Genetic linkage maps have the potential to facilitate the genetic dissection of complex traits and comparative analyses of genome structure, as well as molecular breeding efforts in species of agronomic importance. Until ...

Heritability in the narrow sense and in the broad sense, variance components and correlation coefficients are important genetic parameters in a breeding program. The estimates of these parameters can provide important ...

Making quality and winterhardiness in barley are "ultimate" phenotypes composed of component, quantitatively inherited traits. A 69-point genome map of the seven chromosomes of barley was used, in conjunction with mult ...

The level of polymorphisms of many biochemical and DNA markers are low in cultivated sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.). The number of mapped public DNA markers is limited. Molecular markers have not been developed for t ...

Fiber flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) production in the Willamette Valley ended in Oregon around 1957 before newly developed technology and fiber cultivars were available. The purpose of this research was to explore the ...
