to compare the performance of fifteen hybrids of silkworm, bombyx mori l. under natural rearing conditions on the farm level and determine their resistance to grasserie disease, an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized design (15 treatments and five replications) for either of non-infected or infected to npv conditions. treatments included hybrids xinhang1?koming1, xinhang1?koming...

We compared white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virctinianus) use of 15 field corn (Zea mays) hybrids grown in food plots near 3 deer wintering areas in southwestern Minnesota, 1987-88. Physical and morphological characteristics of corn varied significantly among sites, subplots and among hybrids. Deer use of hybrids was significantly different and 5 use groups of hybrids were identified. A significa...

introduction: cloning an individual by transferring somatic nuclei into enucleated recipient oocytes has already been well established. this technology also offers new opportunities to restore threatened species with interspecies somatic cell nuclear transfer (scnt). however, few mammalian species have been studied for their reproductive biology whereas huge differences have been observed betwe...

Hybrids were prepared between Y79 retinoblastoma (RB) and nonmalignant NIH3T3 cells and studied to confirm the presumed recessiveness of RB. Twenty hybrids containing both of the dominant gene markers, pSV2neo and pSV2GPT, initially transfected into the parent cells were isolated. All of the hybrids showed a fibroblastic morphology and anchorage-dependent growth. None of the tested hybrids or t...

Field trials were conducted from 2007 to 2010 to compare grain fumonisin levels among non-Bt maize hybrids and Bt hybrids with transgenic protection against manual infestations of European corn borer (ECB) and Western bean cutworm (WBC). HPLC and ELISA were used to measure fumonisin levels. Results of the methods were highly correlated, but ELISA estimates were higher. Bt hybrids experienced le...

Ten tomato commercial and productive single cross hybrids extensively grown in Northern Transitional Zone of Karnataka were planted in the field at UAS, Dharwad following RBD design with three replications. A 10 x 10 diallel set was generated by crossing these single cross hybrids in all possible combinations (excluding reciprocals) and 45 double cross hybrids were planted during February, 2007...

We have synthesized a series of S-allyl cysteine ester-caffeic acid amide hybrids and evaluated them in order to determine their possible anticancer activity and selectivity in colorectal cancer, which is still one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. All compounds were tested against SW480 human colon adenocarcinoma cells and the non-malignant CHO-K1 cell line. Among the...

Hybrids of Lucilia sericata and Lucilia cuprina have been shown to exist in previous studies using molecular methods, but no study has shown explicitly that these hybrids can be identified morphologically. Published morphological characters used to identify L. sericata and L. cuprina were reviewed, and then scored and tested using specimens of both species and known hybrids. Ordination by multi...

in order to estimate heritability, heterosis, general and specific combining ability and relationships between them in traits of fruit number per plant, days to the first fruit harvest, yield per plant, average fruit weight and rind thickness, seven local populations of iranian melon (‘tashkandi’, ‘khatouni’, ‘garmak’, ‘aran1’, ‘mirpanji’, ‘suski-e-sabz’ and ‘golpaygan’) were crossed using a co...
