Two subspecies of the Great Cormorant breed in Norway, continental Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis south, along Skagerrak coast, and marine P. c. from central Norway northwards. Here we review information existing until 2017 on population status trends, breeding performance diet these two Norway. The most recent national estimates are approximately 2500 (in 2012) 19,000 2012–2014) pairs carbo, res...

● This review systematically raises the subject concept of alfalfa biology. The discipline biology has been divided into six major sections. recent advances from perspective system have reviewed. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is main leguminous forage crop with great ecologic and ...

The advent of cheaply available high-throughput genetic and genomic techniques has equipped animal geneticists with an unprecedented ability to generate massive amounts of molecular data. As a result, large lists of genes differentially expressed in many experimental conditions of interests have been reported and, likewise, the association of an evergrowing number of DNA variants with phenotype...

Inbreeding coefficients and coancestry were used to investigate the genetic base in the Taiwan sugarcane breeding program. Six of the potentially most important ROC varieties in Taiwan were studied. Four ROC varieties had inbreeding coefficients. The largest inbreeding coefficient was found in ROClO (0.281), followed by ROC9 (0.156). Since ROC9 and ROClO are currently the leading cane varieties...

Crowing-type chicken is one of the important chicken breeds in Indonesia. This study was conducted to investigate the crowing characters of Pelung chicken and the effect of exon 7 FoxP2 gene polymorphism in mute chicken. Chicken were obtained from local breeder. Pelung chicken crowing and morphology characterizations were conducted in Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia. Chicken breeding (♀ ...
