Abstract:
The variation and interrelations of some characteristics of Panax ginseng germplasms(lines), which were five selfmating generations of some single plants were studied. Methods of multivariate analysis, such as correlation, regression, or clustering, and coefficient of variation were used. The results were of benefit to the breeding and standardized planting of Panax ginseng.

Trihybrid Crosses
Some of Mendel’s crosses examined three pairs of contrasting characteristics. Such a cross is called a trihybrid cross. A trihybrid cross is a combination of three individual monohybrid crosses. For example, plant height (tall vs. short), seed shape (round vs. wrinkled), and seed color (yellow vs. green).
The F1 generation plants of a trihybrid cross are heterozygous for all three traits and produce eight gametes. Upon self-fertilization, these gametes have an equal chance to...
