To identifying of the high yielding wheat lines with optimal characteristics and to determine the traits which could be used as the selection index for increasing of grain yield, 40 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between Norstar and Zagros cultivars were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The measured characters consisted of peduncle weight, ...

Estimation of genetic diversity is an important factor in germplasm conservation and characterization. In rice breeding programs, genetic diversity information on specific regions of genome can be very useful for the application of marker assisted selection (MAS) and for gene mapping. A total of 152 rice lines were considered for breeding programs using microsatellites (SSR) technique. The tota...

The effects of the mouse major histocompatibility complex, H-2, on phospholipid methyltransferase I and II activities were investigated on hepatocyte membranes from inbred, congenic and recombinant strains. Each methyltransferase was assayed individually by measuring the incorporation of radiolabel from S-adenosyl-L-[methyl-3H]methionine into endogenous phospholipids. Our results indicate that ...

Background A panel of recombinant congenic strains (RCS) of mice can be used to study an array of disease related phenotypes [1]. We have used a panel of 33 AcB/BcA RCS, derived from parental strains A/J and C57BL/6J (Figure 1), to study phenotypes of allergic asthma that are difficult to segregate in the human population, such as airway hyperresponsiveness [2]. Each recombinant strain is fully...

We consider fixed recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived either by selfing or by full-sib mating; when applicable, we also consider intermated recombinant inbreds (IRIs). First, we show that the usual estimate of recombination fraction based on RIL data is biased, and we provide an estimate where the major part of that bias is removed. Second, we derive simple formulas to compute the frequenci...

to identify the high yielding lines with optimal characteristics, 40 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between ‘norstar’ (winter wheat) and ‘zagros’ (spring wheat) cultivars were examined using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2014 at the research station of faculty of agriculture, university of tabriz, iran. the measured characters consisted of peduncle...

The objective of this study was to evaluate boron tolerance wheat genotypes using mature embryo culture. analysis involved 79 recombinant inbred lines the International Triticeae Mapping Initiative (ITMI) population and three Serbian varieties with known (B) (Pobeda - sensitive S, Balerina-medium tolerant MT, Nevesinjka T). evaluation performed on a modified MS medium which 15 mM boric acid add...
