pistacia atlantica is the most important tree species for the economy of many rural areas in west of iran, but no effort has been made for the genetic improvement of this species. the aim of this investigation was to study the genetic variation and inheritance of early growth traits in p. atlantica. for this purpose, three wild pistachio populations comprising 60 randomly selected adult trees f...

purpose: to evaluate the correlation between corneal power and corneal horizontal white to white diameter in myopic patients scheduled for lasik surgery. methods: overall, in 840 eyes of 420 myopic subjects scheduled for lasik, horizontal white to white diameter and mean corneal power were obtained using orbscan ii. pearson correlation test and regression analysis were used to detect any correl...

The aim of this study was to use multiple DNA markers for detection of QTLs related to resistance to white mold in an F2 population of common bean evaluated by the straw test method. The DNA from 186 F2 plants and from the parents was extracted for genotypic evaluation using SSR, AFLP, and SRAP markers. For phenotypic analysis, 186 F2:4 progenies and ten lines were evaluated, in a 14 × 14 tripl...

Let s ? 3 $s \geqslant 3$ be a natural number, let ? ( x ) $\psi (x)$ polynomial with real coefficients and degree d 2 $d 2$ , A $A$ some large, non-empty, finite subset of numbers. We use E $E_{s,2}(A)$ to denote the number solutions system equations ? i = 1 ? + 0 \begin{equation*}\hskip2.5pc \sum _{i=1}^{s} (\psi (x_i) - \psi (x_{i+s}) )= (x_i x_{i+s} 0, \end{equation*} where ? $x_i \in A$ fo...
