Lonicera macranthoides is an important traditional Chinese herb. The lack of information regarding the genetic structure and genetic relationships among its cultivars has hindered the conservation and utilization of this resource. This study used start codon targeted markers to assess the genetic diversity and other genetic characteristics of five single-variety L. macranthoides populations in ...

The aim of this study was to analyze genetic diversity and population structure among varieties of White (N = 40), Red (N = 32), and Black (N = 31) Morada Nova hair sheep from flocks in the northeastern Brazilian semiarid region. Fifteen nuclear microsatellite markers and two regions of mitochondrial DNA were used. The intra-population analysis demonstrated that the White variety had higher div...

Genetic variation is needed for developing new superior varieties in plant breeding. of chili plants could be increased by inducing mutation with gamma rays irradiation. The aim this study was to determine radiosensitivity two local pepper calculating the lethal dose values at LD20 and LD50. Chili (Capsicum frutescens L.) seeds origin from Tulungagung Ponorogo were irradiated cobalt-60 doses of...

This paper theoretically compares the performance of simulated annealing and evolutionary algorithms. Our main result is that under mild conditions a wide variety of evolutionary algorithms can be shown to have greater probability of success than simulated annealing after a suuciently large number of function evaluations. This class of EAs includes variants of evolution strategies and evolution...

Mental retardation (MR) is one of the most frequently found major genetic disorders around the world, affecting 1-3% of the people in the general population. The recent advancement in molecular biology and cytogenetic study has made possible the identification of new genes for a variety of genetic disorders including autosomal recessive MR. Recessive genetic disorders are common in Pakistan due...

We investigated maximal Prym varieties on finite fields by attaining their upper bounds on the number of rational points. This concept gave us a motivation for defining a generalized definition of maximal curves i.e. maximal morphisms. By MAGMA, we give some non-trivial examples of maximal morphisms that results in non-trivial examples of maximal Prym varieties.

introduction agricultural research is important and one of the determinant factors of development of technologies in agricultural sector. among agricultural research disciplines, breeding programs, especially, wheat breeding programs are one of the applied approaches in improving of production and food security. based on a study by byerlee & traxler (1995), economic benefits and internal rate o...

The study of the realization productivity potential main ear in winter wheat plants shows that Pamyat variety most fully realizes inherent genetic potential, forms a well-executed ear, but it is inferior to experimental varieties yield, which explained by lower level productive bushiness this variety. Varieties Kurs, Adel and Kalym, formed high yield indicators, due more powerful density standi...
