A recessive gene for revolute cotyledons in cucumber

Article Abstract:

The genetics of the revolute cotyledons trait in the cucumber inbred NCG-093 was investigated in an experiment. NCG-093 was crossed with inbred WI 2757 to produce F1, F2, and BC1 generations for evaluation. The BC1A(F1xWI 2757) progeny had normal cotyledons and the segregation of the BCB(f1xNCG-093) fit a ratio of 1 normal:1 revolute cotyledons. Likewise, the F1 progeny expressed normal cotyledons and the segregation of the F2 progeny fit a ratio of 3 normal:1 revolute cotyledons. These suggested that revolute cotyledons in NCG-093 was conferred by revolute cotyledons-2.

PATHSAS: A SAS computer program for path coefficient analysis of quantitative data

Article Abstract:

PATHSAS is a SAS computer program that users can utilize to carry out path coefficient analysis of quantitative data. The computer program features a startup file for identifying variables and the path analysis macro. It also includes a file discussing the operation of the program and bootstrap analysis to determine total correlation estimates. In addition, PATHSAS can be used to compute the confidence interval of each total correlation estimate.

SASGENE: a SAS computer program for genetic analysis of gene segregation and linkage

Article Abstract:

A SASGENE computer program was developed for genetic analysis of gene segregation and linkage. It consists of two SAS macros namely, SGENE and Linkage. The SGENE performs single gene goodness-of-fit tests of observed frequency data while, LINKAGE performs analysis of gene linkage relationships. The program is being distributed for free. Files can be obtained from the World Wide Web or from T.C. Wehner.
