the chamomile species of anthemis triumfettii (l.) all is one of important medicinal plant belong to compositae family and it grows as wild species in zagros and alborz mountains, iran. the aim of this study was to evaluation of morphological and phenological traits and their relationships with essential oil. seeds of seven accessions were sown in jiffy pots and transferred to field using rando...

in order to estimate heritability, heterosis, general and specific combining ability and relationships between them in traits of fruit number per plant, days to the first fruit harvest, yield per plant, average fruit weight and rind thickness, seven local populations of iranian melon (‘tashkandi’, ‘khatouni’, ‘garmak’, ‘aran1’, ‘mirpanji’, ‘suski-e-sabz’ and ‘golpaygan’) were crossed using a co...

this experiment was conducted to determine gene action for different traits of chickpea including days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, 100-seeds weight, number of pods per plant and seed yield. five genotypes including arman, hashem, ilc588, iccv2 and ilc3279 were selected and crossed with each other. four generations of each cross along with parents were evaluated in a random...

In the current paper we investigate whether gender aVects the encoding of leadership behavior. In three studies we found evidence that perceivers had diYculty encoding leadership behaviors into their underlying prototypical leadership traits when the behavior implied an agentic trait and the behavior was enacted by a female. Using a lexical decision making task, in Study 1 we demonstrated that ...

Given finite resources, intense investment in one life history trait is expected to reduce investment in others. Although telomere length appears to be strongly tied to age in many taxa, telomere maintenance requires energy. We therefore hypothesize that telomere maintenance may trade off against other life history characters. We used natural variation in laboratory populations of Atlantic silv...
