BACKGROUND AND AIMS With the advent of transgenic crops, genetically modified, herbicide-resistant Brassica napus has become a model system for examining the risks and potential ecological consequences of escape of transgenes from cultivation into wild compatible species. Escaped transgenic feral B. napus and hybrids with compatible weedy species have been identified outside of agriculture and ...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is an important forage source for livestock, while wild cassavas (maniçoba and pornunça – Manihot sp.), native from Brazilian semi-arid have the potential to feed ruminants in drylands. We hypothesized that maniçoba a chemical composition morphophysiological responses similar cassava cultivars. Nine plants were evaluated, six accessions (BGMS 20, BGMS 21, 22, ...

There seems to be no limit to the complexity of computations that genetic linkage analysts want to do. Two primary factors that increase the length of computations are pedigree loops and unknown genotypes. I describe the implementation in FASTLINK of some algorithmic improvements to partly address the problems of pedigree loops and unknown genotypes. LINKAGE is by far the most popular software ...

Almonds are one of the most popular nuts, cultivated in countries with Mediterranean climates. In an almond orchard self-incompatible cultivar ‘Ferragnes’ Greece, a tree different morphological characteristics and signs self-compatibility was observed. The aim this study to phenotype, investigate trait, elucidate phylogenetic background tree, named ‘Mars’. Morphological traits kernel nut were m...

in this paper, sufficient conditions for the existence ofcommon fixed points for a compatible pair of self maps of gregustype in the framework of convex metric spaces have been obtained.also, established the existence of common fixed points for a pair ofcompatible mappings of type (b) and consequently for compatiblemappings of type (a). the proved results generalize and extend someof the well k...
