Abstract:
... The analysis of genetic correlations between fiber length (Len), strength (Str), micronaire, and 12 other traits was conducted using the additive (A)-dominance (D) genetic model, which considers genotype × environment interaction effects, in intraspecific upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) hybrids to effectively improve the quality of cotton cultivars in high planting density cases. Decision-ma ...

Abstract:
... Within-boll yield components are the most basic contributors to lint and seed yield of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.), which is a major source of natural fiber and edible oil throughout the world. Little information is available on genetic effects and heterosis of these traits in cotton. Three cotton cultivars and six breeding lines differing in within-boll yield components were used for this stud ...

Abstract:
... Interest in vine cacti of the genus Hylocereus (Cactaceae) has grown markedly due to their high economic potential as exotic fruit crops. Thus, we investigate the genomic and genetic characteristics of 18 accessions belonging to three Hylocereus species, from which were produced eight progeny from self-pollination and 51 interspecific-homoploid and -interploid hybrids. We reported ploidy estimatio ...

Abstract:
... Iron-deficiency chlorosis (IDC) is an important agronomic trait when soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) is planted on calcareous soil. Breeders need confirmation that marker-QTL (quantitative trait loci) associations developed using association mapping, will be effective in a different set of genotypes than the ones used to identify those markers. Marker-QTL associations that had previously been ide ...

Abstract:
... European red clover (Trifolium pratense) crops are challenged by clover rot, a devastating disease caused by Sclerotinia trifoliorum or, in some cases by S. sclerotiorum. No completely resistant cultivars are available and resistance breeding is hampered by the lack of knowledge on the number of involved resistance genes and the heritability of clover rot resistance. In this study, we estimated th ...

Abstract:
... Tung tree, Vernicia fordii, is an oil-producing plant with multiple uses, especially with its great potential in biodiesel production. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) providing an abundant source of DNA polymorphisms, is essential for developing new cultivars with high yield, good quality, and wide adaptation. However, there are a few reports about the DNA sequence variation in tung tree, esp ...

Abstract:
... Breeding for resistant genotypes is the best strategy to offset the destructive effects of cassava mosaic disease (CMD) and cassava bacterial blight (CBB). Two sets of diallel parents were selected for the forest and the savannah ecological zones in Ghana based on good levels of resistance to CMD and CBB. Both sets were crossed in a half-diallel design. The first set of seven progenitors and their ...
