We evaluated the potential of genetic distances estimated by microsatellite markers for the prediction of the performance of single-cross maize hybrids. We also examined the potential of molecular markers for the prediction of genotypic values and the applicability of the Monte Carlo method for a correlation of genetic distances and grain yield. Ninety S(0:2) progenies derived from three single...

Herein we introduce software, Numericware i to compute a matrix consisting of all pairwise identical in state (IIS) coefficients from genotypic data. Since the emergence of high throughput technology for genotyping, calculating an IIS matrix between many pairs of entities has required large computer memory and lengthy processing times. Numericware i addresses these limitations with two algorith...

The present investigation was carried out to assess genetic variability parameters, correlation coefficient analysis, path analysis in 21 maize genotypes for 15 quantitative traits viz Days 50% tasseling, silking, anthesis – silking interval, 75% maturity, Plant height (cm), Ear Cob length girth weight (g), Number of grain rows per cob, grains row, 100 Biological yield plant Harvest index (%), ...

The study was conducted on 50 landrace populations of grass pea at Adet Research Center, Ethiopia, using Randomised Complete Block Design in three replications to determine morphological variability and character associations. Evaluations were made on plant and yield characters from eight plants tagged randomly from each plot. The data were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), heritabilit...

This research was planned to study the heritability (broad sense), correlation, genetic advance and behavior of different characters in segregating population upland cotton. The material consists fourteen crosses along with their seven parents. Parental varieties show significant difference for all traits under study. Plant height, ginning out turn (GOT), bolls per plant yield showed ranging fr...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analyses for selection of the best parents for breeding of hybrid winter triticale. Phenotypic diversity was measured for 8 agronomic traits in 10 parents and 27 F1 hybrids. Genotypic diversity was measured by 91 AFLP markers. Coefficients of correlation of genetic similarity (AFLP-GS) wi...

conclusions mlva analysis showed that samples obtained from different sources could have similar genetic profile. as a result, administration of penicillin in patients with listeriosis (especially pregnant women) and antibiotic susceptibility test are recommended. the fast and accurate methods such as mlva for tracking of pollution sources of l. monocytogenes are recommended during outbreaks. r...

background and objectives: pneumocystis jiroveci is an important causative agent of pneumocystis pneumonia. during childhood, exposure to pneumocystis occurs and antibody was built in early childhood. the aim of this study was to describe the molecular epidemiology of p. jiroveci in children without any respiratory syndrome and survey the distribution of different mitochondrial large subunit, r...

Aims: In India, the Indian bean is a popular vegetable and legume crop. An attempt was made to analyze variability, correlation as well direct-indirect effects using path analysis for yield its sub-characters.
 Place Duration of Study: Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat. Rabi 2019-20.
 Methodology: The investigation conducted 55 genotypes in randomized block design thre...
