(AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University System; Texas A&M University. Libraries, )The table below contains adjustment factors to compare EPDs of individuals of different breeds, based on studies by the U. S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC), Clay Center, Nebraska. Adjustment factors have been calculated ...
-
(AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University System; Texas A&M University. Libraries, )The table below contains averages from breed association websites. In most cases they are of recently born individuals, the best estimate of where a breed stands in 2020. These numbers can be used to determine how individual ...

(AgriLife Extension, Texas A&M University System; Texas A&M University. Libraries, )The tables below contain comparisons among breeds based on reports by the U. S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC), Clay Center, Nebraska. These estimates apply under conditions similar to those at the Center. Calves at ...
-
The gut microbiome and its effects on its host’s health has become an important factor when trying to understand that etiology of disease and therefore its diagnosis and treatment. In previous studies, the bacterial species ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)Oryza sativa (Rice) was anther cultured to produce callus and subsequently plants. It was shown that these plants were pollen derived and at least a portion of them were haploid. By using a cold-shock of 13°C, about 74% ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)In some Central American countries, sorghum totally or partially replaces maize in the tortilla making process. Maize is preferred over sorghum despite sorghum yield advantage. The major constraint to increasing sorghum ...
-
(2021-04-26)Cryptobenthic fishes (CFs) occupy a critical functional group in the trophodynamics of their respective ecological system. The percomorph suborder Blennioidei encompasses ~900 species in size families of mostly tropical ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)A study was initiated in the spring of 1973 to evaluate the effectiveness of a cyclic gametic selection prodedure in Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench in extracting superior gametes from a random-mating population and the ...

TnSeq is a genetic method used to evaluate the essentiality of genes in bacteria, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It uses random insertions by the Himar1 transposon and high throughput sequencing to determine the most ...
-
(2023-02-15)Genomic prediction has shown to be an effective tool for plant and animal breeders, allowing for prediction of phenotypes and breeding values. For crops that have vast acres planted in the United States, such as maize, ...
-
(2009-05-15)Although the completion of the Human Genome Project helps develop efficient treatment/prevention programs, it will raise new and non-trivial public health issues. Many of these issues fall under the professional purview ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)A laboratory technique utilizing a thermogradient plate was used to determine the effect of temperature extremes on germination of different Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench genotypes and the inheritance of base temperature. ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)This biosystematic study of Cucurbita pepo and closely-related taxa was conducted based on electrophoretic, morphological, and flowering data. Data were collected from over 150 commercial cultivars and Mexican accessions ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Evidence is presented here for stress-induced changes in gene expression and the specificity of plant metabolic responses to applied stress. Analysis of changes in the rate and pattern of protein synthesis in slash pine ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)Three coverted lines (SC0056, SC00599, and SC0170) from the sorghum conbersion program remained green and vigorous in the field at grain harvest time when "normal" sorghum types senesced and apparently ceased functioning ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)A mutation in a coat color gene in mice provides an opportunity to study the genetics and physiology of pigmentation, which is a powerful tool for understanding many biological processes, especially development. In 1989, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)Genes and gene products encoded by the central part of the F transfer region (between traC and traF) were investigated. The nucleotide sequence of the entire region was determined and all gene products were identified and ...
