Identification of Heterotic Loci with Desirable Allelic Interaction to Increase Yield in Rice
Heterosis denotes the superiority of a hybrid plant over its parents. The use of heterosis has contributed significantly to yield improvement in crops. However, the genetic and molecular bases on heterosis are not fully understood.

A test of genetic models for the evolutionary maintenance of same-sex sexual behaviour [PDF]
This study was supported by Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) fellowships to NWB (NE/G014906/1, NE/L011255/1) and a NERC grant to NWB and MGR (NE/I016937/1).The evolutionary maintenance of same-sex sexual behaviour (SSB) has received increasing

ABSTRACT Seed production on native seed farms has increased to meet the rising demand for plant material for restoration. Although these propagation efforts are necessary for restoration, cultivating wild populations may also result in unintentional selection and elicit evolutionary changes that mimic crop domestication, essentially turning these ...

Background The link between host MHC (major histocompatibility complex) genotype and malaria is largely based on correlative data with little or no experimental control of potential confounding factors.

Understanding the genetic bases underlying heterosis is a major issue in maize (Zea mays L.). We extended the North Carolina design III (NCIII) by using three populations of recombinant inbred lines derived from three parental lines belonging to ...

ABSTRACT The Iberian lynx was at the brink of extinction by the year 2000 but has since then, and thanks to intensive conservation measures, gone through a remarkable recovery, providing a much‐welcomed and encouraging conservation success story.

INHERITANCE OF CRUDE FAT AND RAW CELLULOSE IN GRAIN SORGHUM HYBRIDS F1
Grain sorghum is basically a forage crop, so a content of nutrients should be controlled during hybridization. Fat is a reserved substance which is considered to be a concentrated energetic and constructional force of a seed.

Bayesian inference of natural selection from allele frequency time series
The advent of accessible ancient DNA technology now allows the direct ascertainment of allele frequencies in ancestral populations, thereby enabling the use of allele frequency time series to detect and estimate natural selection.

ABSTRACT Major threats to marine species and ecosystems include overfishing, invasive species, pollution and climate change. The changing climate not only imposes direct threats through the impacts of severe marine heatwaves, cyclones and ocean acidification but also complicates fisheries and invasive species management by driving species range shifts.

INHERITANCE OF BASIC QUANTITATIVE TRAITS BY THE HYBRIDS OF GRAIN SORGHUM OF THE FIRST GENERATION
In the work with all crops including sorghum, it’s necessary to know the character of the inheritance of basic economic traits so that to decrease the time for breeding of new varieties and hybrids.
