Comparing Cold Tolerance of sorghum (S. bicolor) A1 and A2 Cytoplasm‐Based Hybrids
ABSTRACT Systematic exploitation of heterosis via breeding of F1 hybrids is a major contributor to genetic gain in many major crops, including sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench). Different cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) systems have been identified for controlled F1 hybrid seed production in sorghum, with the so‐called A1 and A2 CMS systems being ...

Milk production and survival of spring-calving carryover cows in New Zealand dairy herds : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Animal Science at Massey University, Manawatu, New Zealand [PDF]
Non-pregnant cows are generally culled from dairy herds and replaced with two-year-old heifers. Alternatively, non-pregnant cows can be dried-off at the end of lactation, retained for one year (carried over), before being mated and returned to a milking ...

Values of heterosis and combining ability for seven traits were estimated in a 6 × 6 diallel population by using Method 4 of Griffing type analysis. High heterosis was found for the harvest index and yield in the cross Orsa × Ak 702. which had the best specific combining ability. In crosses involving Orso and Ak 702, Orso reduced the plant height while

Additive Variance and Open‐Pollinated Progenies Under Mixed Mating
ABSTRACT Open‐pollinated progeny tests are still widely interpreted as if all the individuals within a maternal family were true half‐sibs. However, in species with mixed mating systems, this assumption is often biologically unrealistic and may bias the estimation of the additive variance, narrow‐sense heritability and expected selection gains.

Background The massive structural variations and frequent introgression highly contribute to the genetic diversity of wheat, while the huge and complex genome of polyploid wheat hinders efficient genotyping of abundant varieties towards accurate ...

Abstract Introduction Proper selection of genetic material is critical for restoring populations, with local seed often selected to maximize local adaptation. But if local populations are small, inbred, or maladapted, then including genotypes from various populations may enhance population growth and long‐term adaptation.

Heterosis analysis for grain yield traits in Maize (Zea mays L.)
In the present study 6 inbreds were used as parents to make crosses in all possible cross combination in full diallel fashion to obtain total 30 possible F1 hybrids. These 30 F1’s were subjected to heterosis analysis for midparental, heterobeltiosis and
