Abstract:
... The molecular marker technology has been used on mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with plant resistance. The objectives of this research were to estimate genetic parameters and to map genomic regions involved in the resistance to gray leaf spot in maize. Ninety F₃ families from the BS03 (susceptible) and BS04 (resistant) cross were used. Field trials were performed using a 10 x ...

Abstract:
... The Passiflora L. (Passifloraceae) genus consists of about 500 species widely distributed throughout tropical and subtropical regions, commonly known as the passion flower. The passion flowers are considered ornamental plants because of the exotic beauty of their flowers and variant foliage. Since their introduction to the Old World, around 1625, seventeenth century, they have been used to decorat ...
