Estimating Combining Ability of 4x-2x Crosses in Cultivated Potatoes

Progenies derived from crosses between Solarium tuberosum and 2n pollen-Producing diploid hybrids, exhibit obvious hybrid vigor. The 2n pollen-producing clone can act as a bridge in crossing S. tuberosum and S. andigena with S. phureja. Populations from 4x-2x crosses show more unifomity and less segregation compared with that of 4x-4x crosses. The parent-offspring correlation for the traits, starch content and tuber number, is significant at 0.01 level. The regrssion equations are Y (mp-F1)=1.0 1.2x and Y (mp - F1) = 5.3 0.8x, respectively. The 2n pollen-producing clones play an impotant role in increasing tuber stach content. Estimates of the combining ability for the main yield components indicate that additive effect prodominatcs for such trais as plot yield, tuber weight per plant and starch content, whereas both additive and non-additive effects lay equal stress on mean tuber weight and non-additive effect is important for tuber number. In general, non-additive effect appears to be important in     

Assessment of Negative Training on the Use of Cubicle Beds by Heifers

40 in-calf heifers were observed to examine the effect of timbers placing in passage area on their use of cubicle beds. Prior to the experiment preliminary observation was taken on these 40 heifers and they were divided into two even groups (cubicle user(or control) group versus cubicle refusal (or experimental) group by whether they properly used the cubicle beds or not. The timbers were placed in passage and feeding areas for the cubicle refusal group to force the animls to lie in the cubicle beds. The results of this experiment showed that feeding behaviour was unaffected by the presence of the timbers, but lying acitvity was about 8% higher for the experimental group, which led to a mean of almost 2 hours longer lying time over 24 h. After the timbers were removed, there was a significant decline in lying by the experimental group. The diurnal pattern of lying behaviour in cubicles indicated that the major effect on lying activity exerted by the presence of the timbers was seen during midnight to 10:00 a

柑桔园微喷灌之益处

美国佛罗里达州柑桔园使用微喷灌的历史并不悠久。70年代初,一些栽培者和研究人员开始了微喷灌的试验,直到70代末至80年代初,因生产技术的改进,才有了微喷灌优点的详尽记载。《灌溉》杂志(Trulio,1969～1989)报道,佛州微喷灌作物的面积1974年仅为2400英亩,1980年扩大到15400英亩,     

选择玉米制种基地时应注意的几个问题

1.选择隔离安全的地方 生产玉米杂交种要求制种基地周围700米以内不能种植其它玉米.隔离安全,这是选择基地的首要条件.在实践中还应注意,不能为凑够基地面积数,而把那些接近隔离安全的地方也确定为基地.

鸵鸟大肠杆菌病的诊治

禽大肠杆菌病(Colibacillosis)是由埃希氏大肠杆菌(E．coli)的某些致病菌所引起的多种禽病的总称。其中比较危害严重的有大肠杆菌性败血症、肠炎、脐带炎、全眼球炎、气囊炎，大肠杆菌性肉芽肿和关节炎等病型。其特征为败血症和剧烈腹泻，导致严重脱水。本病可引起幼禽大量死亡或发育不良。
