Methods of recurrent selection and exploitation of heterosis in maize [PDF]
Recurrent selection methods were designed to improve the agronomic value of populations by gradually increasing the frequency of favorable alleles, while maintaining genetic variability.

This article 'Recurrent Selection in Rice' appeared in the International Rice Research Newsletter series, created by the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). The primary objective of this publication was to expedite communication among scientists concerned with the development of improved technology for rice and for rice based cropping systems.

The effects of four cycles of recurrent selection on the allele frequencies of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers and population structure were examined in the Maksimir 3 Synthetic (M3S) maize population (Zea mays L.). Genotyping of 32 plants from each

Recurrent selection in sorghum populations [PDF]
TRADITIONAL methods of breeding improved varieties of mainly selfpollinating crops have been very successful. Success has been greatest when characters controlled by relatively few genetic factors have been the main objects of selection. Height and length of maturity differences, some pest and disease resistances, and some leaf and panicle ...

Soft sweeps III: The signature of positive selection from recurrent mutation [PDF]
Polymorphism data can be used to identify loci at which a beneficial allele has recently gone to fixation, given that an accurate description of the signature of selection is available. In the classical model that is used, a favored allele derives from a

Species from the crested wheatgrass (Agropyron spp.) complex have been widely used for revegetation and grazing on North American rangelands for over 100 years. Focused crested wheatgrass breeding has been ongoing since the 1920s.

Sequential feature selection for classification [PDF]
In most real-world information processing problems, data is not a free resource; its acquisition is rather time-consuming and/or expensive. We investigate how these two factors can be included in supervised classication tasks by deriving classication ...

Behavior of half-sib progenies of coriander
This work evaluated the behavior of coriander half-sib progenies (Coriandrum sativum L.) regarding their agronomic traits. The study was developed in a greenhouse in the Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco, PE, Brazil.

Parametric and non-parametric indexes applied in the selection of sour passion fruit progenies
Several traits must be observed in the selection of sour passion fruit progenies. For such, selection indices could be used for gradually increasing the frequency of favorable genotypes for the set of the traits of interest.

Plant breeding is a decision-making discipline based on understanding project objectives. Genetic improvement projects can have two competing objectives: maximize the rate of genetic improvement and minimize the loss of useful genetic variance.
