background: alpha particle irradiation from radon progeny is one of the major natural sources of effective dose in the public population. oncogenic transformation is a biological effectiveness of radon progeny alpha particle hits. the biological effects which has caused by exposure to radon, were the main result of a complex series of physical, chemical, biological and physiological interaction...

The use of open-pollinated seeds from seed orchards is a common strategy for the deployment genetically improved eucalypts, including Eucalyptus globulus, an important pulpwood tree in many temperate climate areas. However, quality can be affected by rate selfing and to lesser extent contamination pollen outside orchard. Inbreeding between related parents especially self-crosses known cause dim...

Fetal programming suggests that maternal stimulation and nutrition during the period of fetal development can program progeny. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), an isomer acid, has been characterized in several aspects, but few studies have performed on its involvement reproduction programming. The aim this study was to evaluate F1, F2 F3 progeny female mice supplemented with CLA pregestational g...

secale montanum is one of the important perennial grasses growingnaturally in arid to semiarid pastures and rangelands, with a typical mediterraneanclimate, in northern and western iran at altitudes of 800-2900 m. in this paper, seedstorage protein profiles of nine wild populations of s. montanum from differentregions of iran and their phenotypically superior progenies as well as a multi-origin...

this study investigated the effect of dietary supplementation with calcium salts of fatty acids using 48 afshari ewes randomly allocated to four treatments. all groups used in flushing period and only the source of energy were different between rations. the ewes were divided into four groups: a-barely grain; group b-received 5% of csfa with source of flaxseed oil (w3); group c-received 5% of cs...

regions on three ovine chromosomes (oar1, oar5 and oar25) were selected to study quantitative trait loci (qtl) segregating for wool traits in baluchi sheep. a total of 503 progeny from 13 half-sib families were genotyped for 15 microsatellite markers. the average number of progeny per sire was 38 and ranged between 16 and 59. data were collected from research centre on baluchi breed in 2009 and...

Background: Decay products of radon and thoron present in indoor environment are the most important sources of radiation from natural sources which affect human beings, since general public spend at lest 80% of their time in indoor. Materials and Methods: Air samples were collected for measuring the concentration of radon and thoron daughter products from various indoor environments d...
