abstract in order to study the inheritance of grain yield and its components in bread wheat, two cultivars, karchyya(drought and salinity tolerant) and gaspard (sensitive to drought and salinity stress) were crossed.parents together with f1, f2, f3, bc1and bc2 generations were evaluated using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2008-2009 growing season.grain weight per...

the mode of agronomic traits inheritance was investigated in safflower (carthamus tinctorius l.) in drought stress as a new report. five generation including p1, p2, f1, f2 and f3 that derived from the cross of il.111 (drought sensitive) ×mex.22-191 (drought tolerance) were used in a randomized complete block design with two replications. generation mean analysis was used to estimate genetic pa...

the objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters and to investigate the type of gene action in controlling androgenesis in wheat. two wheat cultivars of grebe and houtman were reciprocally crossed with two synthetic genotypes of do1 and pol and then a complete set of the parents, f1, reciprocal f1 (rf1), f2 and back-cross generations (bc1 and bc2) of each cross were used for anthe...

in this study, the effect of maternal additive genetic and environment on body weight at 6 weeks (bwt6w), breast width (hbrs), carcass weight (carcwt), breast weight (brswt), blood hematocrit value (hem), residual feed intake (rfi), daily feed intake (dfi) and average daily gain (adg) were investigated in a commercial broiler dam line. with and without maternal effects, six different animal mod...

influence of maternal and sire-generation interaction effects on day-old chick' weight was investigated in two commercial broiler sire and dam lines, and in mazandaran native fowls. the data were analysed through restricted maximum likelihood (reml) procedures, using asreml software. ten different animal models were implemented and compared with likelihood ratio test. all models consisted ...

Caenorhabditis elegans strains carrying stress-reporter green fluorescent protein transgenes were used to explore patterns of response to metals. Multiple stress pathways were induced at high doses by most metals tested, including members of the heat shock, oxidative stress, metallothionein (mtl) and xenobiotic response gene families. A mathematical model (to be published separately) of the gen...

The Booroola fecundity gene (FecB) and growth differentiation factor 9 (GDF9) gene belong to the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) superfamily. The mutations of these genes have additive effects on the prolificacy in sheep. The aim of the present study was to determine the possible mutations of FecB and FecGH genes in Lory sheep breed of the Lorestan province, Iran. Sixty...

Several studies have shown that neuropeptide Y (NPY) is considered to be one of the key regulators of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in the mammals. Also, kisspeptin is a powerful upstream regulator of gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons in the hypothalamus. The present study aims to investigate the effects of the intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of NPY and BIBP3226 (NPY rece...
