Screening for Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) Resistance in Early‐Maturing Tropical Maize Adapted to Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

Genotypic Variation and Association Mapping for Plant Stature and Anthesis‐Silking Interval in Set of Temperate‐Adapted Maize Lines Developed by DH and SSD Methods

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT BS39 is a broad‐based population of tropical maize adapted to temperate environments that can provide useful and unique alleles to US Corn Belt breeding programmes. Doubled‐haploid (DH) has been used as an efficient alternative method to speed up the development of maize lines. Our objectives were to compare genetic parameters for plant height

EFFECT OF INBREEDING ON LOIN AND FAT DEPTH IN HUNGARIAN LANDRACE PIGS [PDF]

Poljoprivreda, 2007
Pedigree and field test data - collected between 1997-2005 - were analyzed in a group of 68062 Hungarian Landrace pigs. The analysed traits were loin depth (LD), fat depth1 (FD1) and fat depth2 (FD2).

In Vivo Propagation of Root Explants of the Dandelion Species Taraxacum kok‐saghyz, Taraxacum officinale and Their Interspecific Hybrids

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dandelion species Taraxacum kok‐saghyz is a promising new crop for natural rubber production and is currently in the early stages of the breeding process. To support these efforts, the multiplication and conservation of defined genotypes are crucial.

A major QTL affects temperature sensitive adult lethality and inbreeding depression in life span in Drosophila melanogaster

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2008
Background The study of inbreeding depression has major relevance for many disciplines, including conservation genetics and evolutionary biology. Still, the molecular genetic basis of this phenomenon remains poorly characterised, as knowledge on the ...

The genetic basis of inbreeding depression

Genetical Research, 1999
Data on the effects of inbreeding on fitness components are reviewed in the light of population genetic models of the possible genetic causes of inbreeding depression. Deleterious mutations probably play a major role in causing inbreeding depression.
