The eggplant (Solanum melongena) semi-long black varietal type is the most important in most European markets. Although open pollinated, pure lines and F1 hybrid cultivars exist within this varietal group, the latter predominate in the commercial production of eggplants, especially under greenhouse conditions. However, molecular markers studies have found that modern F1 hybrids present a reduce...

One of the complex documents in the real world is city maps. In these kinds of maps, text labels overlap by graphics with having a variety of fonts and styles in different orientations. Usually, text and graphic colour is not predefined due to various map publishers. In most city maps, text and graphic lines form a single connected component. Moreover, the common regions of text and graphic lin...

in order to study of drought tolerance levels in some wheat lines and cultivars based on uniform regional wheat yield trial (urwyt-m-75) an experiment was carried out using a strip plot design based on complete block design with 3 replications for two years (1998-2000) in torogh agricultural research station (mashhad, iran). the main plots (horizontal factor) were 3 levels of irrigation: 10, 20...

yield stability of 17 genotypes including eight of tritipyrum lines, five promising triticale lines and four iranian bread wheat varieties were studied in a randomized completely block design with three replications in seven environment during growing seasons of 2001-2002, 2002-2003, 2005-2006 and 2010-2011 in three locations. analysis of additive main effects and multiplicative interaction eff...

This is an introductory exposition to background material useful to appreciate various formulations of the Mordell–Lang conjecture (now established by recent spectacular work due to Vojta, Faltings, Hrushovski, Buium, Voloch, and others). It gives an exposition of some of the elementary and standard constructions of algebro-geometric models (rather than model-theoretic ones) with applications (...

Leaf rust is an important disease, threatening wheat production annually. Identification of resistance genes or QTLs for effective field resistance could greatly enhance our ability to breed durably resistant varieties. We applied a genome wide association study (GWAS) approach to identify resistance genes or QTLs in 338 spring wheat breeding lines from public and private sectors that were pred...

A collection of 157 Triticum aestivum accessions, representative of wheat breeding in Italy during the 20(th) century, was assembled to describe the evolutionary trends of cultivated varieties throughout this period. The lines were cultivated in Italy, in two locations, over two growing seasons, and evaluated for several agronomical, morphological and qualitative traits. Analyses were conducted...
