Genetic Enhancement of Resistance to Alternaria Leaf Blight in Sunflower through Cyclic Gametophytic and Sporophytic Selections
2007-03-01
Abstract excerpt
Only partial resistance has been reported so far in Helianthus species for leaf blight caused by Alternaria helianthi (Hansf.). Therefore, in the present study one to two cycles of recurrent selection based on sporophytic and gametophytic selection was effected to increase resistance to leaf blight in the base population. The base population was synthesized by random mating five diverse early generation breeding l...
