Prediction of QTL genotypes and trait phenotypes using FlexQTL™: A pedigree-based analysis approach

Sujeet Verma*; Vance M Whitaker

    Predicting phenotypes and QTL genotypes is of great value to breeding programs, especially those that make hundreds of crosses every year. Determining parents to make cross combinations is a complex process, and a breeder will use all available information to make that determination. Likewise, any available predictions of performance or of QTL genotypes for seedlings can be used in selection.


Aspects of xenobiotics phytoremediation and role of endophytic bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal association

Qudsia Kanwal*; Naeem Shahid; Sehar Shad

    Xenobiont entrance in soil and food chain is a major concern of present era. Enhanced legislation, environmental management system and risk control procedures leads to green and clean technologies. Therefore phytoremediation is a best suitable option. The efficacy of phytoremediation techniques depend upon selection of plant, fungal and bacterial partner and situation of contaminated sites. Each type has its own benefit and harms and can be selected by phytoremediation decision tree.

    Introduction: Breeders are interested in screening and development of the open-pollinated population in maize. especially high adaptability to the environment and high grain yield.


Soybean (Glycine max) NF-Y (Nuclear Factor of Y Box) gene family and its potential role under stress conditions and nodulation

Cabreira-Cagliari C; Bohn B; Dias NCF; Fagundes DGS; Margis-Pinheiro M; Bodanese-Zanettini MH; Cagliari A*

    The Nuclear Factor of Y box (NF-Y) is a transcription factor composed of three subunits (NF-YA, NF-YB, and NF-YC) involved in the regulation of genes related to physiological processes. In plants, NF-Y genes act in development, in addition to biotic and abiotic stresses response. Regarding Glycine max (Gm), the NF-Y genes are poorly investigated. In this important crop, the characterization of genes related to stresses represents an important material for improvement of cultivars.
