SuperSour: A New Strategy for Breeding Superior Citrus Rootstocks

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Citrus crops have a long history of cultivation as grafted trees on selected rootstock cultivars, but all current rootstocks have significant limitations and traditional methods of rootstock breeding take at least 2–3 decades to develop and field test ...

Inbreeding depression in Solanum carolinense (Solanaceae), a species with a plastic self-incompatibility response [PDF]

, 2008
Background Solanum carolinense (horsenettle) is a highly successful weed with a gametophytic self-incompatibility (SI) system. Previous studies reveal that the strength of SI in S. carolinense is a plastic trait, associated with particular S-alleles. The

Genetic Parameters in Progeny-Test Selection for Field Performance of Strain-Cross Layers

Poultry Science, 1977
Abstract Heritabilities, genetic and phenotypic correlations and sire × location interaction were estimated for 14 traits from hierarchial covariance analysis within each of four 5-week hatching periods in 9 years. Numbers averaged 93 sires, each with 61 pullets from 11 or 12 dams of two lines distributed among 5 to 14 single-cage field locations, in
