摘要:
Polymorphic maize DNA loci useful for genotyping between at least two varieties of maize. Sequences of the loci are useful for designing primers and probe oligonucleotides for detecting polymorphisms in maize DNA. Polymorphisms are useful for genotyping applications in maize. The polymorphic markers are useful to establish marker/trait associations, e.g. in linkage disequilibrium mapping and association studies, positional cloning and transgenic applications, marker-aided breeding and marker-assisted selection, hybrid prediction and identity by descent studies. The polymorphic markers are also useful in mapping libraries of DNA clones, e.g. for maize QTLs and genes linked to polymorphisms.
摘要:
A system for determining performance data of plants growing in a field. The system comprises a mass flow meter for generating mass data related to the mass of plant product passed through the mass flow meter, and that is communicatively connected to a computer based data processing system; a temperature sensor for determining the temperature of the air adjacent the mass flow meter or within the mass flow meter, and that communicatively connected to the computer based data processing system, and a moisture sensor for determining the moisture of air adjacent the mass flow meter or within the mass flow meter, and that is communicatively connected to the computer based data processing system. The computer based data processing system is structured and operable to utilize the mass data, the air temperature and the air moisture to determine a yield of the plants from which the plant product was harvested.

Polymorphic soybean DNA loci useful for genotyping between at least two varieties of soybean. Sequences of the loci are useful for providing the basis for designing primers and probe oligonucleotides for detecting polymorphisms in soybean DNA. Polymorphisms are useful for genotyping applications in soybean. The polymorphic markers are useful to establish marker/trait associations, e.g. in linkage disequilibrium mapping and association studies, positional cloning and transgenic applications, marker-aided breeding and marker-assisted selection, hybrid prediction and identity by descent studies. The polymorphic markers are also useful in mapping libraries of DNA clones, e.g. for soybean QTLs and genes linked to polymorphisms.

Polymorphic corn DNA loci useful for genotyping between at least two varieties of corn. Sequences of the loci are useful for providing the basis for designing primers and probe oligonucleotides for detecting polymorphisms in maize DNA. Polymorphisms are useful for genotyping applications in corn. The polymorphic markers are useful to establish marker/trait associations, e.g. in linkage disequilibrium mapping and association studies, positional cloning and transgenic applications, marker-aided breeding and marker-assisted selection, hybrid prediction and identity by descent studies. The polymorphic markers are also useful in mapping libraries of DNA clones, e.g. for corn QTLs and genes linked to polymorphisms.
摘要:
The present invention relates to breeding methods to enhance the germplasm of a plant. The methods describe the identification and accumulation of preferred haplotype genomic regions in the germplasm of breeding populations of maize (Zea mays) and soybean (Glycine max). The invention also relates to maize and soybean plants comprising preferred haplotypes.
摘要:
An apparatus (100) for measuring stalk strength and/or root strength of a plant is provided. In accordance with various embodiments, the apparatus (100) includes a conveyer (101) operably connected to a motor (107) for circulatorily driving the conveyer (101) around a plurality of guide devices (106). At least one pulling finger (103) is coupled to the conveyer (101). Each pulling finger (103) is structured such that, when the apparatus (100) is positioned adjacent the plant stalk and the conveyor (101) is driven around the guide devices (106), each pulling finger (103) will contact and pull a plant stalk as each pulling finger (103) travels around the guide devices (106). The apparatus (100) additionally includes a force sensor (109) for measuring resistive force encountered by the motor (107) as each pulling finger (103) pulls the plant stalk.
