Developing capabilities in the seed industry: which direction to follow? [PDF]

, 2014
Since the 1990s, many developing country policy makers have assumed that plant genetic engineering represents the only technological frontier in seed innovation; that it has been the leading technology for improving seeds and agricultural performance in ...

Phenotypic diversity for agro-morphological traits in pigeon pea landraces [(Cajanus cajan L.) Millsp.] cultivated in southern Benin

Open Agriculture, 2019
Pigeon pea is an important but unfortunately neglected grain legume crop in Benin. In this study, the phenotypic diversity in 84 landraces from Benin and four advanced varieties were evaluated at two locations during two consecutive rainy seasons. Twelve

Self-adaptation of Genetic Operators Through Genetic Programming Techniques

, 2017
Here we propose an evolutionary algorithm that self modifies its operators at the same time that candidate solutions are evolved. This tackles convergence and lack of diversity issues, leading to better solutions.

Yam (Dioscorea rotundata Poir.) Displays Prezygotic and Postzygotic Barriers to Prevent Autogamy in Monoecious Cultivars

Agronomy, 2022
Cultivated yam (D. rotundata) is a staple tuber crop in West Africa whose sexual reproduction control remains largely unknown despite its importance for plant breeding programs. In this paper, we compared self-pollination, intracultivar cross-pollination

The Effect of Cd, Zn and Fe on Seed Germination and Early Seedling Growth of Wheat and Bean

Ekológia (Bratislava), 2016
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of metals on wheat and bean species. The method uses seed germination and early seedling growth of these plants in the presence of various levels (10, 50, 100, 250, 500, 750 and 1000 mg/L) of Cadmium (Cd ...

Isolating the Mutator Transposable Element Insertional Mutant Gene mio16 of Maize Using Double Selected Amplification of Insertion Flanking Fragments (DSAIFF)

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2012
Mutator transposable element (Mu) has been used as an effective tool to clone maize (Zea mays L.) genes. One opaque endosperm mutant (mio16) was identified in a pool of Mu inserted mutants.
