Genetic variation available for the improvement of fiber properties is restricted in commercial upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Resources for fiber improvement exist in G. barbadense L., but introgression of traits has been a limited success. The objectives of this study were to investigate the genetic variation and heritability of agronomic and fiber traits within a diverse recombinant ...

A graph G is called a Berge graph if neither G nor its complement contains a chordless cycle whose length is odd and at least five; what we call a dart is the graph with vertices u, v, w, x, y and edges uv, vw, uy, vy, wy, xy; a graph is called dart-free if it has no induced subgraph isomorphic to the dart. We present a polynomial-time algorithm to recognize dart-free Berge graphs; this algorit...

Two new species, Neoseiulus elisiensis n. sp. and Neoseiulus neomarginatus n. sp., are described from Greece. Neoseiulus leucophaeus (Athias-Henriot) is re-described and illustrated based on specimens collected on Thymelaea hirsuta (L.) Endl. A key to all species of the genus Neoseiulus Hughes reported from Greece is provided.
