Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.Forest fragmentation in Afrocarpus gracilior reduced genetic diversity and caused significant inbreeding depression, especially in smaller populations. Progeny from these populations showed lower genetic diversity, reduced germination rates, slower growth, and diminished survival. Seeds should be sourced from larger, genetically diverse populations for

FURTHER STUDIES ON ARTIFICIAL PARTHENOCARPY [PDF]
American Journal of Botany, 1938 IN THIS study on induced parthenocarpy the writer has had two objects in mind: to test out new compounds and to obtain further information on the mechanism of fruit development. The following new compounds have been used: 9,10-di-n-propyl-9,10dihydroxy 9,10 dihydro-1 ,2,5,6-dibenzanthracene and its potassium salt; 9-phenanthrylacetic acid and its ...

Genetic Improvement of Banana for Resistance to Xanthomonas Wilt in East Africa
Food and Energy Security, Volume 14, Issue 1, January/February 2025.ABSTRACT Banana (Musa spp.) is a staple food and income generation crop, feeding millions worldwide. However, the cultivation of bananas is challenging due to biotic and abiotic production constraints. Among these factors are pests and diseases, especially banana bacterial disease.

Hormonal Regulation of Early Fruit Development in European Pear (Pyrus communis cv. ‘Conference’)
Horticulturae, 2019 European pear requires inter-cultivar cross-pollination by insects to develop fertilized fruits. However, some European pear cultivars such as ‘Conference’ naturally produce parthenocarpic seedless fruits.

Differences in the genetic structure of citrus triploid hybrids recovered from 2x X 2x and 4x X 2x sexual hybridizations [PDF]
, 2015 Citrus triploid hybrids can be recovered by 2x X 2x hybridisations as a consequence of the formation of 2n gametes or by interploid hybridisation. Most of the 4x parents used in our program are doubled-diploid (DD), also known as autotetraploid.
