Perennial plant breeding is an expensive and time-consuming process, mainly due to the extended growth time for juveniles. In these cases, use of molecular marker-assisted selection (MMAS) allows a characteristic interest at seed or seedling stages. The objective this work was characterize segregation INO locus MMAS early seedless genotypes atemoya 'Gefner' [(G; Annona cherimola Mill. × squamos...

In this study, an efficient Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method was developed forpomegranate (Punica granatum L.), a difficult-to-transform plant. In vitro shoot segments wereinoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 harboring the binary vectorpBI121 carrying the neomycin phosphotransferase (nptII) gene as a selectable marker and β-glucuronidase (gus) gene as a reporter....

A potential venue to improve healthcare efficiency is to effectively tailor individualized treatment strategies by incorporating patient level predictor information such as environmental exposure, biological, and genetic marker measurements. Many useful statistical methods for deriving individualized treatment rules (ITR) have become available in recent years. Prior to adopting any ITR in clini...
