of Conservation of Agrobiodiversity in India Sanjeev Saxena, Vikas Chandak, Shrabani B. Ghosh, Riya Sinha, Neeru Jain and Anil K. Gupta Introduction Plant germplasm is a nonrenewable natural resource indispensable for the sustenance of human life on this earth. The story of human civilization is actually also a

Evaluation of Safflower Germplasm for Ornamental Use

by Vicki L. Bradley, Robert L. Guenthner, Richard C. Johnson, Richard M. Hannan
"... Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L., Asteraceae), is an annual or winter annual herbaceous plant that is adapted for growth in hot and dry environments. Plants often have many spines on leaves and bracts, although plants with few spines exist. Young plants form rosettes that tolerate temperatures as ..."

displaying hues of yellow, orange, red, and rarely white, which darken when dry (Li and Mündel 1996). Safflower is mostly selfpollinating in the absence of pollinators (Knowles 1969). The Western Regional Plant Introduction Station (WRPIS) is a part of the United States National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS

Safflower germplasm: past, present, and future

CHARACTERIZATION AND FODDER PRODUCTION POTENTIAL OF LOCAL COWPEA GERMPLASM

by Asim Muhammad , Mohammad Akmal Khan , Shah Faisal Mohammad
"... ABSTRACT In order to improve the acute scarcity of fresh fodder in the country, four local fodder legumes (cowpea) namely CP-1, CP-8, CP-31 and CP-801 were compared for plant characteristics and fresh fodder production potential at NWFP Agricultural University, Peshawar. CP-1 required minimum days ..."

INTRODUCTION Although livestock is one of the major component of sustainable agriculture in NWFP particularly in mountainous areas, yet the scarcity of fodder

MOLECULAR APPROACHES FOR THE CHARACTERISATION OF GHANAIAN AVOCADO PEAR (PERSEA AMERICANA MILL.) GERMPLASM

by K J Taah , P G Alderson , J B Power
"... ABSTRACT In forested regions of southern Ghana many edible forms of avocado pear exist, but offer different fruit and fruiting quality characteristics. This is the result of unregulated seed-based propagation, use of volunteer seedlings as planting materials by farmers and germplasm introductions f ..."

"... Abstract Open-field burning of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) post-harvest residue, which maintains grass seed yield and stand longevity, has been eliminated in Washington and is restricted in Idaho and Oregon, USA. Our objective was to develop Kentucky bluegrass germplasm that has sustainab ..."

Plant Introduction (PI) collection, 228 accessions were evaluated in a field trial and a core collection was developed. This collection was then evaluated

RESEARCH ARTICLE Fine Mapping and Characterization of Candidate Genes that Control Resistance to Cercospora sojina K. Hara in Two Soybean Germplasm Accessions

by Anh-tung Pham¤a Donna K. Harris, Jonathan Serrano, Hussein Abdel-haleem, Perry Cregan, Qijian Song, Roger Boerma, Zenglu Li
"... Frogeye leaf spot (FLS), caused by the fungusCercospora sojina K. Hara, may cause a sig-nificant yield loss to soybean growers in regions with a warm and humid climate. Two soy-bean accessions, PI 594891 and PI 594774, were identified to carry a high level of resistance similar to that conditioned b ..."

"... Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is the most damaging pestof soybean in the United States based on yield loss estimates (Wrather and Koenning, 2006). Because of the importance of SCN, there has been focused research on host resistance to this pest. This research has led to the identification of at least ..."
