Five species members of the Korean Hyrcanus Group: Anopheles pullus, Anopheles sinensis, Anopheles kleini, Anopheles belenrae, and Anopheles lesteri were tested for susceptibility to Brugia malayi. They were allowed to feed artificially on blood containing B. malayi microfilariae and dissected 14 days after feeding. The susceptibility rates were 60%, 65%, 90%, 100% and 100% in An. pullus, An. s...

Abstract The objective of this work was to assess the genetic control tolerance thermoinhibition in lettuce (Lactuca sativa) seeds. Seeds F1, F2, and F2:3 generations derived from cross between cultivars Everglades (tolerant thermoinhibition) Verônica (sensitive were used, besides seeds parents. Seed germination tests conducted a completely randomized design, with four replicates each parent, e...

water use efficiency is positively correlated with grain yield, and being used for indirect selection of high wheat yield in drought prone environments. yet little is known about genetic control of water use efficiency. in this research, a half diallel mating design was generated from crosses between 8 bread wheat to study the genetic of water use efficiency. parents and f1 progenies were plant...

The aims of this study were to compare the promoter sequence of the mannose-binding lectin (cMBL) gene in Iranian native and commercial chicken strains; as well as to compare the cMBL gene expression in crossbred and inbred chickens. In total 79 native (Western Azerbaijan native fowls, WANF) and 49 commercial (Arian Commercial Strain, ACS) birds were reared as parents under same management prac...

The objective of this work was to identify by biometric analyses the most stable soybean parents, with higher oil or protein contents, cultivated at different seasons and locations of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Forty‐nine genotypes were evaluated in the municipalities of Viçosa, Visconde do Rio Branco, and São Gotardo, in the state of Minas Gerais, from 2009 to 2011. Protein and oil con...

Allele Specific Amplification with four primers (External Antisense Primer, External Sense Primer, Internal Nonfragrant Sense Primer, and Internal Fragrant Antisense Primer) and sensory evaluation with leaves and grains were executed to identify aromatic rice genotypes and their F1 individuals derived from different crosses of 2 Malaysian varieties with 4 popular land races and 3 advance lines....
