This study is devoted to assess sex ratio variation among 33 populations of the gynodioecious Beta vulgaris ssp. maritima in Brittany (France) and to explore the causes of this variation. We showed that three different CMS (cytoplasmic male sterility) cytotypes occurred in populations, but strongly differed for their frequencies and the frequency of their associated nuclear restorer alleles (wh...

Transgenic photo-thermo sensitive genic male sterility Oryza sativa L. cv. "261S" plants with the anti-Waxy gene were successfully obtained using an Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated co-transformation method. Marker-free homozygous transgenic lines with the anti-Waxy gene were obtained. The setting seed rates of the transgenic plants via self-pollination or via crossing with the restorer line ...

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is a maternally inherited trait in which plants fail to produce functional pollen and is associated with the expression of a novel open reading frame (orf) gene encoded by the mitochondrial genome. An RT102A CMS line and an RT102C fertility restorer line were obtained by successive backcrossing between Oryza rufipogon W1125 and O. sativa Taichung 65. Using next-...

Inheritance of male sterility was studied in the gynodioecious species Plantago coronopus using five plants and their descendants from an area of -50 m' from each of four locations. In each location, crosses between these five plants yielded the entire array of possible sex phenotypes. Both nuclear and cytoplasmic genes were involved. Emphasis is placed on the nuclear (restorer) genetics of two...

This paper describes the effectiveness of using dynamic voltage restorer (DVR) in order to mitigate voltage sags and swells in low voltage distribution systems. A dynamic voltage restorer based on the dqo algorithm is discussed. The proposed control scheme is very effective to detect any disturbance in low voltage distribution systems. Simulation results using Matlab/Simulink are presented to v...

An essential factor in the success of multiple ovulation and embryo transfer programmes (MOET) any species is selection recipient females. In rabbit there a notable lack studies on effects genotype postnatal growth. The aim this study was to evaluate maternal genotypes litter size components within MOET programme applied commercial paternal line that appears have exhausted its after 37 generati...

Voltage Sag is one of the Power Quality problem and it become severe to industrial customers. Voltage sag causes miss operation to several sensitive equipments. This problem can be mitigating with the Dynamic Voltage Restorer. DVR is a solid state device which is connected in series between the source and load voltages. In this Dynamic Voltage Restorer is implemented using Capacitor Clamped Mul...

Androphilia refers to sexual attraction to adult males, whereas gynephilia refers to sexual attraction to adult females. Male androphilia is an evolutionary paradox. Its development is at least partially influenced by genetic factors, yet male androphiles exhibit lower reproductive output, thus raising the question of how genetic factors underlying its development persist. The sexual antagonism...
