Eggplant is a vegetable crop with high economic value that cultivated worldwide. The dwarf mutant an important germplasm material has been extensively used in breeding. However, no eggplant mutants have reported, and little known regarding the genes responsible for dwarfism eggplant. In this study, we isolated (dwf) from ethyl methyl sulfonate (EMS)-induced library. Genetic analysis revealed dw...

Abstract Our objective was to evaluate the reproductive performance of Holstein nulliparous heifers carrying SLICK1 mutation and half-sisters not mutation. Heifers were born between November March 2020 two sires heterozygous for dominant allele raised in four dairy farms San Joaquin Tulare basins California Central Valley. bred from January September 2021 according farm protocols. Data obtained...

Either by selective breeding for population divergence or by using natural population differences, T2 and advanced generation hybrids can be deveIoped vith high variances. We relate the size of the genetic lariance to the population divergence based on a forvard and backward mutation model at a locus with :wo alleles with additive gene action. The effects of Jopulation size and initial gene fre...

Sesame production and productivity are severely constrained by a lack of high-yielding locally adapted varieties, susceptibility to capsule shattering low seed retention, biotic abiotic stresses, modern pre- post-harvest technologies. Unimproved landraces widely cultivated in sub-Saharan Africa, including Ethiopia. The landrace varieties yielders (<0.6 tons·ha?1), but they possess intrinsic ...

In order to have successful application of genomic selection, reference population and marker density should be chosen properly. This study purpose was to investigate the accuracy of genomic estimated breeding values in terms of low (5K), intermediate (50K) and high (777K) densities in the simulated populations, when different scenarios were applied about the reference populations selecting. Af...

Gamma irradiation was used at different doses (80, 160 and 240 Gy) on Glycine Max (L.) Merrill cv. Hill homogenous seeds. A single suitable M2 plant was selected and evaluated at M3 and M4 along with its parent and three other varieties as control in RCBD experiment in Sari Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University’s experimental field. M-8...
