INFERTILITY IN INBRED EWES [PDF]
Summary. The reasons for low fertility in a flock of inbred sheep were investigated. Of a total of forty-one inbred ewes run with tested rams at normal mating time, sixteen (39%) were unlikely to have carried a lamb to term. Causes included non-ovulation (six ewes), non-cleavage or abnormal cleavage of ova (four ewes) and non ...

Identification of tomato inbred lines for heat tolerance through agronomic and physiological approaches [PDF]
Eighteen tomato inbred lines were evaluated for tolerance against heat under field condition. Eight inbred lines were found promising in respect to flower and fruit setting. Ten inbred lines did not set fruit due to showing sensitivity to heat.
