Understanding the genetic basis of adaptation to novel environments remains one of the major challenges confronting evolutionary biologists. While newly developed genomic approaches hold considerable promise for addressing this overall question, the relevant tools have not often been available in the most ecologically interesting organisms. Our study organism, Drosophila mojavensis, is a cactop...

This study with aims to investigate the effect of nutrient solution sulfonated silicon elemental sulfur S8 in mini-tuber production potato cultivars greenhouse Potato Research Station Ardabil Province, Iran was done during April till August 2022. experiment carried out based on factorial experimental design two factors and three repetitions. The first factor levels including: 1. foliar spraying...

two different propagation procedures including aeroponics and soil systems were compared for the minitubers production in potato. the minitubers were evaluated for several quality characters. the plant materials were from three cultivars, agria, marfona and savalan. the plantlets were grown in aeroponics and soil production systems at a plant density of 100 plants per m-2 and stem length, root ...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects different doses gibberellic acid (GA3) on growth, tuber yield and some quality traits potato. experiment arranged in a split-plot design with three replicates, cultivars Marabel, Alegria Agria were main plots, GA3 (0, 25, 50 100 mg L-1) sub-plots. Gibberellic applied leaves by spraying 50th day after planting (during flowering). application...

We assessed the effects of temperature differences on gene expression using whole-transcriptome microarrays and cuticular hydrocarbon variation in populations of cactophilic Drosophila mojavensis. Four populations from Baja California and mainland Mexico and Arizona were each reared on two different host cacti, reared to sexual maturity on laboratory media, and adults were exposed for 12 hr to ...
