Breeding strategies and breeding plans
1994Abstract The tree breeder’s work program to achieve a supply of genetically improved planting stock consists of many activities, most of them seasonal: collecting seed, running a nursery, making grafts and cuttings, planting and measuring progeny tests, statistical analysis, interpreting results, preparing budgets and plans for future ...

Breeding Strategies for Triticale
1996A long-standing scientific vision -- the dream of combining in one and the same plant, the yield potential and grain quality of wheat with the rusticity of rye -- is materializing as triticale becomes an established economic crop. The ability of scientists world-wide to shape food supply strategies is being reduced, as the interactions between farmers ...

CHAPTER 3. Breeding Strategies
2019This chapter discusses botanical and genetic aspects relevant to the main cultivated Coffea species for coffee production, fruit development and cup quality, which lead to breeding strategies. We discuss the importance to protect natural genetic resources in ex situ collections, and describe several known wild-type varieties and their use by breeding ...

2019
Pear breeding is considered as one of the most important sectors of temperate fruit breeding. While this follows breeding efforts for apple, new technologies and approaches are awaiting pear breeders on the horizon. New plant breeding techniques, tested for their efficacy in other fruit trees, as well as conventional methods will be presented in this ...

Breeding Considerations and Strategies
2010Plant breeding for water limited environments is rarely performed as a separate program. In most cases it is part of a mainstream breeding program which is designed to release a cultivar appropriate to a designated ideotype and customer demand. The ideotype includes various specifications regarding morphological, developmental, phenotypic, biotic and ...

Trends in Plant Breeding Strategies
EPPO Bulletin, 1980Past developments in breeding plants for resistance are reviewed and the continuing need and potential for increasing resistance, especially in cases where other control methods were not available, are emphasized. There has not generally been any great increase in the resources allocated to resistance breeding and much more could be done.

Breeding Strategies in Foxtail Millet
2017Foxtail millet is a highly self-pollinated crop, and the small delicate flowers make hybridization and crossing difficult. Progress in crop improvement of foxtail millet has been achieved chiefly through pedigree selection in many parts of the globe. China has been pioneering in developing male sterile lines and yield gains through heterosis. Many male

Non-breeding Mapping Strategies
1995Abstract In 1988, Amheim and his colleagues (Li et al., 1988) reported the extraordinary finding that unique DNA sequences could be amplified from isolated sperm cells. Amplification from the single DNA target locus that is present in haploid sperm cells represents the theoretical limit in sensitivity that is possible with the ...
