Abstract:
... Zea mays ssp. parviglumis is the progenitor of maize and assume to have tolerance against various biotic and abiotic stresses. It grows without human intervention in Southern Mexico at the bank of Balsas river and maintains sufficient genetic diversity that can help in maize diversification and domestication of wild alleles. To develop the uniform near to homozygous line the maize inbred parent DI ...

Abstract:
... Interspecific hybridization with ‘Satputia’ (bisexual and cluster bearing) can be highly useful for the introgression of cluster bearing, high yield and gynoecism in sponge gourd (monoecious and solitary bearing). However, the occurrence of self-pollination in closed flowers and anthesis of two species at different time intervals creates hindrance in interspecific hybridization. The present invest ...

Abstract:
... Maples are common street and shade trees throughout the temperate zone. They are widely used for their wide range of ornamental traits and adaptability, particularly to urban settings. Unfortunately, some species such as Acer tataricum ssp. ginnala (Amur maple) and A. platanoides (Norway maple) have escaped cultivation to become pests or in some cases threaten native flora. However, these species ...
