Procedures for the transfer of genes for drought resistance from Festuca glaucescens (2n=4x=28) into Lolium multiflorum (2n=2x=14) are described. Following the initial hybridisation of a synthetic autotetraploid of L. ...

Resistance was found in the meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis) to crown rust (Puccinia coronata), originating from ryegrasses (Lolium spp). A backcrossing programme successfully transferred this resistance into diploid ...

Interspecific hybrids have been developed between white clover and the annual, profuse flowering diploid species Trifolium nigrescens Viv.(ball clover) as a strategy to improve the seed yield of white clover. Third generation ...

Martian glacier-like forms (GLFs) indicate that water ice has undergone deformation on the planet within its recent geological past, but the driving mechanisms behind the origin, evolution and dynamics of these landforms ...

The presence and distribution of invertase is reported in two red fruited and hexose accumulating species of tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum and L. pimpinellifolium , which differ markedly in fruit invertase activity. • ...

The invertebrate populations of stony desert sites contaminated by ancient metalliferous activities in the Nabatean, Roman and Byzantine periods were significantly different from those found in adjacent ancient abandoned ...

Organised sport provides favourable conditions for positive psychosocial development. However, few studies have examined how sport facilitates positive development. The purpose of this study was to explore how perceived ...
