1. Combining ability of upland cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., with traits associated with sticky fiber

Author:
Hague, Steve S.; Gannaway, John R.; Boman, Randal K.

Subject:
Gossypium hirsutum; cotton; lint cotton; carbohydrate content; glucose; sucrose; fiber quality; sugar content; general combining ability; specific combining ability; genotype; lines; line differences
Abstract:
... Sticky cotton causes severe processing problems at textile mills and can be caused by plant sugars deposited directly from the plant to the lint in the absence of insects. A partial diallel design was used to investigate the combining ability of six upland cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., genotypes in Lubbock, Texas. Sucrose and glucose on fibers were measured as well as more mechanical fiber proper ...

Festuca; Lolium perenne; intergeneric hybridization; plant breeding; crossing; drought tolerance; water stress; soil water content; leaf development; root growth; leaf water potential; genotype
Abstract:
... Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) has good turf quality but low drought tolerance. Atlas fescue (Festuca mairei) has exceptional drought tolerance but poor turf quality. Intergeneric hybridization between the two grasses would have the potential to develop a plant combining the important turf traits of perennial ryegrass and the improved drought tolerance of Atlas fescue. The objectives of th ...

Subject:
Eragrostis tef; grain crops; grain yield; plant breeding; hybrids; genetic variation; genetic improvement; genotype; yield components; inflorescences; heritability
Abstract:
... Tef is a staple cereal of Ethiopia in high demand by consumers. In order to cope up with this high consumer demand, productivity per unit of land must increase through the development and use of high-yielding varieties. To this effect, the National Tef Research Project has long been striving towards the development of high yielding varieties through direct selection from germplasm and concentratin ...

Subject:
Arachis hypogaea; peanuts; genotype-environment interaction; crop yield; disease resistance; leaf spotting; Cercospora; Cercosporidium; genotype; cultivars; breeding lines; savannas; Ghana
Abstract:
... Capitalizing on the yield potential in available groundnut germplasm, and high stability of kernel yield are important requirements for groundnut producers in semiarid environments. Forty-seven groundnut genotypes were evaluated from 2003 to 2005 at 4 locations representative of the Guinea and Sudan savanna ecologies in Ghana. The objectives were to assess genotypic differences in reaction to earl ...

Subject:
Musa; bananas; genotype; diploidy; pollen; plant fertility; varieties; gametogenesis; seed set
Abstract:
... The quantity and quality of pollen produced by a genotype are important attributes to be considered in the selection of male parents for breeding. The objective of this research was to determine the quantity and quality of pollen in 13 selected East African Highland bananas (EAHB) in relation to six diploids commonly used as male parents. Pollen quantity was scored on a scale of 0-6 while the vari ...
