to identify qtls controlling grain yield and yield components, an f2 population consisting of 188 plants derived from the cross between two rice pure lines, binam and kadous, were grown in research field of faculty of agricultural sciences, university of guilan, rasht, iran, in 2008, and were recorded for 9 important traits related to grain yield. to construct linkage map, 85 marker of ssrs and...

Karyological characteristics of bighead goby (Neogobius kessleri) in the Caspian Sea were studied by examining 30 metaphase chromosome spreads from the kidney tissue of 10 specimens. The chromosome number of this species was found 2n=46 and the arm number as NF=46. The prepared karyotype of this species consisted of 23 pairs acro-telocentric (a-t) chromosomes. The chromosomal formula can be sta...

the objective of this study was to estimate the effective number of breeders in sarabi cattle population using heterozygote-excess method based on single nucleotide polymorphism markers. data consisted of 20 sarabi cows. snp genotyping was performed using illumina high-density bovine beadchip designed to genotype 777,962 snps. average observed heterozygosity, expected heterozygosity, minor alle...

The karyotypic characteristics of   chub, Squalius cephalus have been investigated by examining metaphase chromosomes spreads obtained from gill and kidney tissues. The fish used in the study were caught with fishing nets from Dumlu Stream, one of the main tributaries of the Karasu River. The live fish were transported to the laboratory,  kept in a well aerated aquarium before analysis and then...

background: lymphocytes of fanconi anemia (fa) show an increased sensitivity to the alkylating agents such as mitomycin c (mmc), but their responses to gamma-irradiation is controversial. the extent of dna damage in leukocytes of fa patients following irradiation and mmc treatment was studied at cellular and single chromosome level. methods: dna damage induced by gamma-rays and mmc was measured...
