The objective of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analyses for selection of the best parents for breeding of hybrid winter triticale. Phenotypic diversity was measured for 8 agronomic traits in 10 parents and 27 F1 hybrids. Genotypic diversity was measured by 91 AFLP markers. Coefficients of correlation of genetic similarity (AFLP-GS) wi...

Women are significantly less politically engaged than men at both the mass and elite levels. More recent scholarship has found that structural factors standard predictors of political behavior no longer sufficiently explain this persistent gap in engagement. In present study, I take a novel approach to exploring discrepancy women’s engagement participation. ask: Does self-objectification, inter...

Cleistogamous and chasmogamous are two opposing phenomena for flowering in barley. Cleistogamy limits the rate of outcrossing, and increases the cost of producing hybrid barley seeds. Selecting chasmogamous lines with a large glume opening angle (GOA) is essential for the utilization of barley heterosis. In the current study, 247 DH lines derived from a cross between Yangnongpi7 and Yang0187 we...

The study was carried out to estimate magnitude of heterosis over better parent and standard check for some important characters in 15 crosses resulting from a half diallel mating design of 6 inbred lines of brinjal. Hybrid variety ‘Tarapuri’ was used as standard check. The parents and the hybrids were evaluated at the farm of Olericulture Division, HRC, BARI, during the winter season of 2008-2...

It has been argued that when people believe that their work is a calling, it can often be experienced as an intense and consuming passion with significant personal meaning. While callings have been demonstrated to have several positive outcomes for individuals, less is known about the potential downsides for those who experience work in this way. This study develops a multiple-meditation model ...

Human resources-the most valuable resource of the economy- has potential to make a big difference in organization, environment and industry. These differences can be positive or negative. Job engagement is one factors that distinguish these from each other. The main purpose this study determine effect job on person-organization fit. In addition, it was examined effects dimensions data research ...

one of the important issues in the arid and semi-arid regions is the water deficit and soil salinity. therefore, selecting tolerant species to salinity and drought especially in seed germination and emergence stage is important. in the present study the effects of drought and salt stress on seed germination of vetch (vicia villosa l.) which is palatable forage was investigated. the germination ...

BACKGROUND High levels of work-related stress, burnout, job dissatisfaction, and poor health are common within the nursing profession. A comprehensive understanding of nurses' psychosocial work environment is necessary to respond to complex patients' needs. The aims of this study were threefold: (1) To retest and confirm two structural equation models exploring associations between practice env...

The detrimental effects of genetic erosion on small isolated populations are widely recognized contrary to their interactions with environmental changes. The ability of genotypes to plastically respond to variability is probably essential for the persistence of these populations. Genetic erosion impact may be exacerbated if inbreeding affects plastic responses or if their maintenance were at hi...

Hybridisation can produce evolutionary novelty by increasing fitness and adaptive capacity. Heterosis, or hybrid vigour, has been documented in many plant and animal taxa, and is a notable consequence of hybridisation that has been exploited for decades in agriculture and aquaculture. On the contrary, loss of fitness in naturally occurring hybrid taxa has been observed in many cases. This can h...
