to determine the general and specific combining ability of the parental lines, five restorers ‎and four male sterility lines were selected as lines and testers respectively. nine parental lines were ‎crossed in a line × tester crossing system in year 2005 and the eight f1 hybrids and their six ‎parents in randomized complete blocks design (rcbd‏ (‏in two replications for yield, yield ‎component...

Ploidy level is one of important factors for plant breeders; therefore models that can predict it are very practical. To estimate of ploidy levels in some species, hybrids and cultivars of Rosa, dimensions of over 500 pollens include pollen length, width and area measured at ABRII. The calculations were carried out in several stages. First, Ploidy levels were regressed with pollen dimensions, a...

Morphology of hybrids between Aedes (Protomacleaya) zoosophus and Ae. (Pro.) triseriatus group species is described. Adult females of hybrids key to Ae. zoosophus. Hybrids are differentiated from Ae. zoosophus by the dark longitudinal medial or submedial lines on the thorax and by the reduced width of the light tarsal and abdominal bands. The transverse band of light scales on the anterior scut...

INCE 1916, the senior author has carried on an extensive series of S crossing experiments in the genus Paeonia, with the object both of obtaining new horticultural forms and of securing evidence concerning the interrelationships of the species and the processes of evolution within the genus. Some accounts of the hybrids have already been published (SAUNDERS 1928, 1933a, 193313). The junior auth...

We examined the effects of the sowing time on the yield production and oil content of the sunflower hybrids in 2010 and 2012. The crop year and the sowing time had both a strong impact on the yield, on the oilcontent and yield. By delaying the sowing time both the yield crop result and the oil yield increased. In 2010 in terms of crop yield and oil yield results PR64H42 was the best, in 2012 NK...

The sulphhydryl environment in various mixed-metal hybrid hemoglobins, viz. α2(Cu)β2(FeCO), α2(FeCO)-β2(Cu), α2(Cu)-β2(Ni), α2(Ni)-β2(Cu), was studied by reacting them with the sulphhydryl reagent, 4,4′-dithiodipyridine (4-PDS). The reactivity was compared with that of HbCO, NiHb and CuHb. It is found that there exists a correlation between conformational change and metal ion environment, not o...

The heavy quark expansion of Quantum Chromodynamics and the strong coupling flux tube picture of nonperturbative glue are employed to develop the phenomenology of hybrid meson decays. The decay mechanism explicitly couples gluonic degrees of freedom to the pair produced quarks and hence does not obey the well known, but model-dependent, selection rule which states that hybrids do not decay to p...

Glueballs and hybrids are predicted to exist but searches for them have failed to provide conclusive evidence. One–gluon exchange is not an important part of strong interactions in this energy regime. Instead, quarks seem to interact indirectly, via changes of the QCD vacuum. Strong interactions seem to be governed by instanton–induced interactions; the chiral soliton model gives a more suitabl...

in order to investigate effect of application of nitroxin and nitrogen chemical fertilizer on yield and yield components, split plot experiment on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications was conducted. four levels of nitrogen fertilizer (n1: 100% chemical fertilizer, n2: 75% chemical fertilizer + 100% biological fertilizer, n3: 50% chemical fertilizer + 100% biologi...

Poly(methyl acrylate) (PMA) + SiO2 composites were synthesized via a sol-gel reaction. The base acrylic copolymers with a content of alkoxysilane groups were prepared by co-polymerization of methylacrylate (MA) with 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propylmethacrylate (3MPS) or vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS); the products were cocondensed with tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS). The PMA + SiO2 hybrids were charact...
