The name Pethia melanomaculata (Deraniyagala) is available for the Sri Lankan fish previously referred to P. ticto, being distinguished from its Indian congeners by the combination of the following characters; having ½4/1/3½ scales in transverse line on body; body depth 32.4-41.5% of standard length (SL); head length (HL) 26.1-29.2% of SL; snout length 25.3-35.6% of HL; eye diameter 24.4-31.9% ...

The ultrastructure of the radial neuromuscular system of the trachymedusa Liriope tetraphylla was examined to determine the morphological substrate underlying crumpling behavior--the folding of the margin into the subumbrellar cavity by radial muscle contraction. These contractions are produced by the four smooth muscle bands that run the length of the peduncle and extend over the subumbrellar ...

Traccatichthys tuberculum, new species, is herein described from the Jian-Jiang, a coastal river in Guangdong Province, South China. Photo by Bosco P.L. Chan. This new species differs from all other Chinese congeners (i.e., T. pulcher and T. zispi) in interorbital width, caudal-peduncle length, and pectoral-fin length. It, together with T. zispi, lacks the color patterns of the dorsal and anal ...

Phenotypic characterization has been recognized as very important for the identification and selection of promising lines in improvement programs. This study aimed at characterizing selecting early-maturing high-yielding African yam bean (AYB) mutant M2 generation. The experiment was carried out experimental field Institute Agricultural Research Training, Nigeria. design used a randomized compl...

To investigate developmental morphological variation of the hippocampal formation, we evaluated the degree of hippocampal infolding in cross-sectional oblique coronal images of the cerebral peduncle and the superior cerebellar peduncle. We defined the hippocampal infolding angle as the angle between the vertical midline and the straight line connecting the medial superior margin of the subiculu...

Agricultural robots were designed based on the characteristics of target crop. In this study, two varieties black pepper including Kaimunda and Panniyur 1 evaluated for physical parameters to design a robotic harvester. The main objective study was measure analyze properties regard, studies conducted spike, peduncle, berry, vine separately. results showed that average length diameter spikes Kar...

An incomplete diallel cross study comprising of seven bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars was carried out with parents and F1 progeny to determine heterosis, combining ability, gene action, and correlations for plant height and its components. The results showed that heterosis and heterobeltiosis occurred in plant height, spike length, peduncle length, length of the second internode fr...

The genus Odysseylana Malyutina, 1995 is revised and a new diagnosis presented; two new species from Singapore are described: Odysseylana sakijang sp. nov. and Odysseylana temasek sp. nov. The monotypic genus Parilcirolana Yu & Li, 2001, is placed in synonymy, bringing total number of species in Odysseylana to four including the type species Odysseylana sirenkoi Malyutina, 1995 and Odysseylana ...

The present investigation conducted on 80 accessions of wheat during 2018-19 at Main Experiment Station (MES) A.N.D. University Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (U.P.) to evaluate character association genetic divergence for the identification most diverse promising genotypes. experiment was laid out in Augmented Block Design. observations were recorded various morphological physi...

Variation in morphometric characters in four sand crab (Albunea symmysta) populations from four intertidal areas in Sumatra (Aceh and Bengkulu) and Java (Cilacap and Yogyakarta) were studied. Crabs collected from the four sites were measured to obtain 10 morphometric characters, i.e., carapace length (CL), carapace width (CW), ocular peduncle length and width (LOP and WOP), telson length and wi...
