Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) is the causal agent of a commonly occurring disease of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] that can be effectively controlled through the deployment of single, dominant genes known as Rsv genes, ...

Rapid sequence rearrangements along with alterations in cytosine-directed methylation patterns follow allopolyploid formation in several plant species. The occurrence of similar changes is yet to be examined in detail ...

Paspalum is a noteworthy grass genus due to the forage quality of most species, the total number of approximately 330 species, and the high proportion of those that reproduce via apomixis. Harnessing apomictic reproduction ...

Thrasya petrosa (Trin.) Chase is the most widespread species of a grass genus indigenous to the New World. Genetic systems in diploid (2n = 2x = 20) and tetraploid (2n = 4x = 40) races of T. petrosa were investigated. The ...

Knowledge of the breeding system is a fundamental step in any program dealing with genetic improvement of wild grasses for forage purposes. This information is essential for Paspalum, a large genus with a variety of ...
