1. Seedling Color Variation: Study the genetic basis of variation in seedling color and identify potential traits for selection.
2. Leaf Shape Diversity: Explore the range of leaf shapes present in a plant population and determine their heritability.
3. Flower Phenology: Monitor flowering time and duration to understand environmental and genetic influences on reproduction.
4. Fruit Color and Size: Assess fruit color and size variation, investigate their inheritance patterns, and identify desirable traits.
5. Seed Dormancy: Determine the duration and depth of seed dormancy in different genotypes and explore methods to break dormancy.
6. Plant Height and Architecture: Measure plant height and canopy architecture to identify traits related to lodging resistance and productivity.
7. Disease Resistance Screening: Inoculate plants with specific pathogens to identify resistant or tolerant genotypes.
8. Herbicide Tolerance: Evaluate plant response to different herbicides and determine the potential for genetic resistance.
9. Drought Tolerance: Subject plants to controlled drought conditions to assess their ability to withstand water stress.
10. Salt Tolerance: Expose plants to saline conditions to determine their tolerance to soil salinity.
11. Cold Tolerance: Measure plant performance under controlled freezing temperatures to identify cold-hardy genotypes.
12. Heat Tolerance: Subject plants to elevated temperatures to assess their ability to cope with heat stress.
13. Pollinator Preference: Observe pollinator behavior and determine the traits that influence their preference for specific plant genotypes.
14. Pollination Mechanisms: Study the different pollination mechanisms used by a plant species and their impact on reproductive success.
15. Self-Fertilization Rate: Determine the proportion of seeds produced through self-fertilization and explore strategies to control it.
16. Hybridization Barriers: Investigate the genetic factors that prevent hybridization between different genotypes or species.
17. Plant-Soil Interactions: Examine the impact of soil conditions on plant growth and nutrient uptake.
18. Root Morphology: Assess root length, depth, and architecture to understand their role in nutrient acquisition and drought tolerance.
19. Nutrient Use Efficiency: Measure plant performance under varying nutrient conditions and identify genotypes with efficient nutrient use.
20. Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS): Identify genomic regions associated with specific traits of interest using a population of genotyped individuals.
