Fungal foliar diseases can severely affect the productivity of peanut crop worldwide. Late leaf spot is most frequent disease and a major problem in Brazil many other tropical countries. Only partial resistance to fungal has been found cultivated peanut, but high resistances have described on secondary gene pool.
A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the performance of wheat genotypes against spot blotch disease from November 2016 April 2017. Experimental designed in Alpha Lattice Design with 2 replications and 20 as treatments. Area Under Disease Progress Curve (AUDPC) value, days heading, maturity, plant height, spike per m2, grain spike, Thousand Kernel Weight (TKW), yield were examined. Negative correlation observed between different AUDPC i.e. -0.17322. Genotype BL 4699 NL 1247 found be...
Abstract Wild relatives comprise a diverse genetic source from which to introduce beneficial alleles for peanut breeding. However, when using wild species breeding, unadapted agronomic characteristics are often co‐inherited along with favorable traits. Previously, an advanced backcross population was developed cross between Arachis hypogaea and the wild‐derived induced allotetraploid ( batizocoi × stenosperma ) 4 x incorporate nematode resistance genes into elite peanut. We observed...
Abstract Pollen cross-contamination has been a major problem for maize breeders. Mechanical methods applied to avoid are largely ineffective and time-consuming. Cross incompatibility barriers genetic factors involved in fertilization that can be used as an effective method prevent pollen cross-contamination. Teosinte crossing barrier 1 (Tcb1) is cross-incompatibility system which silks possessing dominant Tcb1-s reject the recessive allele (tcb1) . However, successful occurs when falls upon...
