In order to choose an efficient breeding procedure, it is necessary to have knowledge of the genetic system controlling agronomically important traits. Common bean is one of the major legumes containing large amount of proteins and other valuable nutrients. The aim of this study was to determine genetic parameters for yield and yield components, using six generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1, and B...

Background: Salt affected areas have increased day by because of excessive use irrigation water with improper drainage coupled the poor quality water. The assessment genetic divergence existing in germplasm collections is very important for success hybridization programme leading to development high yielding varieties. Methods: experiment on 113 genotypes (aromatic and non-aromatic rice) includ...

Our understanding of the evolutionary history and ecology of cave-associated species has been driven historically by studies of morphologically adapted cave-restricted species. Our understanding of the evolutionary history and ecology of nonrestricted cave species, troglophiles, is limited to a few studies, which present differing accounts of troglophiles' relationship with the cave habitat, an...

In this paper, we analyze variation in spectral reflectance and color pattern among populations to demonstrate dramatic divergence between four distinct morphs of the mimic poison frog Ranitomeya imitator. We also analyze genetic divergence in d-loop mtDNA sequences between populations. We then use coalescent-based simulations to demonstrate that the high levels of observed phenotypic divergenc...

Pistacia atlantica is the most important tree species for the economy of many rural areas in west of Iran, but no effort has been made for the genetic improvement of this species. The aim of this investigation was to study the genetic variation and inheritance of early growth traits in P. atlantica. For this purpose, three wild pistachio populations comprising 60 randomly selected adult trees f...

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is one of the tastiest fruits in world, with numerous advantages beyond their economic value. Eleven genotypes mango various cultivars were examined for variability, heritability, and genetic advance, as well multivariate analysis based on cluster principal component (PCA) yield some its contributing traits during two growing seasons, 2021 2022. All studied showed si...
