Breeding for sustainable oilseed crop yield and quality in a changing climate

Climate, peer-reviewed journal publication /

Authors: Ziv Attia, Cloe S. Pogoda, Stephan Reinert, Nolan C. Kane, and Brent S. Hulke Publication Date: January 26, 2021 Abstract: As the effects of climate change continue to alter crop-growing conditions year-to-year on both prime and marginal agricultural landscapes, we must consider the effects not only on yield but also on quality. This is

A Greenhouse Method to Evaluate Sunflower Quantitative Resistance to Basal Stalk Rot Caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum

peer-reviewed journal publication, Sunflower /

Authors: William Underwood, Christopher G. Misar, Charles Block, Thomas J. Gulya, Zahirul Talukder, Brent S. Hulke, and Samuel G. Markell Publication Date: December 2, 2020 Abstract: Resistance of sunflower to basal stalk rot (BSR) caused by the fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is quantitative, controlled by multiple genes contributing small effects. Consequently, artificial inoculation procedures allowing sufficient throughput and

Aberrant regulation of RNA splicing in sunflower hybrids may underlie intrinsic incompatibilities

peer-reviewed journal publication, Sunflower /

Authors: Chris C R Smith, Loren H Rieseberg, Brent S Hulke, Nolan C Kane Publication Date: September 8, 2020 Abstract: Alternative spicing is an integral part of gene expression in multicellular organisms that allows for diverse mRNA transcripts and proteins to be produced from a single gene. However, most existing analyses have focused on macro-evolution,

Registration of oilseed sunflower maintainer germplasm HA 489 with resistance to the banded sunflower moth

peer-reviewed journal publication, Sunflower /

Adam R. Wronski, Jarrad R. Prasifka, Michael S. Grove, Brady D. Koehler, Christopher G. Misar, William Underwood, Brent S. Hulke Abstract: The banded sunflower moth is one of the most pervasive insect pests of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) in North America, in large part due to its ability to overwinter in cold climates. The goal
