutein being the most abundant in wheat ... -
Multi-Environmental Trials Reveal Genetic Plasticity of Oat Agronomic Traits Associated With Climate Variable Changes
Rispail, Nicolas; Montilla Bascón, Gracia; Sánchez Martín, Javier; Flores Gil, Fernando; Howarth, Catherine Jane; Langdon, Tim; Rubiales Olmedo, Diego; Prats, Elena (Frontiers Media, 2018)
Although oat cultivation around the Mediterranean basin is steadily increasing, its yield in these regions lags far behind those of Northern Europe. This results mainly from the poor adaptation of current oat cultivars to ... -
Pea Breeding Lines Adapted to Autumn Sowings in Broomrape Prone Mediterranean Environments
Rubiales Olmedo, Diego; Osuna Caballero, Salvador; González Bernal, María J.; Cobos, Maria J.; Flores Gil, Fernando (MDPI, 2021-04)
In Mediterranean environments, with mild winters and dry summers, peas are planted in autumn or early winter to profit from winter rain and to avoid terminal drought and high summer temperatures. The root parasitic weed ... -
Performance of Winter-Sown Chickpea Breeding Lines with Contrasting Levels of Resistance to Ascochyta Blight
Rubiales Olmedo, Diego; Moral, Ana; Flores Gil, Fernando (MDPI, 2022-09)
Multi-environment field testing of chickpea accessions winter sown in Southern Spain showed that environmental effects on yield were more important than genotypic effects and GEI. The most detrimental factor on grain yield ... -
Short communication. Genotype × environment interaction analysis in two chickpea RIL populations
Carreras, J.; Rubio, J.; Flores Gil, Fernando; Millán, T.; Gil, J. (Instituto Nacional de Investigación y Tecnología Agraria y Alimentaria (INIA), 2013)
In order to introduce new chickpea germplasm in Argentina, two recombinant inbred line (RIL) populations F6:7 of twenty lines, each one derived from crosses between kabuli and desi types, were evaluated for yield components ...
