Molecular markers such as RFLPs exist in almost limitless number in all organisms, and these could be very useful in monitoring the loci of genes that control important traits, as well as in studying genome evolution and structure. In cowpea, a genome map based mainly on RFLP markers has been dev...

Proper classification and establishment of relationships between and within Musa taxonomic clusters will be important tools for the genetic improvement of plantain and banana. This paper assesses the value of a phenotypic diversity index, based on 16 quantitative descriptors, for germplasm cluste...

The DNA genomes of isolates of rice tungro bacilliform virus from Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand were cloned and compared with that of the type isolate from the Philippines. Restriction endonuclease maps revealed differences between the isolates and cross-hybridization showed...

Success of seed development following sexual crosses is primarily dependent on proper endosperm function and development. The failure to produce triploids, or “triploid block” in 4x×2x crosses served as the impetus for numerous studies of embryo and endosperm to attempt to explain cross failure. ...

Mapping of trypanotolerance QTL in two F2 resource populations generated by crossing BALB/c and A/J with C57BLl6J has previously been achieved by Kemp et al., (1997). The subsequent fine mapping using the advanced intercross line (AIL) found the same to be true in F6 using same strains of mice (I...

At least four different genotypic groups of Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense have been described based upon profiles of iso-enzymes, nucleotide composition of the highly repetitive satellite DNA, restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of conserved nuclear and kinetoplast DNA sequenc...

The efficacy of the few available trypanocides is being seriously compromised by the emergence and spread of drug resistant trypanosome strains. Elucidation of the molecular genetic basis of this phenotype may contribute to an understanding of the mechanisms of development of resistance to the tr...
