Leymus mollis (2n = 4x = 28, NsNsXmXm) possesses novel and important genes for resistance against multi-fungal diseases. The development of new wheat-L. mollis introgression lines is of great significance for wheat disease resistance breeding. M11003-3-1-15-8, a novel disomic substitution line of common wheat cv. 7182 -L. mollis, developed and selected from the BC1F5 progeny between wheat cv. 7...

Small, J. A., Charmley, E., Rodd, A. V. and Fredeen, A. H. 1997. Serum mineral concentrations in relation to estrus and conception in beef heifers and cows fed conserved forage. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 77: 55–62. A study was undertaken to examine serum mineral concentrations in relation to estrus and first service conception (FSC) in beef cattle fed conserved forage. Blood samples were taken from ye...

The aneuploid stocks of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. subsp. durum (Desf.) Husnot) and common wheat (T. aestivum L.) have been developed mainly in 'Langdon' (LDN) and 'Chinese Spring' (CS) cultivars, respectively. The LDN-CS D-genome chromosome disomic substitution (LDN-DS) lines, where a pair of CS D-genome chromosomes substitute for a corresponding homoeologous A- or B-genome chromosome p...

Fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) is a key plant enzyme that is involved in glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and the Calvin cycle. It plays significant roles in biotic and abiotic stress responses, as well as in regulating growth and development processes. In the present paper, 21 genes encoding TaFBA isoenzymes were identified, characterized, and categorized into three groups: class I chlo...

Therefore, RGAs and RGLs have the potential to serve as closely linked markers for marker-assisted breeding Conserved motifs within resistance genes have been utilized in strategies, or they could be candidate R-genes thempolymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based strategies to isolate resistance gene analogs (RGAs) and resistance gene-like (RGLs) sequences from selves. many plant species. RGAs have...

OBJECTIVE Leptin is a highly hydrophilic protein that circulates in plasma as a 16-kDa protein. It is produced in adipose tissue and also recently described to be synthesized by placental tissue. Plasma concentration of leptin is positively correlated to body fat mass, and administration of recombinant leptin to mice indicates that leptin participates in the regulation of food intake and energy...

OBJECTIVE There have been indications that high intake of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) during pregnancy may increase birth weight and gestational length. In addition, n-3 long-chain PUFAs may be important for the neurobiological development of the infants. High levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6 n-3) are found in the gray matter of the cerebral cortex and in the ret...

The glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) zymogram phenotypes of a series of 15 translocation lines, a chromosome addition line and a chromosome substitution line were determined. In each of the translocation lines a segment of the long arm of Triticum aestivum chromosome 3D has been replaced by a portion of an Agropyron elongatum homoeologue. Evidence was obtained that the products of the ...

Sistemi informatici sempre più complessi sono ormai costantemente parte della vita di tutti i giorni di milioni di persone. Le applicazioni software che gestiscono questi sistemi informatici diventano man mano sempre più grosse e difficili da gestire e per questo l’incidenza del numero di bug al loro interno è diventata sempre più alta. La creazione di un software perfetto, ossia senza bug, è u...
