BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular system is a very importantorgan that plays a vital role in tissue function. In farm animals,the growth and high milk production depends on function ofcardiovascular system. OBJECTIVES: Cardiovascular health inhigh and low-yielding dairy cows was investigated. METHODS:Fifty 4-year-old high- yielding Holstein dairy cows and fifty 4-year-old low- yielding Holstein dairy ...

Extremely short, high yielding cultivars of all crop plants are needed to optimize the food production of bioregenerative life support systems in space. In the early 1980's, we examined over a thousand wheat genotypes from the world germplasm collection in search of genotypes with appropriate characteristics for food production in space. Here we report the results of 12 years of hybridization a...

Energy crops can provide a sustainable source of power and fuels, and mitigate the negative effects of CO2 emissions associated with fossil fuel use. Miscanthus is a perennial C4 energy crop capable of producing large biomass yields whilst requiring low levels of input. Miscanthus is largely unimproved and therefore there could be significant opportunities to increase yield. Further increases i...

the objective of this research was to study genotype×environment interaction and to evaluate stability analysis of grain yield in chickpea genotypes under rainfed condition. experimental material was comprised of 17 genotypes with the experiments carried out in rcbd of four replications at kermanshah, lorestan, ilam, gachsaran and gorgan research stations during the two years of 2003-2004. the ...

Present study was undertaken to estimate the magnitude of genotype × environment interaction (GEI) and identify stability improved high-yielding varieties Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L. Czerns & coss.). The 57 genotypes were evaluated in RBD along with three replications during Rabi crop seasons environments. Analysis variance on 14 traits carried out individually as well pooled over Yi...
