general and specific combining ability of some rice lines and cultivars with irri sources were determined using the line × tester procedure (5 pure lines were crossed with 4 local cultivars as tester). parents and their progenies were planted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in the research field of iran rice research institute. traits such as yield and its componen...

Genetic analysis and inheritance patterns studies on agronomic yield characters were required to develop a plant breeding program. This study aimed obtain information performance, gene action, genetic diversity, heritability in the F2 population derived from crosses of local high-yielding varieties. The was conducted August-November 2021 Dramaga, Bogor. sorghum population, female male parents, ...

The widespread occurrence of female multiple mating (FMM) demands evolutionary explanation, particularly in the light of the costs of mating. One explanation encapsulated by "good sperm" and "sexy-sperm" (GS-SS) theoretical models is that FMM facilitates sperm competition, thus ensuring paternity by males that pass on genes for elevated sperm competitiveness to their male offspring. While suppo...

Fresh bean is the most important pulse crop which are sold fresh, canned, and frozen. The genetic variability association studies help in selection would increase yield potential of fresh bean. experiment was conducted using randomized block design 2021 at Konya with 25 genotypes (5 parents 20 F2 Population). General special combination abilities, heterosis heterobeltiosis values, broad narrow ...

This study reports on the molecular identification of fish species from processed products which had a priori been classified as belonging to 5 important species in Iran for human consumption. DNA barcoding using direct sequencing of an approximately 650bp of mitochondrial Cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) gene revealed incorrect labeling of Narrow-barred Spanish mackerel samples. High occurre...

Differentiation in morphometric traits among experimental populations of the housefly subjected to an experimental bottleneck was examined for replicate lines founded with one, four or 16 pairs of flies. Differentiation among lines within a bottleneck size was significantly greater than predicted by drift in relation to the additive genetic variation for these traits within the founding populat...

Root-knot nematodes of the genus Meloidogyne are important pathogens affecting vegetable crop production in Brazil and worldwide. The pepper species Capsicum annuum includes both hot and sweet peppers; very little emphasis has been placed on breeding sweet peppers for nematode resistance. We report on the inheritance of resistance to Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White) Chitwood race 2 in the...

Incessant rise in ambient temperature is threatening sustainability of maize productions, worldwide. Breeding heat resilient synthetics/hybrids is the most economical tool while lack of knowledge of gene action controlling heat and yield relevant traits in maize is hampering progress in this regard. The current study, therefore, was conducted using analyses of generation mean and variance, and ...

in order to analyze general and specific combining abilities and gene effects in sunflower for some agronomic traits, five cms lines and four restorer lines (tester) were crossed in a line × tester scheme. hybrids were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications in the agriculture research station, university of tabriz, in 2009 and 2010 growing seasons. plant height,...
