This article reviews key contributions in the area of statistics as applied to the use of
molecular marker technology and quantitative genetics in the search for genes affecting …

Testing possible associations between physiological and biochemical traits by comparing
plant phenotypes and looking for correlations between them is unreliable. The development …

The genetic basis for three grain yield components of rice, 1000 kernel weight (KW), grain
number per panicle (GN), and grain weight per panicle (GWP), was investigated using …

A deep thick root system has been demonstrated to have a positive effect on yield of upland
rice under water stress conditions. Molecular-marker-aided selection could be helpful for the …

The major difference between annual and biennial cultivars of oilseed Brassica napus and
B. rapa is conferred by genes controlling vernalization-responsive flowering time. These …

A BC 3 population previously developed from a backcross of Lycopersicon peruvianum, a
wild relative of tomato, into the cultivated variety L. esculentum was analyzed for QTLs …

Breeding for a quantitative trait like drought resistance would be facilitated by the
development of a method of marker‐assisted selection (MAS) that is capable of identifying …

At least six potyviruses infect pepper crops around the world. Only monogenic resistance
with isolate-specific effects or broad-spectrum effects against potyviruses has been …

Abstract An 80-point genetic map [77 random-amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPD), F
(female sex expression), de (determinate), and ll (little leaf)] was constructed from a narrow …

The objective of this study was to use random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) to
determine the genetic location and effects of genomic regions controlling wood density, stem …
