Each group comprised plants originating from seeds collected from a single plant, and since lucerne is allogamous, the obtained results provided a basis for an evaluation within the maternal line. The aim of this study was to analyze the seed yield and the expression of phenotypic traits affecting the seed yield structure. Principle component analysis (PCA) was performed. The Euclidean distance and K-means grouping were used as a taxonomic measure of similarity between groups. Two agglomerated phenotypic groups were discriminated within the examined population, and the differentiating traits in a multivariate analysis were: number of racemes per shoot, number of seeds per shoot and seed yield per shoot. Statistical characteristics of the distinguished groups provided a basis for determining the ideotype with a high seed yield.

The experimental materials comprised 368 Holstein-Friesian cows purchased from Germany as in-calf heifers. The objective of this study was to determine the health status of cows in a commercial herd kept in the Olsztyn region, based on the type and incidence of diseases that occurred during three consecutive lactations, and to analyze the effect of these diseases on milk yield and composition in the first, second and third lactation cycle. The cows were divided into five groups: HEA – clinically healthy cows (showing no disease symptoms), MAS – cows with mastitis, LAM – cows with foot/leg defects and lameness, REP – cows with reproductive problems (retention of the placenta, endometritis, ovarian cysts), MET – cows with metabolic diseases (ketosis, abomasal displacement). It was found that the most common diseases during three consecutive lactations in the investigated herd were endometritis (37.63%) which occurred soon after calving (on day 18 post-partum), mastitis (35.48%), formation of ovarian cysts (10.10%), ketosis (8.39%) and leg/foot defects (6.44%). Retention of the placenta and abomasal displacement were diagnosed much less frequently (1.62% and 0.34% respectively). The percentage of healthy cows decreased in successive lactations (19.81% in the first lactation, 12.28% in the second lactation, 6.22% in the third lactation). During each lactation, more than one third of cows suffered from mastitis. The proportion of cows showing the symptoms of ketosis increased with age, from 5.12% in the first lactation to 12.23% in the third lactation. The highest yields of milk and milk components over a 305-day lactation cycle were noted in cows with reproductive diseases (ROZ). Foot/led defects and lameness (LAM), mastitis (MAS) and metabolic diseases (MET) had the most significant effect on a decrease in milk production.","PeriodicalId":39364,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Natural Sciences","volume":"24 1","pages":"102-112"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68931042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of these experiments, eight locations characterized by diverse soil conditions were selected. The analysis regarded a three-year period of cultivation, spanning 2004–2006, of eleven winter wheat cultivars. The experiments were conducted in the standard variant (a 1 ) and the intensive (a 2 ), the latter differing in nitrogen fertilization higher by 40 kg ha–1, full chemical protection against fungal diseases, use of a growth regulator and foliar feeding of the plants with multi-nutrient preparation. The analysis performed has revealed significant interaction of the cultivars with the environment, which points out to varied reaction of the wheat genotypes to atmospheric and edaphic conditions in particular years of the study. The high values of the genotype-environment interaction obtained for the locations of Kobierzyce, Tarnow, Pawlowice and Krościna indicate that in the area of Lower Silesia these experimental sites are distinguishable by increased danger that the plants may be highly infected by populations of fungi representing the genus Septoria. The fact that the number of cultivars analyzed in Post-registration Variety Testing trials each year is different, the evaluations of the interaction between the genotypes and the environments may not be absolutely reliable. Therefore, the number of experimental sites of variable edaphic-climatic conditions which is taken under analysis should be large enough. The significant differences in the level of infection of particular genotypes obtained for some locations indicate the necessity to evaluate of new cultivars in numerous environments considering the genotype-environment interaction and the danger of occurrence of new races of fungi characterized by increased aggressiveness.","PeriodicalId":39364,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Natural Sciences","volume":"24 1","pages":"23-34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68931365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
