It is imperative to enhance potential of existing livestock for milk and meat production to meet the demands of increasing population. The major constraint in achieving the goal is the unavailability of forage in terms of quantity and quality. Per unit area forage production should be increased. Therefore, evolution of best quality, high yielding, multicut fodder varieties/hybrids is of vital importance. It is desired to converge the favourable characters in interspecific hybrids and also to collect preliminary information for the development of better hybrids. Prospects are good for the...

Cytogenetics is a branch of genetics that is concerned with the study of the structure and function of the cell, especially the chromosomes. It includes routine analysis of G-Banded chromosomes, other cytogenetic banding techniques, as well as molecular cytogenetics such as fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH). The world has witnessed extraordinary advances in science over the last few decades. Biotechnology one such area of growth is a term covering a broad range of scientific activities used in many sectors, such as food, health and...

Maize plant is a c4 plant having high input requirements including irrigation water. In Pakistan 25-30% of the total cropped area is rainfed where the available water resources are depleting very quickly. Water stress or drought is one of the major limiting fator in crop production around the globe. Water stress affects plant growth both at early stage and at grain filling stage resulting in decreased yield. Fifty inbred lines were used to study genetic variability, correlation and path co-efficient analysis among various seedling and maturity traits. Under drought conditions, 100-grain...

A field research was conducted under field situation at the Research Area, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, to study the combining ability effects for yield and its components in sunflower. Fifteen accessions of sunflower were crossed in line × tester fashion. Crosses along with their parents were grown in the field. For this purpose 10 lines (G-16, G-68, G-146, G-55, G-82, G-40, G-9, HBR-5, A-18 and G-57) and 5 testers (G-3, G-32, G-61, G-50, and G-54) were crossed according to line × tester fashion. Among the lines G-82, G-40, G-9 and HBR-5 showed positive and significant GCA...
