This paper was presented as part of the symposium entitled “Post‐Green Revolution Trends
in Crop Yield Potential: Increasing, Stagnant or Greater Resistance to Stress.” In this …

This book attempts to present a readable format on plant breeding principles and their
application, based on the collective experience of the three authors, but with a heavy …

Two recombinant inbred (RI) populations having 194 and 222 lines each, derived,
respectively, from a highly heterotic inter-(IJ) and intrasubspecific (II) hybrid, were …

Molecular markers were used to map and characterize quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for
several characters of agronomic and biological importance in an interspecific backcross of …

This study was conducted to compare maize quantitative trait loci (QTL) detection for grain
yield and yield components in F 2∶ 3 and F 6∶ 7 recombinant inbred (RI) lines from the …

Deciphering the genetic mechanisms underlying agronomic traits is of great importance for
crop improvement. Most of these traits are controlled by multiple quantitative trait loci (QTLs) …

Abstract 'Lemont'and 'Teqing'are both semidwarf rice varieties that differ in heading date by
only 6 days. However, when 'Lemont'and 'Teqing'are crossed there is transgressive …

This new edition has been revised to take account of recent advances in genetic
engineering, and new chapters added on cell and tissue culture, molecular genetics, and …

Infectious pancreatic necrosis IPN) is a wellknown acute viral disease of salmonid species.
We have identified quantitative trait loci QTLs) associated with resistance to this disease in …

Seed oligosaccharides (OSs) and especially raffinose series OSs (RSOs) are hypothesized
to play an important role in the acquisition of desiccation tolerance and consequently in …
