Do Bryophyte Elemental Concentrations Explain Their Morphological Traits? [PDF]

Plants, 2021
Differences in the elemental composition of plants, mainly C, N, and P, have been shown to be related to differences in their nutritional status, and their morphological and functional traits.

Exploiting the morphological and phenological diversity in barley landraces of Iran [PDF]

Desert, 2021
Barley is one the most widely cultivated crop in marginal environments which is often exposed to abiotic stresses. It seems that genetic diversity in adaptive characters is the key factor for adaptation to diverse environments. In this research diversity

Variability in Solanum species: Morphological characterization

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2022
Twenty seven accessions of Solanum belonging to six different species were morphologically characterized using IPGRI descriptor. The wild types could be easily distinguished from the cultivated types based on fruit size and shape. S.

Seed bio-priming with beneficial Trichoderma harzianum alleviates cold stress in maize [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Maize is one of the major crops in the world and the most productive member of the Gramineae family. Since cold stress affects the germination, growth, and productivity of corn seeds, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of seed biopriming ...

Heritability and genetic correlations of personality, life history and morphology in the grey mouse lemur (Microcebus murinus) [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2019
The recent interest in animal personality has sparked a number of studies on the heritability of personality traits. Yet, how the sources variance these traits can be decomposed remains unclear.

Genetic parameters for growth and morphological traits of the Pacific white shrimp Penaeus vannamei from a selective breeding programme in the industrial sector of Ecuador

Aquaculture Reports, 2023
This study aimed to estimate the genetic parameters of growth-related traits (weight and length), morphological traits (cephalothorax, abdomen, length, height, segment width and volume), and the correlated response of weight traits via the selection for ...

Postcopulatory sexual selection [PDF]

, 2002
The female reproductive tract is where competition between the sperm of different males takes place, aided and abetted by the female herself. Intense postcopulatory sexual selection fosters inter-sexual conflict and drives rapid evolutionary change to ...

Can sexual selection drive female life histories? A comparative study on Galliform birds [PDF]

, 2007
Sexual selection is an important driver of many of the most spectacular morphological traits that we find in the animal kingdom (for example see Andersson, 1994). As such, sexual selection is most often emphasized as
