作物育种

Having discovered the bio-chemical basis of Striga's parasitic relationship with sorghum, our laureate's breeding program at Purdue produced many sorghum varieties resistant to drought and to Striga with yields 10 times greater than local varieties.

他发现了斯特赖加寄生于高粱作物的生化基础之后，在普渡大学开展了育种研究项目，培育出许多耐旱并抗杂草的高粱新品种，这些新品种高粱的产量比当地原来的高粱产量增加了十倍。

Breeders rely on these pairing-control genes to ensure that soybean varieties carrying the technology include the full suite of resistance genes as well as genes that lead to higher yields, said Rick Vierling, adjunct professor of agronomy and director of the genetics program at the Indiana Crop Improvement Association.

印第安那州作物改良协会农业经济副教授、基因项目主任里克·维尔林说，育种公司依靠这种配对控制基因可以确保基于该技术的大豆品种含有全部抗病基因及高产基因。

Most traits for crop breeding are quantitative in nature, which are controlled by polygenes. It is very important for crop improvement to accurately identify and finely map quantitative trait loci.

农作物大多数性状都是由多基因控制的数量性状，对数量性状基因座(quantitative trait loci， QTL)进行鉴定和定位对作物遗传育种具有重要意义。

The Effects of fertilizer on the growth and dry weight of sorghum hybrid grass were studied by pot experiment.

高粱杂交草作为一种新的饲料作物，2 0世纪 80年代以来受到了我国高粱育种家的重视，钱章强等在国内首例育成了高粱杂交草皖草 2号并已审定推广[1～ 3] 。

If regulators could treat cisgenic plants the same as conventionally bred p lants, cisgenesis will become an effective tool of crop improvement in use of wild germplasm.

如果转基因条例能够将同源转基因品种视同为常规育种品种，同源转基因将会成为人们利用野生资源进行作物改良的一种有效手段。

But we don't care about Battlegrounds.

但我们并不在乎沙场中的显露。

Ah! don't mention it, the butcher's shop is a horror.

啊！不用提了。提到肉，真是糟透了。
