Multi-locus genotyping reveals absence of genetic structure in field populations of the brown ear tick (Rhipicephalus appendiculatus) in Kenya
Rhipicephalus appendiculatus is an important tick vector of several pathogens and parasitizes domestic and wild animals across eastern and southern Africa. However, its inherent genetic variation and population structure ...
Assessing the Potential for Zone-Specific Management of Cereals in Low-Rainfall South-Eastern Australia: Combining On-Farm Results and Simulation Analysis
In the low-rainfall region of south-eastern Australia, distinctive soil types reflecting
the typical landscape of higher elevated dunes and swale zones at the bottom
can be found within one field. Different soil characteristics ...
Characterization of production system and breeding practices of sheep producers in Doyogena district, Southern Ethiopia
An exploratory survey was undertaken in Doyogena district of Southern Nation Nationalities Peoples region of Ethiopia to understand the sheep production system, the breeding practices, selection criteria and sheep production ...
Monitoring biosafety of pharmaceutical drugs, insecticides, and other bioactive molecules to mitochondria
Mitochondria are large cell organelles in plant and animal cells. They convert chemical energy from food in the cell to usable energy
using oxygen. This process is called oxidative phosphorylation, which takes place inside ...

Correlation between the Chemical and Genetic Relationships among Thymus saturejoides Genotypes Cultured under in vitro and in vivo Environments
In this study, the in vitro and in vivo essential oil (EO) composition and genetic variability in six micropropagated genotypes of Thymus saturejoides COSS., a Mediterranean medicinal and aromatic plant, were analyzed by ...
Measurement of the aboveground biomass of some rangeland species using a digital nondestructive technique
Plant biomass is usually assumed to be positively correlated with canopy cover. Measurements of
canopy cover can now be easily and precisely made through image processing of high-resolution
digital photography. This study ...
Genome-Wide Association Study of Spot Form of Net Blotch Resistance in the Upper Midwest Barley Breeding Programs
Pyrenophora teres f. maculata, the causal agent of spot form of net blotch (SFNB), is an emerging pathogen of barley in USA and Australia. Compared to net form of net blotch (NFNB), less is known in the United States upper ...
Water saving in arid regions: a comparison of surface and subsurface drip irrigation systems for irrigation of date palms
Surface and subsurface drip irrigation methods can play a significant role in overcoming the scarcity of water mostly in water shortage areas. A field study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of surface ...
Soil indicators to assess the effectiveness of restoration strategies in dryland ecosystems
Soil indicators may be used for assessing both land
suitability for restoration and the effectiveness of restoration
strategies in restoring ecosystem functioning and services. In
this review paper, several soil indicators, ...
