Drought is a major constraint of common bean ( L.) production in Uganda where irrigation for the crop is very uncommon. This study aimed to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) underlying drought tolerance in 128 F5 RILs derived from an Andean intra-gene cross between drought-tolerant SEQ 1027 and BRB 191. Eighteen traits were evaluated under drought stress and non-stress conditions in the field for 2 years and in the greenhouse for 1 year, respectively. A linkage map spanning 486.29 cM was constructed using 53 single nucleotide polymorphic markers (SNP) markers obtained from the KASP genotyping assay. Eleven consistent QTLs were detected on five linkage groups at a threshold of Logarithm of Odds (LOD) ≥ 3.0. Four QTLs were constitutive, seven were adaptive and were associated with 100 seed weight, grain yield, chlorophyll content, harvest index, dry weight of leaf and stem biomass and yield production efficiency. The QTL associated with a 100 seed weight ( ) was the most consistent with the highest percentage of variation explained (21%). Co-localization of five drought-related factors QTLs was detected on pv10 suggesting pleiotropic effects on this chromosome. Identification of molecular markers closely linked to the QTLs identified in this study will facilitate marker assisted breeding for drought tolerance.

High non-photochemical quenching of VPZ transgenic potato plants limits CO assimilation under high light conditions and reduces tuber yield under fluctuating light.

Under natural conditions, photosynthesis has to be adjusted to fluctuating light intensities. Leaves exposed to high light dissipate excess light energy in form of heat at photosystem II (PSII) by a process called non-photochemical quenching (NPQ). Upon fast transition from light to shade, plants lose light energy by a relatively slow relaxation from photoprotection. Read More

Identifying high-yield genotypes under low water availability is essential for soybean climate-smart breeding. However, a major bottleneck lies in phenotyping, particularly in selecting cost-efficient markers associated with stress tolerance and yield stabilization. Here, we conducted in-depth phenotyping experiments in two soybean genotypes with contrasting drought tolerance, MUNASQA (tolerant) and TJ2049 (susceptible), to better understand soybean stress physiology and identify/statistically validate drought-tolerance and yield-stabilization traits as potential breeding markers.

SAUR (small auxin-up RNA) is an early auxin-responsive gene. In this study, a novel SAUR gene PtSAUR8 was cloned from poplar (Populus trichocarpa), and subcellular location analysis showed that it is targeted to the nuclear membrane. In addition, PtSAUR8 overexpression in Arabidopsis improved the plant resistance to drought stress. Read More
