Fifty two genotypes of Indian bean were examined for the genetic variability parameters and trait correlation 11 yield contributing traits in F5 progenies. Analysis revealed that these had a considerable level diversity. The magnitude GCV PCV was high seed per plant, which indicated potential selection based enhancement. values moderate pod weight, pods width length. High heritability along wit...

Ovulation rate (OR) and litter size (LS) were recorded in 72 ewes from a traditional sheep population native to Belle-Ile en Mer, France (BI) from 1986 to 1996. Mean, range and repeatability of OR were: 2.54 +/- 1.1 (n = 494), 1-8 and 0.8, respectively, whereas, for LS, they were: 2.23 +/- 1.0 (n = 146), 1-7 and 0.2, respectively. OR is significantly influenced by age, number of OR, maximum OR ...

A significant protection provided by maternal antibodies against avian adenovirus serotypes 8 and 11, previously associated with the inclusion body hepatitis and hydropericardium syndrome, was observed in breeder progenies after challenge at 1 and 7 days of age. At two weeks of age, in the presence of low maternal antibodies against avian adenovirus (AAV), chicken anemia virus (CAV) and infecti...

The metabolic changes of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) during osteogenic differentiation were accessed by reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) fluorescence lifetime. An increase in mean fluorescence lifetime and decrease in the ratio between free NADH and protein-bound NADH correlated with our previously reported increase in the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) level of hMSCs dur...

background: the seeds of some medicinal plants and their compounds have long been valued for their numerous health benefits. objective:to investigate some physical and chemical properties of salvia spp. methods: some physico-chemical properties in five species of salvia seeds (consisted of s. officinalis l., s. macrosiphon l., s. hypoleuca l., s. sclarea l. and s. nemorosa l.) were measured at ...

The type and content of organic acids in fruits are important factors that determine the traits, such as nutrition flavor fruits. Fruit weight size also very economic characters fruit breeding research. To investigate inheritance patterns longan, acid contents, weight, were measured distant hybridization progenies longan ‘Huanongzao’ lychee ‘Ziniangxi’. results revealed malic accumulation exhib...

The aim of this study was to evaluate Eucalyptus badjensis concerning the genetic variation for growth traits and the potential of the species in supporting a breeding programme. The field trial was a provenance/progeny test established in Campina da Alegria, Santa Catarina, Brazil (latitude 26°52'05.1″ S, longitude 51°48'47.5″ W, altitude 1,015 m) in a soil classified as Latossolic Alumino-Fer...
