Determining gene sequences responsible for complex phenotypes has remained a major
objective in modern biology. The candidate gene approach is attempting to link, through …

Effective use of converted day‐neutral Gossypium hirsutum L. race stocks in cotton genetic
improvement programs depends on the extent of genetic variation for desirable alleles and …

To assess the influence of the environment on fruit metabolism, tomato (Solanum
lycopersicum 'Moneymaker') plants were grown under contrasting conditions (optimal for …

This article represents some current thinking and objectives in the use of molecular markers
to abiotic stress tolerance. Barley has been chosen for study as it is an important crop …

Solanum pimpinellifolium, a wild relative of cultivated tomato, offers a wealth of breeding
potential for desirable traits such as tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses. Here, we report …

Lycopersicon parviflorum is a sexually compatible, wild tomato species which has been
largely unutilized in tomato breeding. The Advanced Backcross QTL (AB-QTL) strategy was …

Bread wheat, the most widely cultivated and consumed food crop, developed in two stages
through natural intercrossing among diploid grass species. About 10,000 years ago the …

Key message QTLs controlling yield-related traits were mapped using a population derived
from common wheat and Tibetan semi-wild wheat and they provided valuable information …

Tomato and potato expressed sequence tag (EST) sequences contained in the solanaceae
genomics network (SGN) database were screened for simple sequence repeat (SSR) motifs …

The objective of the present study was to identify favourable exotic Quantitative Trait Locus
(QTL) alleles for the improvement of agronomic traits in the BC 2 DH population S42 derived …
