Plant breeding

Scientific name: Acrocephalus Aequinoctialis This is an endangered species. Ecological role: Maintains prey/predator population. Helps maintain the spread of a species of weed by dispersing certain seeds as well as feasting on the plant. In danger due to threat from predatorial rat (rattus spp.) and cat species (Felis catus), hunting by children and adults on the island, loss of trees (trumpet tree) that provide food and habitat loss due to sudden and ill-planned immigration. Proposed…

Identification and characterization of differentially expressed gene(s) in pigeonpea genotypes in response to Helicoverpa armigera infestation Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.)millspaugh] is an important food legume predominantly cultivated in the tropical and subtropical regions of Asia and Africa almost exclusively as a rainfed crop. It is a diploid (2n = 22), often cross-pollinated crop with a genome size of 833.07 Mbp (Varshney et al., 2012). Globally, it is cultivated on an area of 4.92 M ha…

passed from one generation to the next. Careful cross breeding may lower the chances of passing on a particular condition if only one parent is a carrier.Keep in mind that many of today's purebred dogs were founded on crosses of different breeds, and they have been refined through selective breeding to produce the consistent characteristics they display today. Now it's time to consider some of the potentially negative aspects of cross breeding. Many cross breeders downplay the significance of…

This lab report is over the effects of acid rain on plant germination and growth. Testing was done to see the acid rain had an effect on the radish seed germination and growth of the radish plant. Radish plants, also known as raphanus sativus, a cultigen plants. This means that the radishes have become what they are now, due to selective breeding over the course of thousands of years. “Grown worldwide for its fleshy, edible taproot, radish is thought to have originated in the eastern…

Midwestern states that has a Mediterranean climates. Under the Vernal pools, bedrock or a hard clay soil could be found. That helps the water to be in place. Vernal Pools are also a home for many aquatic, and land animal species. There are approximately 33 plant and animal species present in vernal pools. 20 of them are considered endangered by the federally. Due to the dramatic changes in the climate, and weather the vernal pools face a lot of changes in its appearance. The water in the…

The fauna in the taiga region is identified diverse comprising of herbivorous and carnivorous mammals, migratory birds, insects and fish (Whitney, 2002). The majority of the animals have developed adaptations to the extreme weather conditions by breeding in the winter and raising the young in the summer (Bioexpedition, 2015). Additionally, the majority of the mammals and birds have developed additional insulation through fat, which remains instrumental in the provision of heat during the cold…

Early Intensive Stocking management practices pose a serious threat to biodiversity in the Flint Hills Tallgrass Prairie region. Annual spring burning coupled with intensive cattle stocking following the fire. This practice has been estimated to be roughly twice the stocking rate as the area can provide. In which ungulates are grazed for 90-120 days into late summer or early fall (Robbins, et al 239 ). The combination of fire and intense grazing has been demonstrated to have negative impacts on…

of fruits per plant ranged from 11 (OFI-14) to 68 (cv. ‘Bianca’) and statistically significant differences were found among populations (Table 4). The cvs. ‘Gialla’ and ‘Bianca’ were the populations with the highest production of fruit per plant, 5.2 and 5.1 kg, respectively, and outperformed the remaining populations. In the group of the sixteen OFI ecotypes the lowest values for fruit production per plant were found in the populations OFI-03 (0.9 kg plant-1) and OFI-14 (1.0 kg plant-1) and the…
