- Abstract:
- ... Fruit shape is a critical appearance quality in apple. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for apple fruit shape index (FSI) traits were previously mapped by our laboratory to linkage group 11 of the maternal parent in a cross population of ‘Jonathan’ × ‘Golden Delicious’ using simple sequence repeat markers. In this study, QTLs for fruit length, diameter, and FSI were identified again using a high-den ...

- Abstract:
- ... Photoperiod and/or temperature-sensitive male sterility is an economically effective pollination control system for hybrid crops production. This study reports some characteristics of a temperature-sensitive genic male sterile (TGMS) in Brassica napus line, SP2S, which is a spontaneous mutation found in 2007. The fertility alteration in response to temperature was investigated under controlled env ...

In spite of the absence of evidence of effects caused by the gene stacking by hybridization in transgenic plants, additional studies have been required by the Regulatory Agencies as a condition for the approval of t ...

The reciprocal crosses of octoploid pink-flowered strawberry cv. ‘Pink Princess’ (2n = 8x = 56) and synthetic white-flowered dodecaploid individual ‘YH15-10’ (2n = 12x = 84) were performed to create high polyploidy pink-flowered strawberries with improved cold tolerance. Among the 246 hybrids derived from the cross of Pink Princess (8x) × YH15-10 (12x), 30 randomly selected hybrids were examined i ...

- Abstract:
- ... Erycina pusilla is considered a potential model organism for orchids, because of several advantageous features, such as short juvenile period, low chromosome number and all year round blooming. Two different chromosome numbers (2n = 10 and 2n = 12) are reported for E. pusilla, which suggests two cytotypes. To reveal the genome homology between these two cytotypes, we generated hybrids from the int ...

- Abstract:

Nsa CMS results in defective pollen production due to S. arvensis mitochondrial gene failure/incompatibility in the anthers, requiring nuclear genes to restore fertility. From ultramicroscopic observation of anther sections, we concluded that the induction of sterility begi ...

- ... Root knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are significant agricultural pests on many crops, including pepper (Capsicum annuum). Host plant resistance offers the most sustainable means of controlling this pest. A cluster of genes on chromosome 9 confers resistance, with Me1 providing protection against three nematode species: M. incognita, M. javanica and M. arenaria. We describe the development of a ...

Sweet corn is one of the most popular vegetables and important vitamin E resource for human. In this study, one common corn line with favorable allele on the InDel7 (deletion) and InDel118 (deletion) sites in the locus of ZmVTE4 (SY999) was introduced as the donor parent li ...

- Abstract:

In a recent host range study, we found that the parents of those mapping populations also differed in their resistance to the crown rust Puccinia coronata (PcE) of couch grass (Elymus repens), as well as three isolates of P. st ...

The only disease management tool used is resistant varieties. In the last 30 years, “Rizor” and “Holly” (Rz1) resistances have been the most widely used. Despite the lack of information, a common origin for both types of resistance wa ...

Pepino (Solanum muricatum) is an increasingly important vegetatively propagated vegetable crop for which concurrent data on morphological descriptors and molecular markers are not available. We evaluated 58 morphological traits, using a ...
