Sugarcane breeding programs require 15 years of experimentation to create more productive cultivars, and estimates genetic progress can indicate the efficiency programs. In this study, we used a diversity panel, Brazilian Panel Genotypes (BPSG), with following objectives: (i) estimate, through mixed model, adjusted means parameters ten traits evaluated over three harvest years; (ii) estimate ge...

alzheimer's disease (ad) is the most common form of neurodegenerative disorders. memory loss in an alert person and impairment in the function of language, attention, perception, judgment or problem solving can occur in patients with ad. however, there are some medications in order to delay the debilitating aspects of the disease; but unfortunately, scientists could not found approaches to...

Developing effective selection programs for improving the performance of livestock requires taking the economical selection indices into account. The present study was performed for comparing four selection indices developed in Kermani sheep through simulated data. The relative importance of traits was determined based on the estimated economic values and consequently, the most beneficial trait...

colorectal cancer is one of the most common malignancy in the world and the second cancer-related death, many molecular and genetic aspects of this disease have been cleared as chromosomal instability and the role of some key proteins as wnt/? catenin, trypsin and others. also recently the role of folate turnover and some neurotransmitters as serotonin were also considered. the scope of this re...

Many agriculturally important traits are complex, affected by many genes and the environment. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping is a key tool for studying the genetic structure of complex traits in plants. In the present study QTLs associated with yield and agronomical traits such as leaf number, leaf length, leaf width, plant height, stem and head diameter were identified by using 70 recom...
