To study the association between Fusarium root-rot resistance
(Fusarium solani f. sp. phaseoli) and economically inportant characteristics
of beans, 2259 lines each consisting of 30 plants were used.
The lines were randomly selected for root-rot reaction, but were
selected for differences in vigor and differences in plant and seed
pigments,...
Crossover frequencies for seven selected regions on five
chromosomes of maize were measured to ascertain the effect of
chelating agents on recombination. Ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid,
EDTA, and dimethyl sulfoxide, DMSO, were used in three concentrations
singly, and in all combinations. Plants heterozygous for
for linked genes governing seed and seedling...
