The SBL-1 strain of mumps virus, grouping with genotype A on the basis of the small hydrophobic protein gene sequence, was grown in the presence of three different monoclonal antibodies. The monoclonal antibodies were directed against the haemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein and they inhibited haemagglutinating activity and infectivity of the virus. The HN genes of the nine neutralization-...

Tef (Eragrostis tef [Zucc.] Trotter) is a tiny-seeded cereal with huge importance in Ethiopia. Creation of variability by hybridization and the subsequent selection RILs very important towards variety development. In order to identify superior genotypes, evaluation was performed on eight environments using three times replicated randomized complete block design. The result revealed that genotyp...

cantaloupe is a common crop and relatively important in iran which show high genetic diversity. forty nine genotypes including seven iranian endemic cantaloupes rishbaba, shahabadi, samsori, dastjerdi, magasi, tiltorogh and savei and their direct and reciprocal crosses were evaluated during two years using triple lattice design. results indicated the positive and significant correlations betwee...

One of the main obstacles to finding cultivars with consistent performance across locations and years is genotype × environment (GE) interaction effect. A new approach stability analysis for qualitative characteristics in maize was conducted utilizing G E interactions further via AMMI GGE biplots. The study aimed identify type trait inheritance through estimations index, evaluate multiple genot...

the fruit set rate and yield of pear are commonly low due to insufficient pollination, as the species is unattractive to honeybees. to improve honeybee foraging behavior for the pollination of dangshan pear (pyrus bretschneideri cv. dangshansuli), nine methods were used to attract bees. a control treatment of colonies was fed with normal sugar syrup, while six other treatments were fed using su...
