sustainability of productions in agricultural ecosystems depends on conservation and amplification of biodiversity. this study was conducted to determine the planting area, species richness, species evenness and biodiversity of different agronomical, horticultural and livestock productions in kerman province. for this purpose, information about planting area of agronomical and horticultural pla...

Background & Aim: German chamomile is one of the most important medicinal plants. So, assessment of genetic diversity and relationship among the traits are very essential in chamomile breeding programs. Determination of the best indirect selection criteria for genetic improvement of essence percent and dry flower yield of German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) populations...

Abstract. Rachman F, Trikoesoemaningtyas, Wirnas D, Reflinur. 2022. Estimation of genetic parameters and heterosis through line × tester crosses national sorghum varieties local Indonesian cultivars. Biodiversitas 23: 1588-1597. Diverse gene sources possessed by cultivars are potentially useful for superior development. This study aimed to determine the lines derived from crosses. A total eight...

Women's preferences for men's masculinized faces and voices were assessed after women (n = 331) were primed with images of male-on-male aggression, male-on-female aggression, pathogens, and neutral scenes. Male-on-male aggression and pathogen primes were associated with increased preference for masculine traits, but the same effect emerged in the neutral condition. We show the increased prefere...

this study was carried out in order to evaluate allelic diversity of microsatellite markers in qtl region for salinity tolerance on chromosome 10 in rice and evaluation of agronomical traits of some iranian rice cultivars in salinity stress along with two tolerant (pokkali) and sensitive (ir29) check varieties, and association analysis for morphological traits using microsatellite markers.based...

Through his experiments using garden peas, Mendel's recognition of the significance of the number 2 in inheritance, heralded the dawn of theoretical genetics. However, in agriculture, for centuries farmers had improved crops and vegetables by selection based on desired traits such as adaptability to the environment or quantity of product. They planted seeds from individuals of preferred traits ...

Important agronomical traits in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) breeding programs such as winter survival and heading date, are quantitative traits that are generally controlled by multiple loci. Individually, these loci have relatively small effects. The aim of this study was to develop a candidate gene based Illumina GoldenGate 1,536-plex assay, containing single nucleotide polymorphism m...
