eight forage sorghum cultivars (sweet jumbo, nectar, chopper, pacific bmr, speed feed, kfs1, kfs2 and kfs3) were assessed to determine the most suitable traits carrying cultivar, through a randomized complete block design with four replications during 2003-2005. ammonium phosphate (basd on p2o5) was applied at 115 kg/ha and 183 kg/ha of nitrogen (urea-based) at four application times. six trait...

HE X-linked white locus of Drosophila melanogaster is a complex region of Tthe chromosome which has been subdivided into a number of sites (LEWIS 1952; MACKENDRICK and PONTECORVO 1952; GREEN 1959, 1964; JUDD 1959, 1964).
