Hematophagous insects of the subfamily Triatominae include several species with a large variety of shapes, behavior and distribution. They have great epidemiological importance since most of them transmit the flagellated protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, the ...

Haplotyping a quantitative trait with a high-density map in experimental crosses. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The ultimate goal of genetic mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL) is the positional cloning of genes involved in any agriculturally or medically important phenotype.

COMPARISON AMONG THE FOUR METHODS OF GRIFFING (1956) IN COMPLETE DIALLEL SET OF MAIZE INBRED [PDF]
Complete diallel set of 7 inbred, 21 single crosses and 21 reciprocal crosses were used for this study. The four methods of Griffing 1956 computed to obtain general combaining ability (G.C.A),spicific combining ability (S.C.A) and reciprocal effects ...

Genomic and environmental selection patterns in two distinct lettuce crop-wild hybrid crosses [PDF]
Genomic selection patterns and hybrid performance influence the chance that crop (trans)genes can spread to wild relatives. We measured fitness(-related) traits in two different field environments employing two different crop–wild crosses of lettuce.

Maize (Zea mays L.) elite inbred lines developed from pedigree programs tend to be genetically related. Therefore, it is necessary to incorporate unrelated inbreds to those programs to allow the continued release of outstanding single-crosses.
