Studies were conducted to investigate the metabolism of
selenium (Se) , and the influences of Se on the metabolism of cadmium (Cd) and inorganic mercury (Hg) in rats, and in ram semen in
vitro. Se-deficient (-Se) or Se-adequate (+Se) rats were injected intraperitoneally with either ¹⁰⁹CdCl₂ (5 μCi/rat) or ²⁰³HgN0₃...

parent diallel of winter and spring wheat cultivars.
More genetic variability was observed for the traits measured in
segregating populations resulting from crosses between winter and spring
type wheats in contrast...
With current nonlinear analysis computer capabilities, this
study was conducted to develop a linkage element that permits
