Over the past several decades, especially through traditional breeding programme,
intensive attempts have been made for the improvement of a large number of cereal …

It has introduced new generations of molecular markers for use in the genetic improvement
of farm animals. These markers provide more accurate genetic information and better …

In wheat, the deployment of marker‐assisted selection has long been hampered by the lack
of markers compatible with high‐throughput cost‐effective genotyping techniques. Recently …

Salinity is the second most important abiotic stress after drought that hampers rice
production, especially in south and Southeast Asia. Breeding approach supplemented with …

To improve plant varieties, since the late 19th century plant breeders relied on phenotypic
selection, achieving breeding progress through the assessment of external and internal …

At present the resistant potato cultivars under cultivation do not possess enough resistance
to wide range of potato cyst nematode (PCN) pathotypes (Ro1 to Ro5 of Globodera …

Use of morphological differences, between true hybrids and off types in grow out test (GOT)
for genetic purity analysis, are not always apparent and cannot be recognised easily …

Understanding the association between genotype and agronomically important phenotypes
(early flowering, hard seed, and winter hardiness) will facilitate cultivar selection and inform …

Pre-breeding information on the inheritance mechanism of important sweetpotato (Ipomoea
batatas L.) agronomic traits is still limited. This study aimed at assessing the inheritance of …

Simple sequence repeat motifs are abundant in plant genomes and are commonly used
molecular markers in plant breeding. In tomato, currently available genetic maps possess a …
