Abstract The information on genetic parameters need to be known in relation the selection process for breeding of high yielding plant genotypes. This study aims estimate frequency distribution, segregation pattern, and transgressive agronomic characters M3 generation red chili “Laris” variety after gamma-ray irradiation. research was conducted at Integrated Field Laboratory, Faculty Agriculture...

this experiment was conducted to investigate the genetic diversity, relationship between morphological, agronomic and qualitative traits and to identify components of forage yield using some multivariate statistical methods in local sainfoin populations. the experiment was conducted as randomized complete block design with four replications in isfahan university of technology research farm. res...

Resistance to pathogens is essential for survival of wild and cultivated plants. Pathogen susceptibility causes major losses of crop yield and quality. Durable field resistance combined with high yield and other superior agronomic characters are therefore, important objectives in every crop breeding program. Precision and efficacy of resistance breeding can be enhanced by molecular diagnostic t...

Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an important cash crop, and its agronomic traits directly affect yield and quality. Molecular studies on flax remain inadequate because relatively few flax genes have been associated with agronomic traits or have been identified as having potential applications. To identify markers and candidate genes that can potentially be used for genetic improvement of cruci...

Genotypes of the sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam) normally exhibit high variability in their morphological characters. A field experiment was carried out 2017 at National Root Crops Research Institute, Umudike, Abia State, Nigeria to assess diversity among population 68 first filial generation (F1) genotypes (Ligri PC) derived from seeds produced through poly cross systems International ...

Morpho-agronomic and molecular (RAPD and ISSR markers) data were used to evaluate genetic distances between papaya backcross progenies in order to help identify agronomically superior genotypes. Thirty-two papaya progenies were evaluated based on 15 morpho-agronomic characteristics, 20 ISSR and 19 RAPD primers. Manhattan, Jaccard and Gower distances were used to estimate differences based ...

The development of transgressive phenotype in the segregating populations has been speculated to contribute to niche divergence of hybrid lineages, which occurs most frequently at larger genetic distances. Wild Lens species are considered to be more resistant against major biotic and abiotic stresses than that of the cultivated species. In the present study, we assessed the comparative agronomi...

The development of high-yielding heat-tolerant cotton cultivars harboring plastic phenotypes across warming climatic regions is prime objectives today’s breeding programs. We evaluated eight parents and 15 F1 hybrids under normal heat stress conditions. Agronomic biochemical characters were analyzed using standard least square, correlation, principal component analysis (PCA), hierarchical clust...

ABSTRACT Bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) is a plant species recommended by the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency (Anvisa) as hypoglycemiant. The characterization of plants an essential step in any breeding program. objective present work was to organize and characterize bitter germplasm collection, based on morpho-agronomic characters, assess its genetic diversity identify genotypes agro...

A wide genetic diversity has been reported for wild olives, which could be particularly interesting for the introgression of some agronomic traits and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses in breeding programs. However, the introgression of some beneficial wild traits may be paralleled by negative effects on some other important agronomic and quality traits. From the quality point of view, ...
