Sterility and bioactivity evaluation of two types of bone graft substitutes after removing the original packaging [PDF]
Background. Xenograft and allograft bone substitutes are widely used to replace the missing bone in defects. Since removing the packaging of these grafts can nullify their sterilization, this study aimed to evaluate the sterility and bioactivity changes ...

ps2, the gene responsible for functional sterility in tomato, due to non-dehiscent anthers, is the result of a mutation in a novel polygalacturonase gene [PDF]
The recessive mutation ps-2, which appeared spontaneously in tomato, confers functional male sterility due to non-dehiscent anthers. In this study, we isolated and characterized the PS-2 gene.

Comparisons of reproductive function and fatty acid fillet quality between triploid and diploid farm Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) [PDF]
Triploidy could prevent escaped farm salmon breeding in the wild, while also improving nutrient quality within farmed fillets. Despite these potential advantages, triploid Atlantic salmon have not been widely used in aquaculture, and their reproductive ...

Starmaya: The first arabica F1 coffee hybrid produced using genetic male sterility [PDF]
In the present paper, we evaluated the implementation of a seed production system based on the exploitation of male sterility on coffee. We studied specifically the combination between CIR-SM01 and Marsellesa® (a Sarchimor line), which provides a hybrid ...

Male and female sterility in Zambia
Background: Population measures of sterility are traditionally constructed for women, despite fertility and sterility being conditions of the couple. Estimates of male sterility provide insight into population-level sterility, and complement estimates ...

Adaptability of irrigated rice to temperature change in sahelian environments [PDF]
To assess genotype adaptability to variable environments, we evaluated five irrigated rice genotypes, three new varieties, WAS161, a NERICA, IR32307 and ITA344, and two controls: Sahel 108, the most popular short-duration variety in the region, and IR64.

60Co Irradiation Influences Germination and Phenotype of Three Pavonia Species
The genus Pavonia is one of the largest genera in the Malvaceae species; it is mainly distributed in South America. Three species of Pavonia were identified based on different flower colors and potential for landscape use in the southeastern United ...
