Cotton breeding progress stagnation, changing production conditions, and continued high fiber quality demands are challenging the cotton industry in Burkina Faso. The F1 populations developed by half diallel crosses between germplasm from Texas A&M AgriLife Research Faso were evaluated for several agronomic traits. aim was to identify most promising parents hybrids further varietal improvem...

BACKGROUND While short-term effects of parent training (PT) have been extensively evaluated, long-term outcome and present predictors of a diagnosis for children with ODD/CD treated with parent training are very limited. METHOD In the present study, diagnostic status as outcome and predictors of treatment response were examined in a 5-6-year follow-up. Out of 99 children who had been treated ...

While mat A and mat a wild types or other fertile strains of known mating type can be used to determine the mating type of segregants or newly acquired strains, the highly fertile aconidiate mutant fluffy (fl) is superior to wild type when used as the female parent in tests. fluffy strains form abundant perithecia more quickly and the perithecia are more readily observed, especially in small sl...

Rhodosporidium toruloides ATCC 10788 (haploid, A1 mating type) and ATCC 10657 (haploid, A2 mating type) were derived from the same diploid parent strain Rhodotorula glutinis ATCC 90781 and are important strains for metabolic engineering. Draft genome sequences of both strains are reported here. The current assembly of strain ATCC 10788 comprises 61 scaffolds with a total size of 20.75 Mbp and a...

Firmly united conjugant pairs of P. caudatum were easily separated by treatment with trypsin, 0.025--1.0 mg/ml in 2 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.2. Cytological observations showed that pairs separated by this means undergo normal meiosis and subsequent prezygotic divisions. Microspectrophotometric comparisons of G1 micronuclei in the parent with those in clones derived from prematurely separated...

• Two hundred forty two gooseberry accessions were analysed by 15 SSR markers enabling the identification of 153 unique genotypes. The genetic diversity indicated a slightly negative assortative mating as expected for an outcrossing species. Cultivars that have been wide spread in cultivation sweden had large number synonymous samples. studied genotypes clustered into four posterior groups corr...

Abstract Pearl millet [ Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] is an important food-security crop to smallholder farmers in West Africa (WA). Breeding for high yield and stability a major challenge the harsh environments of WA but could be tackled by more systematic exploitation hybrid vigor heterosis breeding both open-pollinated varieties (OPVs) different types hybrids. Knowledge combining ability p...

The cell wall protein Hwp1 was originally demonstrated to be expressed exclusively in hyphae of Candida albicans and cross-linked to human epithelium by mammalian transglutaminase. Hwp1 is expressed on the walls of hyphae formed by a/alpha, a/a, and alpha/alpha cells. Hence, it is expressed on hyphae independently of mating type. However, Hwp1 is selectively expressed on the wall of conjugation...
