Genetic structure analysis and identifying key founder inbred lines in diverse elite sub-tropical maize inbred lines [PDF]
Understanding the genetic relationships between the key founder inbred lines and derived inbred lines could provide insight into the breeding history and the structure of genetic diversity of the available elite inbred lines with desirable target traits.

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 ...

Variation in seed dormancy quantitative trait loci in Arabidopsis thaliana originating from one site [PDF]
A Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) analysis was performed using two novel Recombinant Inbred Line (RIL) populations, derived from the progeny between two Arabidopsis thaliana genotypes collected at the same site in Kyoto (Japan) crossed with the reference ...

Heterosis analysis for grain yield traits in Maize (Zea mays L.)
In the present study 6 inbreds were used as parents to make crosses in all possible cross combination in full diallel fashion to obtain total 30 possible F1 hybrids. These 30 F1’s were subjected to heterosis analysis for midparental, heterobeltiosis and

FINGER PRINTING FOR SOME MAIZE INBRED LINES THROUGH RAPD-PCR TECHNIQUE [PDF]
In this investigation 11 inbred lines of maize were used. These inbred lines were crossed among them to obtain 30 F1 hybrids according to factorial mating design. DNA finger printing was made by using RAPD-PCR for all 11 maize inbred lines.

Evaluation of Maize Germplasm for Resistance to Aflatoxin Accumulation
Aflatoxin contamination of maize grain threatens human food and animal feed safety. Breeding for reduced grain aflatoxin accumulation is one of the best strategies presently available to lower grain aflatoxin accumulation.

Target cell-dependent T cell-mediated lysis of vaccinia virus-infected cells [PDF]
Vaccinia virus specific cytotoxicity against infected target cells was observed in vitro. Spleen lymphocytes from normal and immunized mice of the inbred strains C3H and DBA/2 were incubated with vaccinia virus-infected and non-infected 51Cr-labeled ...
