Identification of molecular markers associated with genic male sterility in tetraploid cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) through bulk segregant analysis using a cotton SNP 63K array

Czech Journal of Genetics and Plant Breeding, 2018
Genic male sterility (GMS) is one of the most important economic traits for cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) hybrid seed production. The GMS trait conferred by two recessive alleles ms5 and ms6 in homozygous constitution is widely used for cotton hybrid ...

Field Assessment of Two Micronutrients (Zinc and Boron) on the Seed Yield and Oil Content of Mustard

Seeds, 2023
In an experimental investigation, we looked into how different zinc (Zn) and boron (B) dosages affected the production and the amount of oil in mustard. Zn and B treatments, respectively, were separated into four levels: 0, 1, 2, 4, and 0, 0.4, 0.6, and ...

Dormancy Breaking of Teramnus labialis (L.f.) Spreng Seeds Is Affected by the Extent of Liquid Nitrogen Exposure

Seeds, 2023
Teramnus labialis (L.f.) Spreng shows dormancy as a result of impermeability of the seed coat, which requires scarification treatment before sowing. Liquid nitrogen (LN) as a scarifying treatment has recently been used on this species, with excellent ...
