ABSTRACT Silique number is an important yield trait in rapeseed. Identifying the genetic loci and analyzing the molecular mechanism of this trait are of great significance for increasing rapeseed yield. In this study, we conducted a quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis for silique number using a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population, and detected ...

Genome-Wide Transcriptional Analysis of Yield and Heterosis-Associated Genes in Maize (Zea mays L.)
: Heterosis has contributed greatly to yield in maize, but the nature of its contribution is not completely clear. In this study, two strategies using whole-genome oligonucleotide microarrays were employed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs)

Potato dihaploids uncover diverse alleles to facilitate diploid potato breeding
Abstract Commercial potato (Solanum tuberosum) in North America is a clonal autotetraploid crop, which complicates breeding. Efforts are underway to convert potato to a diploid inbred‐hybrid crop, allowing breeders to more quickly meet market and environmental demands.

Analysis of reproductive performances during the formation of a synthetic rabbit strain
[EN] In 1995, a synthetic rabbit strain ('2666') was formed at INRA for commercial meat purposesby crossing the INRA '2066' strain and the 'V' strain from the Polytechnical University of Valencia (Spain).The development of some reproductive traits and ...

The objective of this study was to evaluate body development, growth performance, ingestive behavior, and physiological responses of Nelore and crossbred calves during the cow‐calf phase. Thirty beef calves were divided into four groups according to their genotype: Nelore (NE; eight animals), Nelore × Senepol (NS; eight animals), Nelore × Montana (NM ...

Heterotic Models of Aggregate Demand [PDF]
A common theme in the theory of demand aggregation is that market demand can acquire properties which are not always individually present among the agents who make up that market, a phenomenon we call heterosis in this paper.

Coppice potential of 16 different species of Eucalyptus after an eight-year rotation [PDF]
The adoption of coppice is a commonly used management in different regions of Brazil for plantations of Eucalyptus, which requires less investments. However, there are variations in the ability of each genotype to emit sprouts, and higher yields can be ...

ABSTRACT Use of molecular markers has improved the analysis of genetic variation by eliminating environmental influences on genotype performance. The objective of this study was to assess the genetic diversity (GD) and population structure of 327 sweetpotato genotypes sourced from the major sweetpotato‐growing regions of Zimbabwe and from the ...

Identification of QTLs for Starch Content in Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.)
Sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) breeding is challenging due to its genetic complexity. In the present study, interval mapping (IM) and multiple quantitative trait locus (QTL) model (MQM) analysis were used to identify QTLs for starch content with
