this study was conducted to evaluate genetic diversity of durum wheat cultivars using multivariate analyses on agronomic and morphological traits. thirty genotypes were planted in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2003. agronomic and morphological characteristics including days to flowering, days to pollination, days to maturity, plant height, spike length, grain wei...

Term extraction systems are now an integral part of the compiling of specialized dictionaries and updating of term banks. In this paper, we present a term detection approach that discovers, structures, and infers conceptual relationships between terms for French. Conceptual relationships are deduced from specific types of term variations, morphological and syntagmatic, and are expressed through...

Many polymorphisms exist in field bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis L.) populations. These differences that appear especially in their flower and leaf cause to different biotypes of this weed that are different in view of dry weight, rate- and flowering period. This research was accomplished during 2005 to 2006 at Weed Research Department, Iranian Plant Protection Research Institute for identifica...

Four populations of Culex tritaeniorhynchus (Giles) (Diptera: Culicidae), collected from Bellary, Cuddalore, Pune, and the Microbial Containment Complex laboratory culture in India were analyzed for morphological and allozyme variation. Multivariate analysis based on eight morphological characteristics and three morphometric indices was used to investigate the morphological variations among the...

Background: Black henbane with the scientific name of Hyoscyamus niger which has a wide geographic distribution, is considered as one the most important species for tropane alkaloids extraction. Objective: In this research, morphological and tropane alkaloids variations were assessed within different population of H. niger in their natural habitats. Methods: Totally, 56 individuals were colle...

Understanding the processes involved in evolution of organisms is a principal topic that has received much attention from the research community. A common way to achieve this is to study the ecological conditions and morphological relationships of taxa. Fish are widely regarded as notable animal models in studies of environmental influence on morphological features given their high environmenta...

A diversity of sensilla has been described in crustaceans, both across species and within a given species. However, few homologous setal types have been identified in crustaceans. In this study we examined setae with features of the hooded sensillum, which is a class of bimodal chemomechanosensilla first identified on antennules of the Caribbean spiny lobster Panulirus argus. We examined the an...
