Climate change calls for novel approaches to include environmental effects in future breeding programs forage crops. A set of ryegrasses (Lolium) varieties was evaluated multiple European environments crown rust (Puccinia coronata f. sp. lolii) and stem (P. graminis graminicola) resistance. Additive Main Effect Multiplicative Interaction (AMMI) analysis revealed significant genotype (G) environ...

our  previous  studies demonstrated  the  preventive effect  of  nigella  sativa  extract  on asthma and water-soluble substances of this extract, especially its methanol fraction were responsible for this relaxation on contracted tracheal chains of guinea pigs. for the first time, the present study has been conducted to determine the main constituents of its methanolic extract. four constituen...

BACKGROUND Both anxiety and elevated heart rate (HR) have been implicated in the development of hypertension. The HyperGen cohort, consisting of siblings with severe and mild hypertension, an age-matched random sample of persons from the same base populations, and unmedicated adult offspring of the hypertensive siblings (N = 1,002 men and 987 women), was analyzed for an association of the angio...

Wheat is an important source of energy and nutrition including antioxidants having health benefits to humans. In this investigation, 19 12 prominent wheat genotypes grown (during cropping season 2019-20) at three locations in two production environments representing North-Western Plains Zone (NWPZ) Central (CZ), respectively, were used for evaluating their antioxidant potential. There was a sig...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate effect two dietary protein levels on performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality parameters in fast- (Ross 308), medium- (JA757), slow-growing (ISA Dual) chickens assess interaction factors. Each genotype divided into a control group fed commercial type feed mixture an experimental low-protein diet (LP). trial terminated after common perio...

The research was carried out in Adana conditions to determine the relati-onships between seed yield and components of some soybean ge-notypes depending on years. In this research, which 2015 2016 years, it established with 5 varieties one variety candidate according Randomized Complete Block De-sign 4 replications. combined analysis variance, year*genotype interaction insignificant terms compon...

Deficiency of iron and zinc causes micronutrient malnutrition or hidden hunger, which severely affects ~25% of global population. Genetic biofortification of maize has emerged as cost effective and sustainable approach in addressing malnourishment of iron and zinc deficiency. Therefore, understanding the genetic variation and stability of kernel micronutrients and grain yield of the maize inbre...

Population density is an important determinant of crop yield. For optimum production, the best spacing requirement must be adopted. Although recommended mungbean abundant in literature globally, there no such information on studies conducted within derived savannah agroecological zone southeast Nigeria, despite crop’s usefulness as food, green manure, and nitrogen fixer. We hypothesized that ma...
