The phenomenon of heterosis is widely used in hybrid breeding programmes, despite the fact that no satisfactory molecular explanation is available. Estimators of quantitative genetic components like GCA and SCA values are tools used by the plant breeder to identify superior parental individuals and to search for high heterosis combinations. Obtaining these estimators usually requires the creation...
Several genotypes of Lolium perenne (2n = 2x = 14) were screenedfor the production of 2n eggs. In each cross a diploid genotype, used asfemale parent, was pollinated with a tetraploid genotype. All interploidycrosses were made in isolation cages. Flow cytometrical analysis of theprogeny of 154 diploid plants revealed 28 tetraploid descendants. Theseoffspring plants were harvested on 15 different diploid...
Western Europe is the world's greatest leek producing and consuming region. Belgium is situated in the centre of Western Europe and can be considered as a genepool of landraces of leek. Although the commercial varieties nowadays take over the successes of Belgian landraces, this paper deals with the breeding potential of the Belgian landraces. Typing the Belgian landraces was done in an observation...
