to study breeding resource of kabuli chickpea lines of national plant gene bank of iran, two separate experiments were conducted during 2010 and 2011. in this study, 57 lines of kabuli type chickpeas- selected from primary evaluation experiments, out of 1500 accessions were planted at farm of seed and plant improvement research institute in karaj, iran, according a randomized complete block des...

This study evaluated the influence of variety type on dilute acid pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis responses in terms of xylose, glucose and total combined sugar yields of eight varieties of sugarcane bagasse. The pretreatment was carried out in small tubular reactors. The materials were pretreated under five different conditions and hydrolysed with a standard enzyme dosage (15 FPU/g water...

In order to have successful application of genomic selection, reference population and marker density should be chosen properly. This study purpose was to investigate the accuracy of genomic estimated breeding values in terms of low (5K), intermediate (50K) and high (777K) densities in the simulated populations, when different scenarios were applied about the reference populations selecting. Af...

the aim of this study was to test the genotypes effect of dgat1 gene on breeding value in iranian holstein milk production traits. for this purpose, 103 semen samples of registered bulls were collected and then genotyped for partial region of dgat1 gene. the studied traits were milk yield (my), fat yield (fy), protein yield (py), fat percentage (fp) and protein percentage (pp). first lactation ...

Testicles were isolated from dromedary camels in a local slaughterhouse at breeding and non-breeding seasons. Sperms were recovered from different parts of the epididymis (caput, corpus and cauda) and stained separately on slide glasses by eosin nigrosin staining method and dried by a hair dryer and carried to the laboratory. In the lab, slides were observed for evaluation of the proportion of ...

pyramiding genes related to grain quality and resistance through marker assisted selection (mas) is an important approach in rice breeding programs. marker-assisted selection can be used for monitoring the presence or absence of these genes in breeding populations and can be combined with conventional breeding approaches. this study is a part of cultivar development program in iran through inte...
