Ascochyta blight, caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab. is a devastating disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) worldwide. Available genetic variation for Ascochyta blight resistance in genus Cicer has prompted interest in the development and use of resistant cultivars that can be sown in autumn and, to increase seed yield in chickpea. Understanding the mode of inheritance of resistance to ...

In order to determine the possible effects of udder traits on milk yield and milk composition a serial of experiments were carried out on five different sheep farms, between 1998-2000. Ten breeds and genotypes were included in these experiments: Merino, (Merino x Pleven Blackhead) F1, Pleven F1 x Black East Friesian, Lacaune, (Merino x Lacaune) F1, British Milksheep, (Merino x British Milksheep...

The present research was carried out at the Breeder Seed Production Unit, JNKVV, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh using twenty-one sets of bread wheat genotypes. These were sown and evaluated under timely condition in a randomized complete block design with three replication during post-rainy season 2021- In investigation thirteen morphological one biochemical trait analyzed. analysis variance indicate...

The cytogenetic characteristics of Pseudoplatystoma corruscans and Pseudoplatystoma reticulatum and their F1, F2 and backcross hybrids were assessed by using chromosome banding techniques. The diploid number of 56 chromosomes was constant in all species and lineages, with a karyotypic formula containing 20 metacentric, 12 submetacentric, 12 subtelocentric and 12 acrocentric chromosomes. Nucleol...

Tef (Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter) is a gluten-free cereal crop mainly grown in Ethiopia. Knowledge of the nature and magnitude variation that exists breeding materials great importance for effective breeding. This study was designed to assess genetic divergence landrace collections using quantitative qualitative traits investigate important trait discriminating landraces. The experiment carr...

OBJECTIVE To compare genotypes of Candida albicans strains causing different conditions of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) in Chinese women. METHODS C albicans strains were isolated from the vaginas of patients with different conditions of VVC. The genotypes of the strains were investigated based on single-strand conformation polymorphisms (SSCP) of the PCR amplified microsatellite locus CAI. ...

Sixty-two antimicrobial agents, including several combinations, were examined for stability at 56 degrees C for 30 min and 121 degrees C for 15 min, respectively. A microtiter broth dilution MIC test and an agar disk diffusion test served to test each chemo-agent for residual antimicrobial activity. Eleven drugs were partially heat-labile (MICs raised four- to eight-fold after autoclaving) and ...
