Maize forage is commonly used as silage in milk and beef cattle livestock production systems. Despite the wide variety of maize hybrids with high potential for grain production, few available have been developed exclusively aptitude. The present study aimed to select S3 progenies derived from single hybrid AS1572 based on combining ability traits topcrosses testers AG8025, 70.H26.1, MLP102. 135...

Breeding programs for improvement of sacha-inchi, Plukenetia volubilis L., generally aim to select individuals with greater seed yield since there is a strong correlation between and oil production. However, the manual removal husks evaluating this trait laborious costly, thereby discouraging breeding efforts. Accordingly, objective present study was estimate gains from indirect selection produ...

In this study flowering time and other important morphologic traits were evaluated during two years in F1 almond progenies of seventy two seedlings from cross between the intermediate flowering Italian cultivar ‘Tuono’ and the extra-late blooming Iranian cultivar ‘Shahrood-12’. A modified-bulk segregant analysis in combination with the application of the 140 RAPD primers, 87 nuclear ...

one of the fundamental processes in woody plant propagation especially olive is rooting ability of cuttings. thus the selection of superior trees with desirable genetic structure is essential. adventitious root formation is a key step in rooting ability. therefore, identification of inducible genes in these processes is necessary. in this study, for the first time importin genes were identified...

quasicrystals are a group of materials with the quasi-periodic structure, and since their discovery in 1980 their specially interesting physical properties have attracted the attention of many researchers. the lack of translational periodicity makes the numerical calculations of their physical properties much more difficult than the crystalline solids. in this work we present a detailed numeric...
