To understand the responsive nature to excess water, a pot experiment was conducted at different growth stages of sesame (Sesamum indicum L. cv. BARI Til-4). The waterlogging stress each stage set three durations, viz. 2, 4, and 6 days. Twelve treatment combinations were replicated times arranged in completely randomized design. Different morpho-physiological yield parameters measured after com...

House mice offer a powerful system for dissecting the genetic basis of phenotypes that isolate species in the early stages of speciation. We used a series of reciprocal crosses between wild-derived strains of Mus musculus and M. domesticus to examine F(1) hybrid male sterility, one of the primary phenotypes thought to isolate these species. We report four main results. First, we found significa...

Capturing the process of speciation early enough to determine the initial genetic causes of reproductive isolation remains a major challenge in evolutionary biology. We have found, to our knowledge, the first example of substantial intraspecific polymorphism for genetic factors contributing to hybrid male sterility. Specifically, we show that the occurrence of hybrid male sterility in crosses b...

supplementary irrigation is a key factor in dryland production of lentil (lens culinaris medik.). in order to study the effects of supplementary irrigation on phenological and morphological characters of three lentil (lens culinaris medik.) cultivars, a trial carried out as split block based on randomized complete block design with three replications at research field of agricultural college, f...

Development, reproduction and acaricide susceptibility of Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduvals) (Acari: Tetranychidae) were investigated after long-term (about 40 generations) exposure to various levels of acid rain; pH 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, and 5.6. Deionized water (pH 6.8) served as a control. The mites were reared on eggplant leaves at 28 degrees C, 80%RH and a photoperiod of 14:10 (L:D) in the lab...

In the framework of Wigner function formalism we investigated strange and charm quark-pair production in the early stage of heavy ion collisions. According to our model the particle production is initiated by an external time-dependent color field, that simulates an overlap of two colliding ions and color charge separation. The calculations were performed in an SU(2)-color model with finite cur...
