Abstract:
... An investigation was conducted to determine the nature of genetic effects in segregating populations produced by crossing selected progenitor species-derived tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) lines to the tobacco cultivar used in the original interspecific hybridization. Two genetically stable tobacco lines developed from interspecific crosses of N. tabacum ✕ N. sylvestris Speg. and Comes and N. taba ...

Abstract:
... Total alkaloids (predominately nicotine) are important constitutents in flue-cured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.). Due to varying nicotine levels in cigarettes, it is of interest to see what effect varying alkaloid levels in tobacco have on certain agronomic and chemical characteristics of the cured leaf. Experiments were conducted at two locations to develop lines of flue-cured tobacco with diffe ...

Wide-based crosses within C. sativus [i.e., C. sativus var. sativus x C. sativus var. hardwickii (R.) Alef.] and interspecific hybridization attempts before 1995 have not substantially increased genetic diversity for plant improvement. However, in 1995, an amphidiploid (Cucumis hytivus Chen ...

... Bacterial grain rot (BGR), caused by the bacterial pathogen Burkholderia glumae, is a destructive disease of rice. At anthesis, rice panicles are attacked by the pathogen, and the infection causes unfilled or aborted grains, reducing grain yield and quality. Thus, increasing the level of BGR resistance is an important objective for rice breeding. A quantitative trait locus (QTL) on rice chromosome ...

Climate change has a negative effect on crop production and food security. Understanding the genetic mechanism of heat tolerance and developing heat-tolerant varieties is essential to cope with future global warming. Previously, ...

Abstract:
... Water stress is a major abiotic stress limiting the rice production and yield stability in rainfed conditions and getting worse with the predicted global climatic change. A Backcross inbred line (BIL) population derived from Swarna/WAB 450-I-B-P-157-2-1 was screened for grain yield under reproductive stage drought stress and irrigated conditions during DS2013, WS2012 and DS2012. A major qDTY3.2 wi ...

Abstract:
... Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is a major cucurbit vegetable species whose genetic base has been drastically reduced during its domestication. The crop's narrow genetic base (3-12% DNA polymorphism) has resulted from the use of limited genetic material and intense selection during plant improvement. Recently, however, interspecific hybridization has been successful in Cucumis via mating of C. hystr ...

Fusion experiments were performed between diploid (2n = 2x = 24) or tetraploid (2n = 4x = 48) potato genotypes and four species of the Solanum nigrum complex, namely S. nigrum (2n = 6x = 72), S. villosum (2n = 4x = 48), S. chenopodioides (2n = 2x = 24) or S. americanum (2n = 2x = 24 and 2n = 6x = 72). All five accessions of the S. nigrum-species were successfully hybridized with at least one of th ...

Abstract:
... In the cultivated forms of the genus Cynara, genetic male sterility was recorded only in globe artichoke (var. scolymus). Depending on the plant material used, its inheritance is controlled by up to three independent loci (ms1ms1ms2ms2ms3ms3), where the male sterile (MS) plants are recessive for all loci involved. In order to access the effect of these loci in a var. altilis background, a backcros ...

Abstract:
... Cattails (Typha spp.) in northeastern North American wetlands are increasingly dominant, partly because of hybridization between Typha latifolia and Typha angustifolia which results in the widespread and successful hybrid T.×glauca. Both parental species are protogynous, and previous studies have shown that T. angustifolia flowers earlier than T. latifolia. Nevertheless, experimental studies have ...

Abstract:
... Natural hybridization is of marked importance from global to local biological diversity. In mangroves, species ranges overlap extensively with one another and species share a long overlap of flowering time. Although hybridization has been suggested, patterns of hybridization and the evolutionary potential of hybrids are not yet fully understood. This study provides molecular evidence for the paren ...

Crossing, backcrossing and molecular marker assisted background selection produced a soybean (Glycine max) near isogenic line (cgy-2NIL) containing cgy-2 allele, which is responsible for the absence of allergen α-subunit of ß-conglycinin. To identify α-null-related transcriptional changes, the gene expressions of ‘cgy-2NIL’and its recurrent parent ‘DN47’ were compared using Illumina high-throughpu ...

Abstract:
... The Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility and fertility restoring (cms/Rf) system is one of the most promising hybrid systems in Brassica species. The Ogura cms has been introduced earlier into spring turnip rape (Brassica rapa L.) and the sterility has been stable. To enable the production of F1 hybrids in turnip rape, the Kosena fertility restoring gene (Rfk1), a homologue of the Ogura fertility rest ...

Poverty and food insecurity are concomitant problems in these heavily populated areas, because of the high risks and the lack of high-yielding, flood-tolerant varieties. Rice landraces that can withstand over 2 weeks of complete submergence were identified a ...

As these gradients directly alter flowering phenology, they can affect pollen-mediated gene flow among populations of single and related species. In northern Japan, we found a hybrid zone dominated by fertile F₁s of two alpine shrub species, Phy ...

The duration necessary to complete such 'trait conversions' is largely dependent upon generation times. Constitutive overexpression of the Arabidopsis thaliana gene FT (FLOWERING LOCUS T) induces early-flowering in many plants. Here, we used tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) as a model sy ...
