Inheritance of some pomological traits in Minaret × Betinka apricot progeny

Observations on Inheritance of Male Sterility in Apricot

Male sterility is defined as the deviant condition in normally bisexual plants when no viable pollen is formed (Frankel and Galun, 1977). Male sterility has been exploited as an effective tool to aid hybrid seed production in many crops. Using this trait, seed producers can transform one inbred from a planned hybridization into a “female” line, thereby ensuring seed of hybrid origin on the male...

Evaluation of Pomological Traits and Fatty Acid Composition of Some Persian Walnut (Juglans regia L.) Cultivars in Bursa, Turkey

The pomological properties and nutritional values of walnuts vary according to the cultivars and ecological conditions. This study aims to determine some pomological properties and fatty acid compositions of some domestic ('Bilecik', 'Maraş 12', 'Maraş 18', 'Şebin', 'Şen1', 'Şen 2') and foreign walnut cultivars (‘Chandler', 'Fernette', 'Fernor', 'Howard', 'Pedro', 'Serr') grown in Bursa (northw...

Study of Bearing Status and Fruit Quantity and Quality Traits in Some Apricot Cultivars in Karaj Condition

Selection response in traits with maternal inheritance.

Maternal inheritance is the non-Mendelian transmission of traits from mothers to their offspring. Despite its presence in virtually all organisms, acting through a variety of mechanisms, the evolutionary consequences of maternal inheritance are not well understood. Here we review and extend a model of the inheritance and evolution of multiple quantitative characters with complex pathways of mat...

Parallel evolution and inheritance of quantitative traits.

Parallel phenotypic evolution, the independent evolution of the same trait in closely related lineages, is interesting because it tells us about the contribution of natural selection to phenotypic evolution. Haldane and others have proposed that parallel evolution also results from a second process, the similarly biased production of genetic variation in close relatives, an idea that has receiv...
