Correlation and heritability analysis in breeding of camu-camu [Myrciaria dubia (Kunth) McVaugh]
Between 2002 and 2011 in Peru and Brazil, there have been made studies of correlation and heritability in search of tools for genetic improvement of camu-camu. This work is intended to systematize successful information aiming at the consolidation of criteria for the selection of higher plants. The author evaluated basic collections, progenies and clones existing in experimental centers belonging to INIA (Instituto...

Construction and analysis of a subtractive cDNA library of Medicago sativa L. under drought stress
Drought is the most significant factor reducing plant productivity. To further study the stress-induced adaptive mechanisms of alfalfa at the molecular level, a drought-induced suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) cDNA library was constructed. Initially, 225Escherichia coli colonies were obtained. By removing the vector sequences and the sequences with poor quality, 94 expressed sequence tags (EST) were...
