I . Two high-yielding varieties and three hybrids of pearl millet were evaluated for their chemical composition and protein efficiency ratio (PER) for rats at a level of 6.38% dietary protein. PER values ranged from 0.94 to 1.21 and were significantly different. 2. Tryptophan contents of the proteins were above the optimum level of the FA0 reference protein. Lysine content was deficient in all ...

Montana is a typically low-rainfall area with limited irrigation in some areas. Moisture is critical for producing high-yielding, highquality forages. Finding forage species that can produce both a high-quality and high-yielding product is important for livestock producers throughout Montana and the region. While quality of perennial and annual grasses may be comparable to corn, their yield per...

Electrocardiography (ECG) may be used to recognize cardiac disorders. Levels of milk production may change the serum electrolytes which its imbalance has a role in cardiac arrhythmia. Fifty high yielding and fifty low yielding Holstein dairy cows were used in this study. Electrocardiography was recorded by base-apex lead and blood samples were collected from jugular vein for measurement of seru...

A study was conducted to investigate the bioaccumulation of arsenic by twelve different high yielding, hybrid and local rice varieties, cultivated in the Nadia district, West Bengal (India). The results showed that rice plant accumulated arsenic from irrigation water but, the magnitude of accumulation was found to vary with the rice varieties. Some of the examined rice varieties (like IET 4094,...

Developing high yielding and stable genotypes for wide and specific adaptation is important in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production. The objective of this study was to exploit the gains from genotype by environment interaction for increased bread wheat production in eastern Africa. Thirty-three advanced bread wheat lines, along with two check varieties (Danda’a and Hidasse) were evaluated at...

Growth parameters such as leaf area (LA), total dry mass (TDM) production, crop growth rate (CGR), relative growth rate (RGR), and net assimilation rate (NAR) were compared in six varieties of mungbean under subtropical condition (24°8' N 90°0' E) to identify limiting growth characters for the efficient application of physiology breeding for higher yields. Results revealed that a relatively sma...

Breeding of multi-stress tolerant rice varieties with higher grain yields is the best option to enhance the rice productivity of abiotic stresses prone areas. It also poses the greatest challenge to plant breeders to breed rice varieties for such stress prone conditions. Here, we carried out a designed QTL pyramiding experiment to develop high yielding "Green Super Rice" varieties with signific...

The world's population is increasing very rapidly, reducing the cultivable land of rice, decreasing table water, emerging new diseases and pests, and the climate changes are major issues that must be addressed to researchers to develop sustainable crop varieties with resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, recent scientific discoveries and advances particularly in genetics, genomics...
