Morphological Variation of Perilla Crop and Their Weedy Types from Northern and Southern Areas of China
Authors: S.J. Ma and J.K. Lee
In this study, we detected the morphological variation of 91 Perilla accessions from Northern and Southern China by the measurement of 7 quantitative and 10 qualitative characters. The accessions of cultivated var. frutescens were significantly different from accessions of weedy var. frutescens and cultivated and weedy types o.. Read More»

Genetic diversity of cultivated and wild tomatoes revealed by morphological traits and SSR markers
Authors: R. Zhou, Z. Wu, X. Cao and F.L. Jiang
In the current study, morphological traits and molecular markers were used to assess the genetic diversity of 29 cultivated tomatoes, 14 wild tomatoes and seven introgression lines. The three components of the principal component analysis (PCA) explained 78.54% of the total morphological variation in the 50 tomato genotypes assessed. Based on these morpho.. Read More»

Diallel cross analysis of plesiomorphic traits in Triticum aestivum L. genotypes
Authors: M. Shehzad, S.B. Hussain, M.K. Qureshi, M. Akbar, M. Javed1, H.M. Imran and S.A. Manzoor
We conducted a 5 x 5 complete diallel cross experiment in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) with the genotypes 6309, Chkwal-50, Dhrabi, Bhkhar-02, and FS-08. Our objective was to evaluate the type of gene action and the general and specific combining abilities required for various morphological traits in wheat. The results of analysis of variance revealed h.. Read More»

Classification and phylogenetic analysis of Chinese hawthorn assessed by plant and pollen morphology
Authors: S.L.Y. Ma and Y.M. Lu
The Chinese hawthorn (Crataegus pinnatifida Bge. var. major N.E.Br.) is uniquely originated in northern China. The ecological and horticultural importance of Chinese hawthorn is considerable and some varieties are valued for their fruit or medicine extracts. Its taxonomy and phylogeny remain poorly understood. Apart from general plant morphological traits.. Read More»

Genetic structure and diversity in the Dioscorea cayenensis/D. rotundata complex revealed by morphological and isozyme markers
Authors: E.A. Bressan, T. Briner Neto M.I. Zucchi R.J. Rabelloand E.A. Veasey
Of the 600 known yam species, only 10 are utilized as food, and the Dioscorea cayenensis/D. rotundata species complex is among the most cultivated. In Brazil, these species are commercially cultivated in the northeast region and are cultivated in the south and southeast regions as subsistence crops by traditional agriculturist.. Read More»

Assessment of genetic diversity and variation of Robinia pseudoacacia seeds induced by short-term spaceflight based on two molecular marker systems and morphological traits
Authors: C.Q. Yuan Y.F. Li P. Sun Y.H. Sun G.J. Zhang M.S. Yang Y.Y. Zhang Y. Li L. Wang
The black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) is a forest legume that is highly valued as a honey plant and for its wood. We explored the effect of short-term spaceflight on development of R. pseudoacacia seedlings derived from seeds that endured a 15-day flight; the genetic diversity and variation of plants sampled from space-mutagenized seeds were compared to pl..

Genetic diversity in Tunisian populations of faba bean (Vicia faba L.) based on morphological traits and molecular markers
Authors: I.Z. Backouchi, M. Aouida, N. Khemiri and M. Jebara
Genetic diversity within Vicia faba L. is key to the genetic improvement of this important species. In this study, morphological traits and RAPD molecular markers were used to assess the levels of polymorphism across 12 Tunisian populations, three major and nine minor from different locations. Analysis of morphological traits indicated that the three majo.. Read More»

Optimization of selective breeding through analysis of morphological traits in Chinese sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus)
Authors: W. Wang, C.Y. Ma, W. Chen, H.Y. Ma, H. Zhang, Y.Y. Meng, Y. Ni and L.B. Ma
Determining correlations between certain traits of economic importance constitutes an essential component of selective activities. In this study, our aim was to provide effective indicators for breeding programs of Lateolabrax maculatus, an important aquaculture species in China. We analyzed correlations between 20 morphometric traits and body weight, usi.. Read More»
