The fingerprinting of Bermudagrass DNA Genetic relationships are key to efficient production of high - quality varieties

T fingerprinting of plant, animal and human DNA has been practiced by researchers and forensic scientist for many years, especially garnering widespread attention from notorious cases involving DNA evidence. The DNA fingerprint analysis is so powerful it's capable of distinguishing one individual from another. Each of us has a unique DNA pattern as do plant species and plant varieties. All orga...

Effects of mining-derived metals on riffle-dwelling crayfish in southwestern Missouri and southeastern Kansas, USA.

Riffle-dwelling crayfish populations were sampled at 16 sites in 4 tributaries of the Spring River located within the Tri-State Mining District in southwest Missouri. Crayfish density, physical habitat quality, and water quality were examined at each site to assess the ecological effects of mining-derived metals on crayfish. Metals (lead, zinc, and cadmium) were analyzed in samples of surface w...
