NUNES and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetic varation was investigated among 16 new restorer lines (R-lines) selected from the World Sorghum Collection, and one chemically induced mutant and its normal sib, used as male parents, and 14 newly developed cytoplasmic male sterile lines (A-lines) and four standard commercial A-lines, used as female parents. The 18 R-lines were divide in two groups. The 16 lines from the World Sorghum Colletion were first randomly subdivided into two groups of eight. The two ramaining R-lines were added to each of the two groups of eight so that each of the two groups of males was composed of 10 lines. The eight new R-lines were referred to as random males because they were regarded as a random sample from a much larger number of phenotypically desirable R-lines that could be identified in the World Sorghum Collection. The induced mutant and its normal sib were called fixed males. Similarly, the 14 new A-lines were divided at random into two groups of seven. The four standard male sterile lines were added to each of the groups so that both groups of females had 11 lines. The 14 newly developed A-lines were called random females because they were regarded as a random sample from a much larger number of phenotypically desirable A-lines that could be developed from the World Sorghum Colletions. The four standard A-lines were called fixed females because they were deliberately closen. Each of the two groups of males was matched at random with one of the two groups of famales. As a result, two "AB" overall mating (...).

This book was released on 2006 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of AFLP markers allowed the identification of five strong clusters through estimates of genetic similarities. This classification did not group the lines by either their genetic background or their fertility reaction. This study provides information to identify specific combinations that would help to understand heterotic relationships in sorghum, and support the suggestions made by Menz and Gabriel that races in sorghum are not well defined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " . . . . . . Nature has something more in view than that its own proper males should fecundate each blossom. " Andrew Knight Philosophical Transactions, 1799 Sterility implicating the male sex solely presents a paradoxical situation in which universality and uniqueness are harmoniously blended. It maintains a built-in outbreeding system but is not an isolating mechanism, as male steriles, the "self-emasculated" plants, outcross with their male fertile sibs normally. Both genes (nuclear and cytoplasmic) and environment, individually as well as conjointly, induce male sterility, the former being genetic and the latter nongenetic. Genetic male sterility is controlled either exclusively by nuclear genes (ms) or by the complementary action of nuclear (lr) and cytoplasmic (c) genes. The former is termed genic and the latter gene-cytoplasmic male sterility. Whereas genic male sterility exhibits Mendelian inheritance, gene-cytoplasmic male sterility is non-Mendelian, with specific transmissibility of the maternal cytoplasm type. Genetic male sterility is documented in 617 species and species crosses com prising 320 species, 162 genera and 43 families. Of these, genic male sterility occurs in 216 species and 17 species crosses and gene-cytoplasmic male sterility in 16 species and 271 species crosses. The Predominance of species exhibiting genic male sterility and of species crosses exhibiting gene-cytoplasmic male sterility is due to the fact that for the male sterility expression in the former, mutation of nuclear genes is required, but in the latter, mutations of both nuclear and cytoplasmic genes are necessary.

Download or read book Industrial Crops written by Von Mark V. Cruz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-17 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The volume on Industrial Crop Breeding will be part of the series, Handbook of Plant Breeding. This volume will focus on the emerging area of plant breeding for sustainable production of transportation fuels and bio based products using the current advances in the field. The book is scheduled to consist of a total number of 30 chapters divided into four sections. The sections will emphasize crops being considered for different challenge areas including oil crops for biodiesel; sugar, starch and cellulosic crops for biofuel; crops for bio products and issues and future prospects. A chapter introducing the first three sections will also be included. Outstanding scientists for each crop species are proposed as senior authors, who may invite co-authors to contribute part of a chapter to provide additional expertise or perspective. The proposed authors will represent various national and international institutions to get a more diverse view on the topic and somehow get a global view on the common issues that researchers on industrial crops are facing. The book will comprise primarily of specific issues, available germplasm, breeding techniques, and potential geographical areas of production pertaining to individual crops being considered for industrial uses. We hope to encourage the proposed authors of new crops to provide an estimate of the crop readiness for commercial development and discuss the limitations. This book will be will be of interest and envisioned to serve as an updated reference to researchers in both academic and industrial setting, to students and teachers of plant breeding and to policy makers who are looking for alternative solutions to dependency on imported petroleum products.
