Assessment of allelic diversity among drought-resistant cotton genotypes using microsatellite markers

Drought, in conjunction with high temperature, is an important environmental constraint to cotton production. Development of cotton varieties with increased tolerance against adverse environmental conditions has been proposed as effective strategy for ensuring reliable yields. In the present study, 30 simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers were used to estimate geneti.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of Saccharum officinarum accessions in Pakistan as revealed by random amplified polymorphic DNA

    F.A. Khan, A. Khan, F.M. Azhar and S. Rauf

Genetic diversity of 20 sugarcane accessions in Pakistan was studied using 21 random amplified polymorphic DNA markers. The mean genetic distance between the cultivars was 39.03%, demonstrating that a large part of the genome is similar among the accessions. This probably arises from a lack of parental diversity, with few clones, which are themselves related, contri.. Read More»

Combining ability analysis for within-boll yield components in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.)

    M. Imran A. Shakeel F.M. Azhar J. Farooq M.F. Saleem A. Saeed W. Nazeer M. Riaz M. Naeem A. Javaid

Cotton is an important cash crop worldwide, accounting for a large percentage of world agricultural exports; however, yield per acre is still poor in many countries, including Pakistan. Diallel mating system was used to identify parents for improving within-boll yield and fiber quality parameters. Combining ability analysis was employed to obtain suitable parents for this purpose. The parental gen.. Read More»
