introduction obtaining varieties with acceptable yield and tolerant to different arid and semi-arid climate condition of iran is an important goal in canola breeding programs. selection of genotypes base on one or more traits without regarding to correlation between them, could biases the expected results. therefore, identifying of genetic correlation among traits especially in environmental st...

Traditional quantitative genetics assumes that an individual's phenotype is determined by both genetic and environmental factors. For many animals, part of the environment is social and provided by parents and other interacting partners. When expression of genes in social partners affects trait expression in a focal individual, indirect genetic effects occur. In this study, we explore the effec...

The objective of the current study was to determine the consequences of using indirect carcass measurements on the genetic response and rate of inbreeding in broiler breeding programs. In the base breeding scheme, selection candidates were evaluated based on direct carcass measurements on relatives. The possibilities of using indirect carcass measurements were investigated in alternative breedi...

sainfoin (onobrychis sativa), a forage legume, is worth attention because of its production and superior quality among pasture and hay forage crops in iran. sainfoin forage yield may be reduced by different levels of salinity. increasing forage yield in saline environments through plant breeding could partially compensate for this shortcoming if sufficient genetic diversity and heritability be ...

Understanding the developmental and evolutionary processes that generate and maintain variation in natural populations remains a major challenge for modern biology. Populations of Polistes fuscatus paper wasps have highly variable colour patterns that mediate individual recognition. Previous experimental and comparative studies have provided evidence that colour pattern diversity is the result ...

Knowledge of genetic diversity and relationships between genotypes is mainly important for selection of parental genotypes. Moreover, assessing diversity across and within crop varieties is important to improve the description of collections in gene banks and in on-farm conservation practices. In order to evaluation and study of genetic diversity in the bean in normal condition, forty-five bean...
