in order to evaluation of squash (cucurbita pepo) seed yield per fruit and its relations with other characteristics of fruit include: length, diameter, length: diameter ratio (fruit shape), flesh thickness, thousand seed weight and fruit weight, an experiment was conducted using 24 accessions of squash as a randomized complete-block design with three replications. morphological traits were eval...

The major lipids ofthedogfish (Squalusacanthias) are the diacyl glyceryl ethers and triglycerides. These classes of compounds in the flesh (dorsal section) and liver were separated by thin-layer chromatography. The glyceryl ethers and/or fatty acids resulting from saponification of each of these fractions were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography as their isopropylidene and methyl ester deriva...
