Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEidonomy of Apis mellifera Workers and Drones in ApiariesAnuarbek Temirbekovich Bissembayev, Natalia Evgenievna Zemskova, Vener Nurullovich Sattarov et al.In modern ecosystems, the increasing anthropogenic load, the absence or an insufficient number of scientifically based integrated programs and measures for the reproduction and distribution of local bee populations, as well as the preservation of their habitat territories; unsystematic hybridization leads to the transformation of the quantitative and qualitative composition of bees in the regions. In connection with the presented … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 23, Issue 2 · 16 Mar 2023 · 5,110 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Genetic Material of the Grass Pea (Lathyrus Sativus L.) Seed Collection in Northern KazakhstanArysgul Turbekova, Irina Oshergina, Alzhan Kurmangozhinov et al.One of the main agriculture fields in the Republic of Kazakhstan is the diversification of crop production based on the preservation of soil fertility and minimal cultivation technologies. Ensuring sustainable grain production of legumes will significantly increase and strengthen the role of grain production in the country's economy, will allow significant amounts of land resources to be involved in agricultural … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 2 · 14 Apr 2022 · 6,162 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn Silico Prediction and Functional Characterization of Genes Related to Abiotic and Biotic Stresses in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum)Sukhdeep Kaur, Satendra Singh, Gitanjali Tandon et al.Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is second largest grown legumes worldwide contributing 75% of total pulse production. It is a cool season legume crop and grown in tropical and subtropical areas. Due to drastic climatic changes, chickpea suffers from many biotic (blight and wilt) and abiotic (salinity, drought, cold) stresses that directly impact the growth and yield. In our study, we … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 25 Sep 2017 · 14,188 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPolymorphisms in Several Porcine Genes are Associated with Growth TraitsGetmantseva Lyubov, Anatoly Kolosov, Maria Leonova et al.The purpose of this study was to confirm the relation between polymorphism of POU1F1, GH, PRLR and MC4R genes and economically important traits of the Duroc pigs bred in Russia. Studies were carried out on purebred Duroc breed pigs (male n = 360). All pigs were kept under identical and standard conditions. The traits of analysis: The number of Days … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 12 Nov 2016 · 7,415 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,399 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIllumina-Based De Novo Transcriptome Analysis and Identifications of Genes Involved in the Monolignol Biosynthesis Pathway in Acacia koaKazue Ishihara, Eric K.W. Lee, Isabel Rushanaedy, Dulal BorthakurAcacia koa is a leguminous timber tree endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. For breeding projects involved in improving wood quality of A. koa, understanding of genes influencing wood quality is crucial. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify A. koa genes in the monolignol biosynthesis pathway, which is involved in wood formation and development. In this study, whole … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 6 Aug 2015 · 11,037 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractField Evaluation of Sugarcane Orange Rust for First Clonal Stage of the CP Cultivar Development ProgramDuli Zhao, R. Wayne Davidson, Miguel Baltazar, Jack C. ComstockConsistent development of high-yielding sugarcane (a complex hybrid of Saccharum spp.) cultivars with resistance or tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses is critical to commercial sugarcane production. Currently, orange rust (caused by Puccinia kuehnii E.J. Butler) is a big challenge for the sugarcane production in Florida, USA. A better understanding of sugarcane genotypic variability in response to orange rust disease … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2015 · 7,900 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVariability and Genetic Structure in a Commercial Field of Tequila Plants, Agave tequilana Weber (Agavaceae)Martha Isabel Torres-Moran, Ana Paulina Velasco-Ramirez, Salvador Antonio Hurtado-de la Pena et al.Crops of the tequila plant (Agave tequilana) are produced mainly from offshoots of mother plants in established commercial fields. This propagation method is significant, as it is believed that it facilitates the spread of disease because of the crop’s low genetic variability and is also necessary because it is regulate the use of just that variety in tequila industry. Different … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 22 Feb 2013 · 8,093 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractContribution of Primary Spikes Vs Tillers to Total Deoxynivalenol in Harvested Grain of Wheat and BarleyPravin Gautam, Scott Halley, Jeffrey M. SteinFormation of higher number of tillers is desirable for higher grain yield in both wheat and barley; tillers have delayed physiological development. Studies addressing the contribution of secondary tillers in final DON concentration for wheat and barley are limited. This project aims to improve our understanding of the relationship between FHB symptoms and DON concentration by examining the contribution of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 25 Jul 2012 · 7,912 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGenetic Diversity of Some Saudi Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.) Landraces Based on Two Types of Molecular MarkersMohamed Abdel Hamid Mohamed El-Awady, Adel Ahmed El-Sayed El-Tarras, Salah El-Din El-AssalProblem statement: Very little is known about the genetic diversity and morphological variability present in barley landrace in KSA, a country experiencing loss of biodiversity because of replacement of landraces with modern landraces. Approach: The molecular markers RAPD and ISSR were used as an efficient tools to estimate the intra-and inter-cultivar polymorphism among six barley KSA landraces collected from different … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 12 Mar 2012 · 7,502 accessesView PDF Cite
