(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)A study was initiated in the spring of 1973 to evaluate the effectiveness of a cyclic gametic selection prodedure in Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench in extracting superior gametes from a random-mating population and the ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Five selected sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) lines, R473, Polygynaceous line (PGY), White seed mutant (WS), South Dakota line (Experimental 3-58) (SD), and Double haploid of 'Tx403' (DH) were studied for mode of ...
-
(2023-02-15)Genomic prediction has shown to be an effective tool for plant and animal breeders, allowing for prediction of phenotypes and breeding values. For crops that have vast acres planted in the United States, such as maize, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)A laboratory technique utilizing a thermogradient plate was used to determine the effect of temperature extremes on germination of different Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench genotypes and the inheritance of base temperature. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)Performance and adaptation measurements were obtained for 88 F(,1) sorghum hybrids which were produced by selection from the cross (RT x 7000 x 77CS2), 22 low and 22 high base metabolic temperature (BMT) males and then ...

(2023-04-21)Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Vasinfectum race 4 (FOV4) is a vascular disease identified in multiple cotton producing areas in the United States. Host plant resistance (HPR) is currently the most effective control measure ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1981)Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench kernel fresh weight accumulation (FWA) and dry matter accumulation (DMA) were modeled in two experiments. Experiment I (1977, 1978) studied different endosperm types while Experiment II (1979, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)Increased utilization of novel biomass sources for energy conversion schemes has become a significant portion of energy related research and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is often considered a viable potential ...
-
(2022-07-26)Pecan (Carya illinoinensis) is an important tree nut species in the United States with average annual in-shell nut production value of $430 million in 2020 according to the NASS. The present research characterized a core ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1983)Performance tests, growth analysis, as well as evaluations of combining ability and heterosis were carried out during 1981 and 1982 seasons to determine morphological, physiological, genetic and adaptational differences ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)This experiment was designed to determine if the same genes or blocks of genes operate and respond in the same ways in differing plant types. Six selected breeding stocks of Upland cotton, ranging in stature from semidwarf ...

-
(2019-08-21)Genetic improvements of Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) must be continuous if the crop is to remain biologically and economically viable. The notoriously low genetic diversity found among Upland cottons constrains ...

(Texas A&M University, 1958)
-
(2020-04-22)Remote-sensing classification in agriculture provides advanced techniques for expanding the capacity of high-throughput phenotyping in plant breeding and optimizing field management in precision agriculture. Methods applied ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1984)The objective of this study was to determine the correlated and direct responses to divergent mass selection for days-to-anthesis (DTA) in a Mexican land-variety belonging to the race Chalqueno. Ten cycles of selection and ...
