Tuberose is one of the most important aromatic cut flower among ornamental plants that its growth and quality is influenced by the type and percentage of mineral compounds in the substrate. This study was carried out on the basis of a randomized complete design to explore the impact of feldspar, talc, dolomite and tuff minerals at the rate of 10, 20 and 40% incorporated with garden soil and man...

this research was conducted to compare plant functional types (pft) and traits in an old-field (abandoned for 28 years) and a control site, in the baharkish rangelands, quchan, iran. in the both sites, 40 randomized quadrates were established. floristic list, frequency, canopy cover and 20 vegetative, phenological and morphological plant traits were measured for all plant species, within each q...

High seed vigor is important for agricultural production due to the associated potential for increased growth and productivity. However, a better understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms is required because the genetic basis for seed vigor remains unknown. We used single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for four seed vigor traits in two con...

The purpose of this study was to detect quantitative trait loci (QTL) for growth and carcass quality traits on BTA6 in a population of Hanwoo cattle. Three hundred and sixty one steers were produced from 39 sires that were sired by 17 grandsires in the two Hanwoo farming branches of the National Livestock Research Institute of Korea, between Spring 2000 and Fall 2002. DNA samples were collected...

investigation of inheritance, mode of gene action and determination of effective breeding strategy for improvement of physiological and morpho-physiological traits specifically in drought stress conditions is very important. to determine the inheritance pattern and genetic parameters of quantitative characters in bread wheat (triticum aestivum), p1, p2, bc1, bc2, f1, f2 generations derived from...
