Albinism in Plants: A Major Bottleneck in Wide Hybridization, Androgenesis and Doubled Haploid Culture (2009, background): “Phylogenetic distance between the parents is positively correlated; as distance increases, albinism increases (Sharma, 1995).”
Synthetic Hexaploids: Harnessing Species of the Primary Gene Pool for Wheat Improvement (2013, background): “…genetic resource exploitation for crop improvement have been spread over the past few decades and go back to Dewey (1984), Sharma and Gill (1983), Sharma (1995), Gill et al. (2006), Mujeeb-Kazi et al. (2008), Trethowan and MujeebKazi (2008) who documented the contributions of the unique…”
Biotechnology approaches to overcome biotic and abiotic stress constraints in legumes (2006, background): “16 Wide hybridization depends on various factors, and according to Sharma (1995) can 17 be as wide as one can make them.”
Breeding Perennial Grain Crops (2002, methodology): “Many wheat/Elymus hybrids have been made in recent years (see Jiang et al., 1994; Sharma, 1995), and addition, substitution, and translocation lines have been developed (Jiang et al., 1993; Gill et al., 1988; Morris et al., 1990).”
