We reviewed the conservation status of rare and endangered species of mussels in southeastern Oklahoma by completing surveys of 10 long-term monitoring sites on the Kiamichi River and five sites in the Little River. We found extant populations of the Ouachita rock pocketbook, Arkansia wheeleri, scaleshell, Leptodea leptodon, winged mapleleaf, Quadrula fragosa, and rabbitsfoot, Quadrula cylindri...

Marine algae are significant ingredients to formulate drugs for treating disease as they possess various bioactive potentials. Different marine algae (Laurencia papillosa and cylindrica (red algae) were collected from Red Sea (Faied and Ein Al-SokhnaSuez). Ulva fasciata (green algae) was collected from the Mediterranean Sea (Abu-Qir near Alexandria) and Dilophus fasciola (brown algae) was colle...

the genus aegilops is one of the wheat relatives which comprise the main part of its gene pool.the identification of the aegilops species is difficult due to their vast morphological similarities and geneflow among different species of aegilops and cultivated wheat. some morphological characters are used todistinguish different species in aegilops. in this study, we evaluate all these character...

The preferred livelihood assets for meat and nutritious milk in thousands villages of Kurdistan rejoin/Iraq are sheep goats. They generally rely on free roaming rangeland during the growing seasons. In order to maintain their livestock scarcity forages at winter seasons, leaves twigs (Quercus aegilops, Q. infectoria libani) harvested dried as (dry leaf faggots) autumn season use major substitut...

Plant species effects on ecosystem processes are mediated by traits such as litter quality and exudation. These same traits also influence the activity and distribution of animals that play key roles in regulating ecosystem dynamics. We planted monocultures of eight plant species commonly found in California grasslands to investigate the relative importance of plant species direct effects on ni...

ABSTRACT Although the isolated effects of cyanobacteria Anabaena cylindrica and bacteria Azospirillum brasilense are well-known, co-inoculation both can promote other benefits to corn plants’ biological nitrogen fixation growth. The aim was evaluate initial growth chloroplast pigment levels hybrids co-inoculated with A. cylindrica. experiment conducted in greenhouse conditions using completely ...

M A N Y characters which would-be desirable in cultivated crops are known to exist in related species and genera. The most striking examples of such characters are the resistances to various diseases. Where hybridization can be achieved between the pertinent genera, attempts have been made to transfer genes for these desired characters into the genome of the cultivated species. Partially for th...

Aegilops tauschii Coss. is the D-genome donor to hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) and is the most promising wild species as a genetic resource for wheat breeding. To study the population structure and diversity of 81 Ae. tauschii accessions collected from various regions of its geographical distribution, the genomic representation of these lines were used to develop a diversity array t...
