Determination of Genetic Distance between Turkish Sheep Breeds with Various Methods Using Some Blood Protein Loci

This study was conducted to estimate genetic distances among Akkaraman, Morkaraman, Awassi, Merino, Karakul, Kivircik, Imroz, Daglic and Karayaka sheep breeds reared in Turkey based on simple polymorphic blood protein types by using various methods including horizontal strach gel electrophoresis and polyacrilamyde gel electrophoresis (PAGE). NJ and UPGMA trees were constructed based on genetic ...

Sequence Variations of Mitochondrial DNA Displacement-Loop in Iranian Indigenous Sheep Breeds

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been used extensively to study population genetics because it has the unique features of maternal inheritance, a relatively fast rate of evolution and lack of recombination. A total of 82 unrelated sheep from 10 Iranian indigenous sheep breeds were investigated to determinate the maternal genetic diversity using a sequence of a 685 bp segment of the displacement lo...

Fuel Characteristics of Some Indigenous Plants

It is well known that fossil fuel combustion has tremendous negative impact on ecology and global climate. It is non renewable as well. The present rate of technological and economic growth of a country may be unsustainable due to rapid consumption of fossil fuel like crude oil, natural gas or coal. Thus people search for viable renewable energy sources like biomass, hydropower, geothermal ener...

Environmental and Genetic Factors Affecting Early Growth Traits in Three Yemeni Indigenous Sheep Breeds

The data were collected from 1992 to 2009 in Burri, White Boni and Black Boni sheep maintained at the Regional Research Station in the Central Highlands of Yemen. Data were analyzed to study the effects of environmental and genetic factors on body weight and growth rate from birth to weaning. The least square means for body weights (BW) were 2.54, 2.18 and 2.26 kg for birth; 12.49, 10.58 and 11...
