Genetic studies for yield and related traits in micro and macrosperma exotic lentil genotypes
Authors: Ch. Muhammad Rafiq, Sadia Kaukab, Aqsa Tahir, Masood Qadir, Busharat Hussain, Shakeel Ahmad Anwar, Muhammad Tariq Mahmood, Ali Aziz, Amir Hameed and Khalid Mehmood Mughal
With respect to seed size lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) species usually are distributed into two main groups namely Microsperma (<2.5 g/100-seeds) with small rounded seeds and Macrosperma (>2.5 g/100-seeds) with larger and more flattened seeds. The seeds/pod and pods/plant will decrease as the seed size increases that adversely affect the.. Read More»

Correlation study of resistance components in the selection of Capsicum genotypes resistant to the fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides
Authors: A.C. Maracahipes, J.W.S. Correa, P.E. Teodoro, K.L. Ara�ºjo, M.A.A. Barelli and L.G. Neves
Anthracnose is among the major diseases of the Capsicum culture. It is caused by different species of the genus Colletotrichum, which may result in major damages to the cultivation of this genus. Studies aiming to search for cultivars resistant to diseases are essential to reduce financial and agricultural losses. The objectiv.. Read More»

Correlation of growth-related traits and their effects on body weight of the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain)
Authors: H.Y. Ma, C.Y. Ma, L.B. Ma, Z. Xu, N.N. Feng and Z.G. Qiao
In this study, we analyzed the correlation of 20 growth-related traits and their effects on body weight of Scylla paramamosain. The correlation coefficients in all trait pairs were significantly high, ranging from 0.551 to 0.999. Among 19 X-Y pairs, the correlation coefficient between traits X1 and Y was the highest, whereas that between X13 and Y was the.. Read More»

Contribution of morphoagronomic traits to grain yield and earliness in grain sorghum
Authors: K.J. da Silva, P.E. Teodoro, C.B. de Menezes, M.P.M. J�ºlio,V.F. de Souza, M.J. da Silva, L.D. Pimentel and A. Bor�©m
Given the importance of selecting lines to obtain hybrids, we aimed to verify the relationship between morphological traits that can be used as the criteria for the selection of sorghum lines with high grain yield and earliness. A total of 18 traits were evaluated in 160 sorghum elite lines, in an incomplete block design with .. Read More»

Characteristics of growth traits and their effects on body weight of G1 individuals in the mud crab (Scylla paramamosain)
Authors: W. Jiang, H.Y. Ma, C.Y. Ma, S.J. Li, Y.X. Liu, Z.G. Qiao and L.B. Ma
The mud crab (Scylla paramamosain) is considered a potentially important marine crab species for selective breeding. Here, we first examined sex ratio and differences in 16 growth traits between females and males in a G1 population of S. paramamosain, and we then analyzed the correlation between these growth ..

Path analysis of agro-industrial traits in sweet sorghum
Authors: G.M.R. Lombardi, J.A.R. Nunes, R.A.C. Parrella, D.H.L. Teixeira1, A.T. Bruzi, N.N.L. Dur�£es and T.G. Fagundes
Sweet sorghum has considerable potential for ethanol production due to its succulent stalks that contain directly fermentable sugars. Since many traits need to be considered in the selection process to breed superior cultivars for ethanol production, then correlations between the traits might be of use to help the breeder define optimal improvement strate..

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»
