Advances in Host Plant and Rhizobium Genomics to Enhance Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation in Grain Legumes (2015, background): “…genetic variation accounts for nodule number, nodule weight, nitrogenase activity, and shoot weight in cowpea (Miller et al., 1986), while non-additive genetic variation explains nodule number and shoot weight, and additive genetic variation for nodule weight in common bean (Franco et al., 2001).”
Achievements and limitations of contemporary common bean breeding using conventional and molecular approaches (2009, methodology): “Caixeta Franco et al. (2001) also recommended the use of recurrent selection to increase the frequency of alleles associated with enhanced biological nitrogen fixation.”
Combining ability studies in tropical sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) (2004, background): “According to Marilia et al. (2001), the SCA effect alone has limited value for parental choice in breeding programs.”
