Importance of epistasis as the genetic basis of heterosis in an elite rice hybrid
Sibin Yu,Jianxiong Li,Caiguo Xu,Y. F. Tan,Y. J. Gao,Xianghua Li,Qifa Zhang,M. A. Saghai Maroof +7 more
TL;DR: The results provide strong evidence that epistasis plays a major role as the genetic basis of heterosis in an elite rice hybrid by using a molecular linkage map with 150 segregating loci covering the entire rice genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extraordinarily polymorphic microsatellite DNA in barley: species diversity, chromosomal locations, and population dynamics
TL;DR: Allelic diversity was greater in wild than in cultivated barley and surveys of two generations of Composite Cross II, an experimental population of cultivated barley, showed that few of the alleles present in the 28 parents survived into generation F53, whereas some infrequent alleles reached high frequencies.
Journal ArticleDOI
A molecular, isozyme and morphological map of the barley (Hordeum vulgare) genome.

Bollinger,Steven J. Knapp,Liu Bh,Mark E. Sorrells,M. Heun,Jerome D. Franckowiak,David L. Hoffman,R. Skadsen,Brian J. Steffenson +21 more
TL;DR: A map of the barley genome consisting of 295 loci was constructed, which includes 152 cDNA restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), 114 genomic DNA RFLP, 14 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD), five isozyme, two morphological, one disease resistance and seven specific amplicon polymorphism
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns of cytosine methylation in an elite rice hybrid and its parental lines, detected by a methylation-sensitive amplification polymorphism technique.
TL;DR: The results clearly demonstrate that the MSAP technique is highly efficient for large-scale detection of cytosine methylation in the rice genome and believe that the technique can be adapted for use in other plant species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) in soybean: species diversity, inheritance, and near-isogenic line analysis.
TL;DR: AFLP analysis of four soybean near-isogenic lines (NILs) identified three AFLP markers putatively linked to a virus resistance gene from two sources, illustrating the relatively low genetic diversity present in cultivated soybean.
