Accurate assessments of genetic gains ensuing from plant breeding for the most important agronomic characteristics in Nordic spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) are not available. Hence this research was aimed to determine the rate of genetic improvement in the Nordic barley breeding pool. This st...

Genetic gains in nordic spring barley breeding (1930searly 1990s)
Phenotypic diversity for agronomic characteristics was determined in an experiment without fertilizer in 1998 in 41 two-row and 21 six-row winter barley accessions, provided by the Nordic Gene Bank, at Højbakkegård (Denmark). There were significant differences among these 62 accessions for spring...

Assessment of phenotypic variation of winter barley in Scandinavia
Variation in agronomic and quality characteristics was investigated in 220 Nordic spring barley cultivars across distinct environments (6 locations during 3 years) in the Nordic Region of Europe. The objectives of this research were to determine the importance of the genotype by environment inter...

Analysis of the genotypebyenvironment interaction of spring barley tested in the Nordic Region of Europe: relationships among stability statistics for grain yield
A phenotypic diversity index (PDI) was calculated using 10 agronomic characteristics recorded in 90 accessions of 2-row spring barleys and 29accessions of 6-row spring barleys grown in the Nordic Region. The PDI ranged from 0.0308 to 0.6245 in 2-row barley accessions and from0.0314 to 0.7016 in 6...

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...

Classification of African plantain landraces and banana cultivars using a phenotypic distance index of quantitative descriptors
Genetic diversity amongst 76 plantain landraces has been studied using RAPD analysis at two levels of intensity and compared with groupings based on phenotypic indices and morphotype. There was a good correlation (R2=0.78) between estimates of genetic diversity based on 76 RAPD bands and 164 RAPD...
