A generation-means analysis was performed on two maize populations, each segregating for genes conferring resistance to anthracnose stalk rot (ASR). The populations were derived from a cross of DE811ASR x DE811 and of DE811ASR x LH132. The resistant parent, DE811ASR, was obtained through introgression with MP305 as the donor and DE811 as the recurrent parent. The analysis revealed significant additive effects in both populations and a significant additive x dominant effect in the DES11ASR x DES11 population. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping, using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP)-based molecular markers, indicated a significant QTL on linkage group 4 in both populations. The QTL analysis confirmed additive inheritance in both populations. This work demonstrates a close correspondence between generation-means analysis and discrete observations using molecular markers. Linkage of a genetic marker to genes conferring resistance to ASR will be useful for the introgression of resistance into elite germplasm.

Septoria tritici blotch (STB) is a major disease problem of wheat worldwide. To optimize the introgression of resistance genes in elite genotypes throughout traditional or molecular breeding programs, a full understanding of the quantitative inheritance of resistance to , plant height (PH), and thousand kernel weight (TKW) is needed. In this study, maternal and cytoplasmic effects of resistance to STB were investigated using P1 (susceptible, high-yielding line) and P2 (resistant, low-yielding line) durum wheat lines and their F, RF, F, RF, BC, RBC, BC, and RBC progeny, assessed for resistance to STB during three growing seasons.

is a necrotrophic fungus causing devastating stem rot and associated yield losses of canola/rapeseed () worldwide, including in Australia. Developing host resistance against Sclerotinia stem rot is critical if this disease in canola/rapeseed is to be successfully managed, as cultural or chemical control options provide only partial or sporadic control. Three breeding populations, C2, C5 and C6, including the parents, F, F, BCP1, and BCP2, were used in a field study with an objective of exploring the inheritance pattern of disease resistance (based on stem lesion length [SLL]) and the genetic relationships of disease with stem diameter (SD) or days to first flowering (DTF), and to compare these new adult plant stem resistances against with those of seedling (cotyledon and leaf) resistances in earlier studies.

High kernel elongation (HKE) is one of the high-quality characteristics in rice. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of ageing treatments, gene actions, and inheritance pattern of kernel elongation on cooking quality in two populations of rice and determine the path of influence and contribution of other traits to kernel elongation in rice. Two rice populations derived from crosses between MR219 × Mahsuri Mutan and MR219 × Basmati 370 were used.

Economic surveillance for securing water projects driven by non-conventional energy sources is a challenge. The carrying out of these initiatives in economies based on liberalized markets faces governments against the need for guaranteed profits. As water availability has become a relevant global problem, and desalination an energy-intensive demand solution, it is common to combine both kinds of technologies, renewable energy systems and desalination plants.

Cowpeas provide food and income for many small-holder farmers in Africa. Cowpea grains contain substantial quantities of protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and fiber. In areas where subsistence farming is practiced, cowpea's protein is cheaper than that obtained from other sources such as fish, meat, poultry or dairy products and combines well with cereal grains in diets.
