DOBZHANSKY, SPASSKY and TIDWELL ( 1963) have reported experiments on the effects of inbreeding on the egg to adult viability in progenies of Drosophila pseudoobscura females collected in several places in Arizona and California. As expected, the inbred progenies were less viable than the outbred ones, and the greater degree of inbreeding (brother-sister mating) gave a greater reduction of the v...

The hedgehog (Hh)/glioma-associated oncogene (GLI) signaling network is among the most important and fascinating signal transduction systems that provide critical functions in the regulation of many developmental and physiological processes. The coordinated spatiotemporal interplay of the Hh ligands and other growth factors is necessary for the stringent control of the behavior of diverse types...

A chlorophyll deficiency expressed as yellowing of leaves was observed in hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) progenies. Segregation ratios approximated 3 green : 1 yellow, indicating control by a single recessive gene designated chlorophyll deficient #1, for which the symbol c, is proposed. ‘Barcelona’, ‘Butler’, ‘Compton’, ‘Lansing’, Willamette’, and the ornamental selection ‘Redleaf #3’ are heter...

background: the goal of the present study was to report the results of two parallel works in which the incidence of fetal deaths and also congenital malformations among the progenies of the iranian chemical victims were studied. methods: the subjects were progenies of a randomly selected population from survivors of chemical attacks during iran-iraq conflict. totally 807 male cases ranged 18-85...

A field research was undertaken at the site of Mampong campus University Education, Winneba, Ghana to evaluate parents and progenies seven maize varieties. The main objective study identify high-yielding landraces hybrids heritability yield-related traits using diallel analysis. varieties (parents) used were: Aburopa, Aburonenkatie, Aburohoma, Kamaazie red, yellow, light red Obaatampa. These we...

cotton cultivar coker has been already transformed with recombinant pbi121-chi via agrobacterium tumefaciens. the t-dna region of pbi121-chi carries the chitinase (chi ) gene from bean and is under the control of the camv35s promoter. t1 and t2 progenies of transgenic cotton containing the chi gene were used in this study.  polymerase chain reaction (pcr), southern and western blotting data con...

French bean is one of the most important staple foods in many parts world. Among several bacterial, fungal and viral diseases, anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum lindemuthianum widespread severe disease bean. Therefore, present study was undertaken as prebreeding effort with objective introgression resistance gene Co-4 elite cultivar. Hybridization between resistant genotype, TO having cultiv...
