A dynamic programme of participatory conservation and breeding coupled with agronomic improvement soon led to a big spurt in the production of Kalajeera, an aromatic local variety, which is being snapped up by the market almost as soon as it is harvested.
Behavioral ecologist Ian Hartley of the University of Lancaster, U.K., and colleagues set up 12 zebra finch nests with breeding couples.
Through the backcrossing and gene pyramiding breeding coupled with molecular marker-assisted selection, a new P/TGMS line Hua1228S carrying Pi2, Xa7, and tms5 was developed.
Food Biosciences is a multidisciplinary field which reflects long-standing research in plant and animal genetics and breeding coupled to more recent transgenic approaches including biotechnology directed at plant resistance to pests, herbicides, stress, disease, production of healthy oils, reduction of spoilage, and designed ripening.
The reproductive ability of PDGF-AL line 8 mice was compared to C57/Bl6 breeding couples.
Line 8 (16 litters) showed no difference in mean litter size compared to wt breeding couples, 6.4 versus 7.6 pups per litter (p>0.05).
Several elite soybean cultivars were obtained by using conventional breeding coupled with radiation-induced mutagenesis.
Despite the extensive reproductive versatility and specializations in breeding systems coupled with the striking floral shapes, the reproductive biology of the Cactaceae has been investigated in approximately 10% of its species.
Turkeys live longer and in-breeding coupled with feeding programs to maximize growth rate has made them susceptible to various infections.
In between what the couple calls "breeding and feeding," they take weekend bird-watching trips (a hobby of Stephen's that he reveals after the marriage) and talk about their relationship via thinly veiled analogies about animal behavior ("Disgust is a prerequisite for love... I wouldn't put a bird in my mouth").
