The soil-nitrogen condition,which differs greatly between paddy fields(mainly in the form of ammonium,NH_(4)^(+))and dry fields(mainly in the form of nitrate,NO_(3)^(-)),is a main environmental factor that drives the ...
In order to better understand the cultural route, biochemical and nutritional composition of two ecotypes of fonio, a study was carried out in village of Tambananing located approximately 7 km from Sédhiou. The objec...
Plants must adapt with increasing speed to global warming to maintain their fitness.One rapid adaptation mechanism is epigenetic memory,which may provide organisms sufficient time to adapt to climate change.We studied...
This study was conducted from June 2021 to January 2023 to assess the genetic diversity of giant African snails in the western highlands of Cameroon. A total of 652 snails were randomly collected from the wild in thre...
Clonal organisms are particularly useful to investigate the contribution of epigenetics to phenotypic plasticity,because confounding effects of genetic variation are negligible.In the last decade,the apomictic parthen...

Background:Switchgrass sward establishment results in up to 90%seedling mortality.The degree of selection during sward establishment has not been reported using modern genetic methods.Methods:Pooled leaf samples were ...
Genetic diversity of two chicken ecotypes from Ismailia-Egypt (ISM) and Taif-Saudi Arabia (TA) was evaluated using 39 microsatellites. DNA was extracted from blood of 25 chickens/ecotype. The number of alleles was 157...

Studies of range-wide populations can contribute to the comprehension of the relative roles of historical events and contemporary factors that influence genetic variation within and among populations.Japanese grenadie...
We investigated whether plant ecotype might affect aphid performance and behavioi. The probing behaviors of the polyphagous aphid Myzus persicae and the oligophagous aphid Brevicoryne brassicae on two ecotypes of Arab...
