Overall, our results provide further evidence that allelic variation at CO contributes to variation in HD in perennial ryegrass, specifically within a large collection of breeding families.
A core set of 191 accessions (Additional file 1: Table S1), chosen from a large collection of breeding lines, old varieties and landrace selections by Cericola et al. [ 17], was established to represent germplasm grown in east Asia (EA accessions) and in the Mediterranean basin (WE).
The barley lines used to assess TSP marker amplification and for SNP genotyping were based on a collection of released varieties, breeding materials and mapping populations obtained from the University of Adelaide barley breeding program and included doubled haploid, F1 and F3 progeny.
A collection of indica elite breeding lines and cultivars assembled in IRRI was used to test the usefulness of 39 well characterized yield related genes/QTL.
With the successful adaptation of the genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) method in soybean, Sonah et al. and Bastien et al. [ 30, 31] has performed a GWAS in a collection of 130 soybean breeding lines for resistance to Sclerotinia stem rot (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum).
A collection of backcross-derived advanced breeding lines consisting of resistant lines, susceptible sibs, and resistant sources were used in this study.
Higher proportion and extension of mesocotyl elongation were observed in a population of landraces and varieties from the mini-core collection of Chinese rice germplasm and a collection of parental varieties for drought tolerant rice breeding.
To confirm the genetic aetiology of SR and to establish a collection of cases for molecular investigations, a breeding trial is recommended where a sire that have had a SR affected offspring is mated to closely related females, e.g. some of his own daughters.
Previously, a collection of 488 Japanese potato germplasm including 84 varieties, 378 breeding clones and 26 landraces was investigated for the cytoplasm types.
The 8 accessions used in the analysis were selected as the most diverse materials (based on pedigree, phenotype data and some initial marker analysis) from a pool of breeding lines and germplasm collection available to us.
Born into a middle-class family, he maintains a very pleasant standard of living himself -- with three homes, a horse-breeding ranch in Idaho and a collection of 85 vintage automobiles.
