fulani ecotype chickens (fec) and yoruba ecotype chickens (yec) are the two major types of indigenous chickens in nigeria. they subsist under traditional animal husbandry and are thus liable to indiscriminate mating and consequently to loss of genetic diversity. fulani ecotype chickens (fec) and yoruba ecotype chickens (yec) were investigated to determine genetic variation at transferrin locus ...

genetic diversity of 36 genotypes of dwarf and semi-dwarf apple rootstocks along with seven iranian dwarf rootstocks were investigated by use of rapd dna markers. a set of 100 random primers was utilized in pcr reaction from which 10 primers resulted in good amplification with high polymorphism. among primers, 10 selected rapd primers produced 160 bands, in which, 136 were polymorphic. cluster ...

Abstract Determination of genetic diversity level is important in clarifying genetic relationships, characterizing germplasm and the registration of new cultivars. In this study, genetic variation among 56 accessions (G1~G56) of Citrus including several undefined local or native genotypes and some known varieties in Jiroft, Kerman province, Iran was investigated using SSR markers. In total, 12 ...

After nitrogen stress, phosphorus is the second most widely occurring nutrient deficiency in cereal systems around the world. The objectives of this study were: (1) to look at the effect of changes in phosphorus use efficiency and responsiveness on grain yield and quality of triticale and durum wheat with respect to an old tall durum wheat of the early 1940s, Barrigon Yaqui. A two-year field ex...

The nutritive value of triticale distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) for broilers was investigated in 2 experiments. In experiment 1, four hundred male broilers housed in battery cages were fed diets including 15 or 30% triticale DDGS (extruded or not) or a basal diet, supplemented with or without a multi-enzyme complex from d 21 to 28. Birds were killed and ileal digesta was collected...

Fulani ecotype chickens (FEC) and Yoruba ecotype chickens (YEC) are the two major types of indigenous chickens in Nigeria. They subsist under traditional Animal husbandry and are thus liable to indiscriminate mating and consequently to loss of genetic diversity. Fulani ecotype chickens (FEC) and Yoruba ecotype chickens (YEC) were investigated to determine genetic variation at transferrin locus ...

Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) of the intergenic spacer region (IGS) of rDNA and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were used to survey genetic variability among 181 isolates of Sclerotinia homoeocarpa from Ontario and 10 isolates from Japan. RAPD and IGS-RFLP analyses revealed polymorphisms within and between populations of S. homoeocarpa, distinguishing 151 geno...
