Sporophytic and gametophytic components of thermotolerance affected by pollen selection
Article Abstract:
A study of the variance of several factors that contribute to plant thermotolerance such as growth rate of tube, heat shock protein synthesis and pollen germination with male gametophytic selection reveals that there is no significant variation in the gametophytic component of thermotolerance such as tube growth and stability of the cellular membrane. There is an enhancement in the capacity of the pollen to germinate and in the expression of heat shock proteins, indicating the implications of pollen selection in regulating the gametophytic and sporophytic components of thermotolerance.

LINKEM
Article Abstract:
LINKEM was developed in response to a need for a software package that extended the scope of plant genetic applications and avoid making substantial changes to the current LINKAGE-1 program. The new Fortran-77 program follows MS-DOS applications and generates data analysis for any type of allele cross. Analysis flows from input of parental genotype, which allows future integration with other linkage combinations.
