057 Hybrid Performance of Male-sterile and Pollinator Inbred Onion Lines

Hybrid Performance from Male-Sterile and Pollinator Inbred Onion Lines

Genetic Distance Based on SSR Markers and Testcross Performance of Maize Inbred Lines

The identification of parental inbred lines to develop superior hybrids is a rather costly and time-consuming step in maize breeding. In some cases, pedigree information has been used to select diverse parental lines. In the case of Iranian maize inbred lines, this information is not fully available. In this study we investigated the genetic distance (GD) based on Simple sequence Repeats (SSR) ...

Effects ofpollinator line characteristics on quantity and quality of monogerm hybrid seed production in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.)

A two-year experiment was carried out to study the effects of pollinator line characteristicson the quantity and quality of monogerm hybrid seed production in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.)and select proper pollinator for five promising sugar beet cytoplasmic male sterile lines (CMSs)during 2012-2013 growing seasons. In this study, four diploid pollinator lines were crossed byfive CMSs of sugar ...
