Of late, we have been hearing of Epigenetics as a major determiner of traits being expressed. If this is beyond genetic control, or if it is, then how does it differ from regular genes being...

"A total of 67 and 35 QTL were detected under water-limited and well-watered conditions, respectively. The favorable alleles to improve the traits exhibited partial or over-dominance effects".This...

Contrasting parents for sucking pest were crossed. There were 4 crosses. Now, there are a very few advanced generation (F8) progenies in each of the 4 crosses, about 8-10 in each. Within the...

Have we forgotten the art and science of selection? Conventional methods of breeding? The requirement of huge segregating populations seems to be the only deterrent in going in for individual...

I feel, highly focused conventional breeding methods give better target results than a MAS exercise with all the cost:benefit worked out. Maybe, there would be a time loss in conventional...
