Calluna vulgaris; aneuploidy; breeding; chromosomes; flowers; genotype; germ cells; phenotypic variation; progeny; tetraploidy; triploidy
Abstract:
... Calluna vulgaris is an important landscaping plant in Northern Europe. As C. vulgaris is the only species within the genus Calluna, the available gene-pool for breeding is rather narrow and phenotypic variation is limited. Hence, a breeding program for polyploids was set up in order to broaden phenotypic variation in this important ornamental crop. Therefor basic genetic characteristics of polyplo ...

Abstract:
... Improved postharvest quality is an important goal for fresh-market raspberry breeding programs. To determine if warm or cold storage following harvest would better facilitate the breeding selection process for the assessment of postharvest decay and juice leakage, pesticide-free fruit from cultivars and breeding selections of red, yellow, purple, and black raspberries were stored at two temperatur ...

Abstract:
... This work reports a gene pyramiding approach assisted by DNA markers used to develop “carioca” seeded common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) elite lines harboring three different rust resistance genes. Rust is among the most destructive diseases that attack P. vulgaris and cause serious damage worldwide. The rust resistance genes Ur-5 (from ‘Mexico 309’), Ur-11 (from ‘BelMiDak RR-3’), and Ur-14 (from ...

To identify heat tolerant material, 120 tall fescue accessions from different regions of the world were collected and subjected to high temperature under the greenhouse and the growth chamber conditions. Average temperature was 43 °C i ...

Frankliniella occidentalis; agronomic traits; breeding lines; correlation; cotton; cottonseed; cultivars; genetic variation; genotype; germplasm; gossypol; growing season; heritability; insect pests; monogastric livestock; toxicity
Abstract:
... Glandless cotton can be grown for cottonseed free of toxic gossypol to be used as food and feed for non-ruminant animals. However, one of the most important limiting factors preventing its commercial production is its higher insect damage than conventional glanded cotton. Thrips is the one of the most important insect pests in the early growing season that may cause yield losses. In this study, 28 ...

To investigate the pattern of inheritance of this trait in Brassica rapa, F₁, F₂and backcross (BC) populations were constructed by crossing 09N-742, a pak-choi inbred line that has purple leaves, with a green-leaved Chinese cabbage inbred line, 09-680. Using a segregating F₂population, we identified a single do ...

Abstract:
... Indian mustard (Brassica juncea (L) Czern & Coss) is naturally indeterminate. Plants with determinate inflorescence were first discovered in the self progenies of B. juncea (AABB; 2n = 36), resynthesized by combining A-genome from B. napus (AACC; 2n = 38) and B-genome from B. carinata (BBCC; 2n = 34). In the determinate plants, apical meristems were transformed into pods. In contrast, the inflores ...
