The present investigation entitled "Morphological Characterization and Assessment of Genetic Diversity in Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)" involving forty four genotypes was undertaken to study the genetic variability, heritability (bs), genetic advance, genetic advance as percent of mean, correlation coefficient, path coefficient and genetic divergence analysis. Forty four genotypes were tested in randomized block design with three replications. The traits under study were days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, number of productive tillers per plant, spike length, total number of spikelets per spike, number of grains per spike, biological yield per plant, grain yield per plant, harvest index, 1000 seed weight and protein content.

Dental implant surface technologies have been evolving rapidly to enhance a more rapid bone formation on their surface and hold a potential to increase the predictability of expedited implant therapy. While implant outcomes have become highly predictable, there are sites and conditions that result in elevated implant loss. This review presents the impact of macro-retentive features which includes approaches to surface oxide modification, thread design, press-fit and sintered-bead technologies to increase predictability of outcomes and the biocompatibility of various materials used for surface modification.
