Equilibrium state of molecular breeding

Equilibrium state of molecular breeding.

We investigate the equilibrium state of the model of Peng, et al. for molecular breeding. In the model, a population of DNA sequences is successively culled by removing the sequences with the lowest binding affinity to a particular target sequence. The remaining sequences are then amplified to restore the original population size, undergoing some degree of point-substitution of nucleotides in t...

A Molecular-Based Equation of State for Vapour-liquid Equilibrium of Pure Substances

A semi-empirical equation of state has been studied for modelling vapour-liquid data of pure substances. The specific molecular based equation of state is employed here as basis because of its mathematical simplicity. The semi-empirical extension has been accomplished to real fluids by correlating the density dependence of the attraction term to vapour liquid data of a reference fluid. The resu...

Application of DNA Molecular Markers in Plant Breeding (Review article)

Plant Breeding has utilized a wide range of techniques and methods to improve the quality and quantity of plants. The molecular markers are the tools that have provided a new perspective for plant breeding advancements. This article has reviewed the various advantages and uses of molecular markers and the utilization of the high potential of natural polymorphisms within communities, combined wi...

Molecular breeding of healthy vegetables

In September 2010, a group of carrot growers in the USA announced a US$25 million marketing campaign to promote ‘cut and peel’ carrots—also known as ‘baby carrots’—with the slogan: “Eat ‘em like junk food”. The campaign is an attempt to break into the US$18 billion snack-food industry by “[t]aking a page out of junk food’s playbook and applying it to baby carrots” (Horovitz, 2010). It is neithe...
