For estimating genetic parameters for body weight traits in Kourdi sheep data were collected from 1996 to 2013 in Kourdi Breeding Station in Northern Khorasan province of Iran. Studied traits were birth weight (BW), weaning weight (WW), six-month weight (6MW), nine-month weight (9MW) and yearling weight (YW). The fixed effects in the model were lambing year, sex, type of birth and age of dam. (...

assessment of different plant genetic resources clarifies genetic variation and makes it possible to apply them in plant breeding programs. in this experiment, 27 selected lines of common bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.), one local landrace and two conventional bean cultivars (talash and cos-16 as controls), sown using randomized complete block design with three replications in the research farm of...
