(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)A diallel analysis of eight upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) genotypes was conducted in the field over two years to determine the potential for improvement in within-boll seed yield components and fiber quality ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, )A study was undertaken to determine if phenotypic selection based upon the number of kernels would be effective. The second objective was to determine the most effective means of increasing the number of kernels per panicle. ...

(2018-11-26)Plant breeders must improve the efficiency of their programs to meet the needs of a rising world population and a rapidly changing climate. Proximal and remote sensing technologies stand as an attractive option for breeders, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, )During 1963 and 1964 composites from a reciprocal recurrent selection breeding program were evaluated to determine the effectiveness of the program in improving combining ability and maintaining phenotypic variability ...
-
(2014-05-27)The production of interspecific or intergeneric progeny using sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is greatly enhanced by the presence of the iap (Inhibition of Alien Pollen) allele. Hybridization between S. bicolor ...

(2019-11-11)In 2018, the production value of watermelon in the United States was $657 million out of 2.0 Mt harvested. That same year, Texas was second largest watermelon producing states with 0.40 Mt harvested. The first objective ...
-
(2014-04-23)The U.S. cotton industry has become predominantly an export market which requires a higher standard of fiber quality than does the domestic market. To remain competitive, U.S. cotton must meet the quality standards demanded ...
