Although pedigree selection is the most commonly used method for developing inbred lines
of maize, there are no studies on its effect on the heterozygosity of the lines. The objective of …

Evaluation of genetic variation was performed within 62 local maize populations originating
from Slovakia and Czech Republic. In total 48 alleles at 22 analyzed isoenzyme loci with an …

The success of an improvement program depends on the correct parent choice and an
effective selection of superior genotypes in segregating populations. The use of genetic …

Para identificar QTLs para produtividade de grãos e peso de 100 sementes em feijoeiro
(Phaseolus vulgaris L.), foram usados microssatélites influenciados pela seleção natural …

Os objetivos deste trabalho foram caracterizar a resistência à vassoura-de-bruxa de plantas
de cacau originadas do cruzamento entre TSH 1188 e CCN 51 (população segregante), por …

In this work, phenotypic and molecular events leading to plant height heterosis formation
and sugarcane mosaic virus resistance were examined. Phenotypic investigations of …

Usually, multiple traits are measured on individuals in a quantitative trait locus (QTL)
mapping experiment. These traits are typically analyzed separately. Currently, there is great …

Since the dawn of agriculture, mankind has sought to improve crops by selecting individual
plants with the most desirable characteristics or traits. Although the process may have …

Plant breeding is the management of genetic variability. A large number of traits of economic
importance are quantitative in nature and are characterized by continuous variation owing to …
