Macromutations (alleles with major phenotypic effects) have greatly simpli fied the lives of
geneticists. Wingless flies, hairless mice, and dwarf plants can all be conditioned by …

Publisher Summary Genetic markers are held for a detailed investigation of complex
questions in quantitative biology. The advent of DNA markers, greatly expanding the number …

Comparative analysis of a number of studies in drought‐stressed maize (Zea mays L.)
reporting quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for abscisic acid concentration, root characteristics …

In most maize-growing areas yield reductions due to drought have been observed. Drought
at flowering time is, in some cases, the most damaging. In the experiment reported here …

We investigated the overlap among quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in maize for seminal root
traits measured in hydroponics with QTLs for grain yield under well-watered (GY-WW) and …

Even though marker-assisted selection now plays a prominent role in the field of plant
breeding, examples of successful, practical outcomes are rare. It is clear that DNA markers …

A 'Langdon'durum wheat line with a pair of 6B chromosomes from an accession of Triticum
turgidum L. var. dicoccoides (Körn. in litt., in Schweinf.) Bowden [LDN (DIC‐6B)] previously …

The organoleptic quality of fleshy fruits is in a large part defined by their composition of
soluble sugars and organic acids. An F 2 population issuing from a cross between two …

The recently developed approach to deriving genetic markers via amplification of random
DNA segments with single primers of arbitrary nucleotide sequence was tested for its utility …

Haploids and doubled haploid (DH) inbred lines have become an invaluable tool for maize
genetic research and hybrid breeding, but the genetic basis of in vivo induction of maternal …
