When building genetic maps, it is necessary to choose from several marker ordering algorithms and criteria, and the choice is not always simple. In this study, we evaluate the efficiency of algorithms ...

MANHATTAN, Kansas -- A study on a sorghum population at Kansas State University has helped researchers better understand why a crop hybrid often performs better than either of its parent lines, known ...

A new study of sorghum explores the genetics of heterosis, the process by which hybrid plants perform better than the parent varieties used to create them. The new study fills in some of the gaps that ...

PRELIMINARY linkage tests with the house mouse mutant ‘crinkled’ 1 showed a deficiency of recombinations between crinkled and flexed-tail 2 in repulsion inter-cross matings. Owing to a serious ...
