Glyptothorax radiolus, new species, is described from the Brahmaputra River drainage in West Bengal, northeast India. It differs from most congeners in the Indian subcontinent in possessing plicae on the ventral surfaces of the pectoral spine and first pelvic-fin ray. The following combination of characters serve to distinguish it from congeners in the Indian subcontinent with plicate ventral s...

nant dwarfing gene, Dw8, was identified and demonstrated to be distinct genetically from Dw6 and Dw7 The use of oat (Avena sativa L.) dwarfing genes in breeding pro(Milach et al., 1998). This gene has not been used yet grams to improve lodging resistance has been limited, mainly because of decreases in yield and grain quality in many environments. The for cultivar development. objectives of thi...

water logging stress is one of the most important factors which affect wheat production particularly in western regions of golestan province. this experiment was carried out in order to evaluate of six genotypes (n-81-18, arta, moghan, n-80-19, urwyt-82-11 and urwyt-82-17) of bread wheat in water logging condition at 2006-2007 growing season in gorgan agricultural research station. the experime...

Tassel traits are important in maize breeding programs aiming to reduce the size and number of branches and maintain satisfactory pollen production in order to increase grain yield. The objectives of this study were to determine the sample size (number of tassels) required to estimate the mean values for tassel traits in maize genotypes and to verify the variability of sample size among genotyp...

Abstract The purpose of this study is a scientifically based selection representatives the genera Paeonia L., Hosta L. and Iris promising for use in urban landscaping. choice research objects determined by three criteria. These are: 1) Paeonia, - large generic complexes with number cultivars; 2) their cultivars are characterized wide morphological diversity; 3) Russia, these cultures have long ...

Incomplete panicle exsertion in almost all the WA-based CMS lines is one of the major impediments in obtaining higher seed yield in hybrid rice breeding programs. Exploitation of Elongated Uppermost Internode (eui) mutants in rice is a viable genetic strategy to solve this problem. Present study was undertaken with an aim of characterizing the elongated uppermost internode mutants in rice germp...

Eighteen Sarpa salpa and fifteen Dentex gibbous fish collected randomly from the artisanal catch of Benghazi landing site, eastern Libya (32°36' N 20°03' E), during fall winter 2019 were used in present study. Morphogenic features, 21 key morphometric 6 meristic parameters established for each fish. S. was fusiform with a terminal mouth, narrow caudal peduncle bifurcate fin. The body silvery wh...
