MMUNOLOGICAL methods have so often been employed as a means of I differentiating species, particularly in animals but also in plants, that it is almost a truism to state that antigenic differences are one of the more important criteria by which qualitative differences between species may be assayed. In animal species, the serum antigens have been somewhat more widely used in such comparisons th...

Abstract As high-entropy alloys receive an increasing amount of attention, interesting scientific question arises: can grain boundaries be “high entropy”? In 2016, we proposed “high-entropy boundaries” as the boundary counterparts to materials. Here, discuss underlying interfacial thermodynamics elaborate relevant concepts. We emphasize that are neither equivalent in materials nor simply “compo...

Monogenic inheritance and linkage among four morphological traits of lentil were established on the basis of F1 observations and analysis of 204 F2 plants in a cross for development of pubescence on peduncle, 228 F2 plants in a cross for tendril formation, 574 F2 plants in 5 crosses for flower numbers per peduncle and 464 F2 plants in 4 crosses for flower color under field conditions. Developme...

Free-ranging groups are frequently assorted by phenotypic characters. However, very little is known about the underlying processes that determine this structuring. In this study, we investigate the mechanisms underlying the phenotypic composition of shoals of guppies (Poecilia reticulata) in a high-predation stream in Trinidad’s Northern Mountain Range. We collected 57 entire wild shoals, which...

Segregation for 289 random amplified polymorphic DNA markers (RAPDs) has been determined in 106 F z plants of an interspecific hybrid (H27) between M icro~eris douglasii (strain B14) and M. bigelovii (C94). Multicelluar trichomes ("type D", specific for Microseris) occur on the leaf teeth of early vegetative rosettes of the B 14 parent and on the leaf blades of later rosettes in both parents. T...

The aim of this study was to analyze the morphological variation of brown trout (Salmo trutta) in the Duero basin, an Atlantic river basin in the Iberian Peninsula, where a spatial segregation of two divergent lineages was previously reported, based on isozyme, microsatellite and mtDNA data. In these studies, two divergent pure regions (Pisuerga and Lower-course) and several hybrid populations ...

sometimes when hybridization in quantitative traits due to occurring of transgressive segregation phenomena in f2 and other generations, phenotypes are observed that are outside the scope of their parents. transgressive segregates can be fixed via selfing and selection. classical genetic and qtl studies know complementary action of genes as the main reason for the occurrence of the above phenom...
