VALIDATION OF THE EVALUATION OF LONGEVITY BY WEIGHTED ANALYSIS

Validation of the evaluation of longevity by weighted analysis

We applied the Interbull validation methodology, a widely accepted method in animal breeding, to assess novel weighted and nonweighted repeatability models for the prediction of breeding values for longevity in Czech Holstein cattle.The population included in Other Panels the estimation also contained 58 704 animals with genotypes.Performance recor

Experimental Investigation on Effect of Wall Roughness and Lubricant Film on the Adhered Fuel Film of N-Butanol-Diesel Blends after Spray Impingement

The effect of wall roughness with different lubricant film thicknesses on the characteristics of adhered fuel films of diesel-n-butanol blending fuels after spray impingement has been Side View Camera investigated.Four steel plates with different types of roughness (root mean square height-Sq) that were coated with different lubricant film thicknes

Wounding stimulates ALLENE OXIDE SYNTHASE gene and increases the level of jasmonic acid in Ipomoea nil cotyledons

Allene oxide synthase (AOS) encodes the first enzyme in the lipoxygenase pathway, which is responsible for jasmonic acid (JA) formation.In this study we report the molecular cloning and characterization of InAOS from Ipomoea nil.The full-length gene is composed of 1662 bp and encodes HAIR COLOR for 519 amino acids.The predicted InAOS contains PLN02
