The pedigree analysis of the 86 released cultivars, developed through hybridization, indicated that though 95 ancestors were involved in their development, only 10 accessions contributed to 35% of the genetic base [ 3].
Hundreds of new cultivars developed here that were far superior to their Asian and Indian parents.
Synapsis, the graduate student organization of Cornell's Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, is selling seed packets of select vegetable cultivars developed by Cornell's breeding programs.
The wine and grape industries rely on me as a source for information not only on the new cultivars developed in my program, but also on the full range of wine and table grape cultivars available on today's market.
Furthermore, many elite cultivars developed in Taiwan have been illegally introduced to China, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and so on.
82 F3 plants derived from a cross between these cultivars developed by single seed descent method were used for DNA genotyping.
Most of the rice cultivars developed at IRRI possess one or two of the major resistance genes and the variety IR64 has many QTLs and confers strong resistance to BPH.
In the Experiment II, both YN and Y0 were significantly increased while no significant trend was observed for ∆YN in representative hybrid rice cultivars developed during different phases since 1996 (Fig. 2a c).
Fig. 2 Trends in grain yield with N fertilizer (YN, a), grain yield without N fertilizer (Y0, b), and increase in grain yield with N fertilizer (∆YN, c) of representative hybrid rice cultivars developed during different phases in China since 1996.
A similar trend was also observed for SCN-resistant cultivars developed by private industry.
