Physiological uniformity and genetic effects on canopy-level gas-exchange and hydraulic function could impact loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) plantation sustainability and ecosystem dynamics under projected changes in climate. Over a 1-year period, we examined genetic effects on mean and maximum mid-day canopy conductance (Gs, Gsmax) and transpiration (E, max-E) within a juvenile loblolly pine p...

The original definition of a topological space given by Hausdorff used neighborhood systems. Lattice-valued maps appear in this context when you identify a topology with a monoid in the Kleisli category of the filter monad on SET. H?hle’s notion of a lattice-valued topology [2] uses the same idea and it’s inspired in the classical lattice-valued topologies. Ltopological spaces are motivated by ...

Environmental pollution and emissions, along with the increasing production and distribution of goods, have placed the future of humanity at stake. Today, measures such as the extensive reduction in emissions, especially of CO2 and CO, have been emphasized by most researchers as a solution to the problem of environmental protection. This paper sought to explore production routing pro...

Five upland cotton cultivars were crossed in a complete diallel crossing system to investigate inheritance pattern and combining ability of parents for different fiber quality traits like staple length, fiber strength, fineness and uniformity. The study was carried out in the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad during the years 2005-07. Highly signif...

Natural populations of Daphnia magna have been found which are polymorphic for electrophoretic variants of supernatant malic dehydrogenase, esterase, and alkaline phosphatase. Using these enzyme variants as genetic markers it has been possible to demonstrate the absence of recombination during parthenogenetic reproduction. Genetic uniformity is expected within parthenogenetic clones derived fro...
