Proso millet ( Panicummiliaceum ) has highwater use efficiency (WUE), a short growing-season, and is highly adapted to a semi-arid climate. Genomic resources for proso millet are very limited. Large numbers of DNA markers and other genomic tools in proso mill…

Improved seed composition in soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] for protein and oil quality is one of the major goals of soybean breeders. A group of genes that act as quantitative traits with their effects can alter protein, oil, palmitic, stearic, oleic, lin…

There is little information on the efficacy of mesotrione for the control of broadleaved weeds in spring planted cereals under Ontario environmental conditions. A total of eight studies were conducted in Ontario over a two - year period (2010 to 2011) to eval…

The presence of grassland biomes and species cannot be predicted by examining bottom up causes such as precipitation and temperature. Top down causes including herbivory and fire seem to be major controlling aspects with other factors secondary. We examined s…

Rapid emergence and a vigorous growth prevent the seed tubers from infections by soil microbes and allow a rapid interception of solar radiation. In this work , the effect of the potassium phosphites (KPhi) applied to seed tubers of two potato cultivars on cr…

Mapping gene(s) underlying a specific trait offers an opportunity to plant breeders to apply marker assisted selection. All gene mapping approaches except LD mapping use family based segregation populations developed by crossing two or more parents. These fam…
