The aim of this research was to estimate the variance components and genetic parameters for silkworm cocoon traits using univariate and multivariate models, and comparison of average productivity and resistance traits among three different selection strategies in two commercial silkworm lines of 153 and 154. Genetic parameters of cocoon weight, cocoon shell weight and cocoon shell percenta...

Soybean has a lot of food and industerial uses. There is a growing demand for various soybean production, due to its nutritional value, wich included high protein and variety of vitamins and minerals. In order to evaluate and compare the yield of pure soybean lines in terms of important agronomic traits and grain yield, 20 top pure lines and two cultivars Sari and Caspian as control, were studi...

Background and purpose: In this study, the effects of a mixture of deoxypodophyllotoxin/DPT and Juniperus communis L. on apoptosis and cellular inhibition were evaluated. Also, their cytotoxicity effects on prostate cancer cells (PC3 and DU145) and normal cells (HGFs), their anti-inflammatory effects, oxidation properties, and their effects on the expression of androgen receptors (AR) and clust...

  In order to develop a high yielding rice cultivar with optimum cooking quality, a cross was conducted between two rice cultivars Khazar, high yielding and resistant to blast disease and Daylamani Tarom, with good cooking quality in 1990. Forty pure lines were selected and compared for high grain yield in 1996. Ten selected lines together with two check cultivars Dasht and Onda were tested in ...
