Backcrosses in interspecific hybridization in sunflower

Genetika, 2003
When incorporating desirable traits (resistance to causal agents of various diseases) from the wild relatives into the cultivated sunflower, some undesirable ones are introduced too (branching, small head diameter, low oil content, etc). To overcome this problem, backcrosses (F1 interspecific hybrids x cultivated sunflower) are used, although very ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Striking Immune Phenotypes in Gene-Targeted Mice Are Driven by a Copy-Number Variant Originating from a Commercially Available C57BL/6 Strain

Cell Reports, 2016
We describe a homozygous copy-number variant that disrupts the function of Dock2 in a commercially available C57BL/6 mouse strain that is widely used for backcrossing.

The segregation of Calb1, Calb2, and Prph neurons reveals distinct and mixed neuronal populations and projections to hair cells in the inner ear and central nuclei

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Three populations of hair cells have a distinct expression of Calb1 and Calb2. (A, A′D) The central is highly positive for Calb1 while surrounding HC are positive for Calb2. Later, a calyx forms primarily with Calb1. (B, B′, D′, D″) Saccule and utricle start out positive for Calb2 but will upregulate the Calb1 in the striola that is primarily forming ...

Experimental hybridization and backcrossing reveal forces of reproductive isolation in Microbotryum

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2013
BackgroundHybridization and reproductive isolation are central to the origin and maintenance of species, and especially for sympatric species, gene flow is often inhibited through barriers that depend upon mating compatibility factors.

Study of the influence of introgression from chromosome 2 of the A_t subgenome of cotton Gossypium barbadense L. during backcrossing with the original lines of G. hirsutum L

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции
The creation of chromosome substitution lines containing one pair of chromosomes from a related species is one method for introgression of alien genetic material.

Integrated analysis of mRNA and miRNA expression profiling in rice backcrossed progenies (BC2F12) with different plant height.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Inter-specific hybridization and backcrossing commonly occur in plants. The use of progeny generated from inter-specific hybridization and backcrossing has been developed as a novel model system to explore gene expression divergence.

International genetic, cytogenetic and germplasm resources for cotton genomics and genetic improvement [PDF]

, 2008
A general understanding of the nature, uses and need of cotton germplasm collections is important to maintaining support for them and their utilization. Such support is vital to addressing the future challenges and needs of cotton, which will be many and

Sequencing the transcriptome of R570 to explore the complexity of the sugarcane genome [W1019] [PDF]

, 2020
Sugarcane is a crop of unequivocal importance which can meet requirements for food, feed fiber and fuel. This crop, with a large wealth of genetic resources and a rich breeding history, has only a very nascent genomic history with a monoploid genome ...
