Genetic variability for traits related to cooking time in soybean

Genetic variability and interrelationships of phenological, physicochemical and cooking quality traits in chickpea

Genetic Variability for Morphological Traits in F3:4 Brassica Populations

Genetic variability is an indicator for a plant breeder to proceed further. Six F3:4 derived inter-specific Brassica populations along with three checks were evaluated for genetic variability for agronomic characters at NWFP Agricultural University, during 20052006. Highly significant (P < 0.05) genetic variations were recorded for plant height. Maximum number of pods main receme (94) was obser...

QTL Mapping of Domestication-related Traits in Soybean (Glycine max)

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Understanding the genetic basis underlying domestication-related traits (DRTs) is important in order to use wild germplasm efficiently for improving yield, stress tolerance and quality of crops. This study was conducted to characterize the genetic basis of DRTs in soybean (Glycine max) using quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping. METHODS A population of 96 recombinant inb...

Physiological traits related to drought tolerance in Brassica

Physiological basis of genetic variability in drought response and its association with yieldand related indices is not clear in Brassica. In this study 36 accessions belonged to sevenspecies of Brassica were evaluated under normal, moderate and severe stress environments.Physiological traits along with seed yield, seed yield components, oil content and two selectionindices (stress tolerance in...

Disease- and Performance-Related Traits of Ethylene-Insensitive Soybean

Ethylene controls many beneficial responses in plants but also promotes chlorosis, senescence, disease, and fruit over-ripening. The present study compared previously isolated ethylene-insensitive lines of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] to their isogenic, ethylenesensitive parent with respect to disease resistance, seed yield, and other field performance traits. In laboratory tests, ethylene ...
