Rapeseed (Brassica napus L.): We analyzed a total of n = 136 rapeseed in-breds proprietary to Norddeutsche Pflanzenzucht Hans-Georg Lembke KG (Holt-see, Germany). In 2004, all entries were evaluated in a series of field trials. All trials included a set of three common checks and were conducted at Hohenlieth and Malchow (Germany). The experimental design of each trial was a 6×6 lattice design w...

Breeding progress in black raspberry (Rubus occidentalis L.) has been limited by a lack of genetic diversity in elite germplasm. Black raspberry cultivars have been noted for showing very few phenotypic differences and seedlings from crosses between cultivars for a lack of segregation for important traits. Despite these challenges, little molecular work has been done to explore genetic diversit...

In 2006, an experiment examining families belonging to the first selection stage of the Sugar Cane Breeding Program of Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro/Rede Interuniversitária para o Desenvolvimento do Setor Sucroalcooleiro was conducted. Families and plants within families were evaluated to select superior plants for subsequent stages of the breeding program. The experiment was arr...

An association genetics analysis was conducted to investigate the genetics of resistance to Septoria tritici blotch, caused by the fungus Zymoseptoria tritici (alternatively Mycosphaerella graminicola), in cultivars and breeding lines of wheat (Triticum aestivum) used in the UK between 1860 and 2000. The population was tested with Diversity Array Technology (DArT) and simple-sequence repeat (SS...

Materials Methods: In total, 3610 samples (3221 cattle 389 buffaloes) were subjected parallel testing using Rose Bengal plate test protein G...

AIM This study was designed to evaluate the effect of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and progesterone impregnated intra-vaginal device on progesterone profile and conception rate in repeat-breeding crossbred cows. MATERIALS AND METHODS Repeat-breeding crossbred cows aged 3-8 years (n=32), lactating and negative to white side test were randomly divid...
