the objectives of this research were to study the varieties and relationships of yield and quality traits under two harvesting management procedures concerning forage dry matter (dm yield) and 5 quality traits such as dry matter digestibility (dmd%), water soluble carbohydrates (wsc%), crude protein (cp%), acid detergent fibre (adf%) and total ash in tall wheatgrass (agropyron elongatum). in th...

To map important ESTs to specific chromosomes and (or) chromosomal regions is difficult in hexaploid wheat because of its large genome size and serious interference of homoeologous sequences. Large-scale EST sequencing and subsequent chromosome localization are both laborious and time-consuming. The wheat alien addition line TAi-27 contains a pair of chromosomes of Thinopyrum intermedium (Host)...

The projections from the cerebellar nuclei to the superior colliculus of the cat have been studied by injecting small amounts of horseradish peroxidase into the colliculus and charting the distribution of the labeled neurons in the cerebellar nuclei. The results show that the cerebellar nuclei project to the deep layers of the superior colliculus, especially contralaterally. Of the deep cerebel...

Two new lectins were purified from the tubers of Arisaema intermedium Blume and A. wallichianum Hook. f. (family: Araceae) by affinity chromatography on asialofetuin-linked amino activated silica beads. The bound lectins were eluted with 0.1 M glycine-HCl, pH 2.5. They gave a single band corresponding to subunit M(r) 13.4 kDa in SDS-PAGE, pH 8.3. On gel filtration chromatography, the lectins sh...

Monogeneans, a class of parasitic platyhelminthes, are usually found on the surface fish. When it feeds its host, harbours bacteria, which can survive in gut. Occasionally, monogeneans may cause damages fish tissue while feeding and allow secondary infection. The present study aimed to isolate identify culturable bacteria obtained within gill monogeneans, Cichlidogyrus thurstonaeand Scutogyrus ...

Semi-terrestrial brachyuran sesarmid crabs are the most diverse and important faunal components of mangrove forest temperate coastal communities worldwide. To establish a stable larval rearing method for understanding their developmental processes including molecular mechanisms molting metamorphosis, we examined effects diet on survival growth three crabs, Chiromantes haematocheir, Orisarma int...
