Production of grain legumes is severely reduced in salt-affected soils because their ability to form and maintain nitrogen-fixing nodules is impaired by both salinity and sodicity (alkalinity). Genotypes of chickpea, Cicer arietinum, with high nodulation capacity under stress were identified by field screening in a sodic soil in India and subsequently evaluated quantitatively for nitrogen fixat...

We used simulation to explore the impact of common data imperfections (i.e., missing parents, genotyping error, map error, and missing genotypes) upon the performance of multipoint and single point linkage analysis in the analyses of linkage data from pairs of siblings affected with an idealized complex trait. The performance of single point and multipoint linkage was similar under an unrealist...

Forty mungbean genotypes were evaluated for fourteen quantitative traits, planted in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Mahalanobis' generalised distance D2 was used to assess the character data and Principal Component Analysis estimating genetic diversity identification of superior genotypes. Following Tocher's technique, 40 divided into 7 clusters accordance their dista...

In this work, the objective was to evaluate morphoagronomic traits, correlate and select elite genotypes of Stevia rebaudiana (Bert.) Hemsley with high productivity, adapted Brazilian Savanna conditions. A total 230 were evaluated, from Embrapa Cerrados Working Collection, 2018 2019, 24 evaluations, carried out in six cuts, each cut representing a certain moment generation response data analyze...

the main objective for development and introduction of the new cultivar was to a achieve a high yielding and adaptative to short growing period or a catch crop, suitable for growing in different areas of iran. after preliminary selections carried out during 1998-2000, 72 foxtail millet populations which had been collected from different parts of iran, were examined and based on different agrono...

to estimate combining ability and the model of gene action for some quantitative characters, 5 different rice genotypes were used for producing a half diallel hybrids. to consider 7 quantitative traits, hybrids and their corresponding parents were evaluated based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the rice research station of amol, iran in 2007. mean squares regard...

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is known for its nutritional, medicinal, and ornamental importance. It is conventionally propagated by hardwood and softwood cuttings, but about 1 yr is needed before the rooted cuttings can be transplanted to the field. Propagation by seed is undesirable as populations are heterozygous and seed propagation leads to wide variations in tree and fruit characterist...

Abstract The Embrapa Cerrados pitaya breeding program developed five superior genotypes of different species. objective this work was to evaluate the yield capacity these under edaphoclimatic conditions Federal District. experiment carried out at in Planaltina, DF. selected were evaluated, as well a parent genotype used program. Length (CF), diameter (DF) and mass (MF) all fruits length/diamete...
