The physiology and genetics behind fruiting efficiency, a promising spike trait to improve wheat yield potential
(Oxford University Press, 2021-03)
The fruiting efficiency (FE, grains per g of spike dry weight at anthesis) was proposed as a promising spike trait to improve wheat yield potential, based on its functional relationship with grain number determination (the ...
Characterization of camel fibers in regions of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan
(2014-03)
To generate information on Central Asian camel fiber quality, fiber samples of 712 camels from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan were characterized. Fixed effects involved geographical location, animal age, sex, coat color and ...
Improving accuracy of breeding values by incorporating genomic information in spatial - competition mixed models
(2017-10)
Climate change and the increasing demand for sustainable energy resources require urgent strategies to increase the accuracy of selection in tree breeding (associated with higher gain). We investigated the combined pedigree ...
Implementation of a cashmere goat breeding program amongst nomads in Southern Iran
(2015-08)
A breeding program to improve income from Raeini cashmere herds run by nomads in Southern Iran was implemented. Eight nomads agreed on improving fleece weight, body weight and down yield while reducing cashmere fibre ...
Glyphosate resistance in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is associated with a fitness penalty
(2016)
The net selection effect of herbicides on herbicide-resistance traits in weeds is conditioned by the fitness benefits and costs associated with resistance alleles. Fitness costs play an important evolutionary role preventing ...
Early rooting and flooding tolerance in cuttings from a Populus deltoides full-sib family under greenhouse conditions
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2020-10-26)
Populus deltoides is an important forest tree, with elite genotypes propagated mainly as unrooted dormant cuttings. Several areas where P. deltoides is planted periodically experience flooding episodes. The aims of this ...
Implementation of a cashmere goat breeding program amongst nomads in Southern Iran
(2015)
Un programa de cría para mejorar los ingresos de los rebaños de cachemira Raeini dirigidos por nómadas en el sur de Irán se puso en práctica. Ocho nómadas estuvieron de acuerdo en mejorar el peso del cuerpo y el rendimiento ...
Do Texas Angora bucks improve mohair weight and quality traits of Tajik Angora goats?
(2016)
Productores de angora en Tajikistán del Norte levantan alrededor de 200,000 cabras De angora y productos alrededor de 300 toneladas de mohair. ¿Hay aproximadamente 500 productores pequeños, medios y más grandes con 100-500 ...
Genotypic and environmental effects on the concentration of bulb phytochemicals associated with garlic flavor, health-enhancing properties, and postharvest conservation
(Wiley, 2022-05)
To estimate genetic and environmental effects on traits associated with garlic functional value and postharvest quality, the content of total organosulfur compounds, phenolics, and solids were determined in selected garlic ...
Evaluation of mohair quality in Angora goats from the Northern dry lands of Tajikistan
(2013-06)
Mohair quality of Angora goats in the Sogd Province of Tajikistan was assessed in spring and autumn 2007 and 2008 by inspecting and sampling a total of 797 goats of both sexes, different ages and several coat colors from ...
