Crossbreeding of Phyllostachys species (Poaceae) and identification of their hybrids using ISSR markers.
Crossbreeding is an efficient means to increase production and quality in plants; however, hybridization is seldom reported in bamboo. We crossbred two bamboo species Phyllostachys kwangsiensis (female parent) and Phyllostachys bambusoides (male parent) for the first time, and obtained suspected bamboo hybrids. We identified two bamboo hybrids from the above parents using PCR/ISSR. We concluded...
متن کاملArtificial selection and maintenance of genetic variance in the global dairy cow population.
Genetic improvement of dairy cows, which has increased the milk yield of cows in the UK by 1200 kg per lactation in 12 years, is an excellent example of the application of quantitative genetics to agriculture. The most important traits of dairy cattle are expressed only in females, but the main opportunity for selection is in males. Despite this, genetic improvement was achieved by the inventio...
متن کاملPotato genetics, genomics, and applications
Potato has a variety of reproductive uniquenesses besides its clonal propagation by tubers. These traits are controlled by a different kind of genetic control. The reproductive information has been applied to enable interspecific hybridization to enhance valuable traits, such as disease and pest resistances, from the tuber-bearing Solanum gene pool. While progress has been made in potato breedi...
متن کاملImpact of biotechnology on ( cross ) breeding programmes in q pigs
Crossbreeding programmes in pigs exploit between breed complementarity of additive genetic effects and heterosis generated by non-additive genetic effects. Within breed, improvement programmes may focus on additive effects and hence the enhancement of complementarity, but non-additive variation is not generally used in within line selection or for mate selection at the multiplier or commercial ...
متن کاملGenetic relationship between the Nordestino horse and national and international horse breeds.
Knowledge of genetic diversity and relationships between breeds is very important for conservation programs. Hair samples were collected from 393 individual Nordestino horses and genotyped using 14 microsatellite markers in order to investigate the genetic relationship between this breed and 66 international horse breeds. There was high allelic diversity and inbreeding coefficient within popula...
