The plant genetic resources are important, because they have most valuable national basis resources in the each country. In this study, to grouping the almond progenies from ‘Shahrood ’ × ‘Shahrood ’ and comparing them in terms of heritability with their parents, measured on the basis of almond universal descriptor. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to compare morphological and phonol...

This study was conducted to produce a high percentage of genetically male tilapia through interspecific hybridization between Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus and Blue tilapia, O. aureus and evaluate sex ratio, productive performance and heterosis of the progeny produced. The results revealed that sex ratios of the progenies of (♀ O. aureus x ♂ O. niloticus) and (♀ O. niloticus x ♂ O. aureus...

Cocoa is an important crop in Cameroon, where it cultivated different areas, including marginal characterized by a rather low level of annual rainfall and marked dry seasons. In order to release cocoa varieties with good adaptation these conditions, nine full-sib progenies, already released farmers other producing areas the country, were assessed on twelve farm plots, set up 2006, Mbam et Inoub...

As a major agent of rapid speciation, interspecific hybridization has played an important role in plant evolution. When hybridization involves species that exhibit self-incompatibility (SI), this prezygotic barrier to self-fertilization must be overcome or lost to allow selfing. How SI, a normally dominant trait, is lost in nascent hybrids is not known, however. Here we demonstrate that hybrid ...

Reef-building corals depend for much of their energy on photosynthesis by symbiotic dinoflagellate algae (genus Symbiodinium) that live within their gastrodermal cells. However, the cellular mechanisms underpinning this ecologically critical symbiosis, including those governing the specificity of symbiont uptake by the host, remain poorly understood, in part because of the difficulties of worki...

background: the study was designed to assess the role of preoperative neutrophil, lymphocyte, and neutrophil?lymphocyte ratio (nlr) in predicting survival outcomes of abo?incompatible liver transplantation (lt). materials and methods: we retrospectively collected the demographic and clinical  characteristics of 71 patients with end?stage liver cirrhosis following abo?incompatible lt in this stu...
