Comprehensive Gene Expression Analysis Of The Nac Gene Family Under Normal Growth Conditions, Hormone Treatment, And Drought Stress Conditions In Rice Using Near-Isogenic Lines (Nils) Generated From Crossing Aday Selection (Drought Tolerant) And Ir64
The NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2 and CUC2) genes are plant-specific transcriptional factors known to play diverse roles in various plant developmental processes. We describe the rice (Oryza sativa) OsNAC genes expression profiles (GEPs) under normal and...
Genetic analysis and phenotypic associations for drought tolerance in Hordeum spontaneum introgression lines using SSR and SNP markers
Associations between markers and drought related traits were investigated on a set of 57 advanced barley breeding lines, carrying various levels of introgression from Hordeum spontaneum lines 41-1 and 41-5, the best sources of drought tolerance...
Spatial and Temporal Analyses of Water Quality in the Dhrabi Watershed of Pakistan: Issues and Options
Monitoring water quality is important for maintaining a healthy watershed, but it is mostly ignored in watershed planning and management. In the Dhrabi watershed of Pakistan, the quality of surface water was monitored at 16 locations to assess...
Review of Available Knowledge on Land Degradation in Pakistan
This publication reviews the historical and current literature on land degradation in Pakistan. It is intended as a useful guide for Government officials, donor agencies, NGO’s, farmers, rural groups and others in determining a route forward to...
Many countries are keen to move away from traditional surface irrigation systems to more modern and efficient systems such as drip and sprinkler irrigation. Surface irrigation systems are less efficient in terms of water application because more...
Serial Translocation By Means Of Circular Intermediates Underlies Colour Sidedness In Cattle
Colour sidedness is a dominantly inherited phenotype of cattle characterized by the polarization of pigmented sectors on the flanks, snout and ear tips(1). It is also referred to as 'lineback' or 'witrik' (which means white back), as colour...
Discordances between morphological systematics and molecular taxonomy in the stem line of equids: A review of the case of taxonomy of genus Equus
This paper revises the evolutionary history of the stem root of the genus Equus from Eocene period (54 million years before present, MYBP) to present. It also assesses molecular taxonomy and evolutionary relationships of this line since the...
The current status of the agricultural soils in Khorezm is closely linked to their development influenced by past river flows and more recent human-managed irrigation and drainage practices. The initial relief of the Amudarya river delta was...
