Abstract:
... The almond crop has high economic importance on a global scale, but its sensitivity to salinity stress can cause severe yield losses. Salt-tolerant rootstocks are vital for crop economic feasibility under saline conditions. Two commercial rootstocks submitted to salinity, and evaluated through different parameters, had contrasting results with the survival rates of 90.6% for 'Rootpac 40' (tolerant ...

Abstract:
... In this study, 12 maize hybrids were planted and evaluated to determine the effect of genotype and genotype-environment interaction (GEI) base GGE (genotype plus genotype-by-environment) using a Graphical biplot technique in four research stations (Arak, Birjand, Shiraz and Karaj) within two years using a Randomized Complete Blocks Design (RCBD). The combined analysis of variance showed that the e ...

Abstract:
... The activities of antioxidant factors superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) were measured in the livers of Takifugu rubripes cultured at 16 °C, 20 °C, 24 °C, 28 °C, and 32 °C. Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) and genotype main effects and genotype × environment interaction (GGE) Biplot analyses were used to analyze the effects of ge ...
... Strongyloides’ developmental switch between direct, parasitic and indirect, free-living development has intrigued, confused, and fascinated biologists since it was first discovered more than 100 years ago. Proximately, the switch is controlled by environmental conditions that developing larvae are exposed to, but genotypes differ in their sensitivity to these cues. Ultimately, selection will act o ...

... The purpose of this study was to compare the frequency of COL1A1 rs1107946 polymorphism between sport climbers and controls from three ethnic groups (Japanese, Polish, and Russian) and investigate the effect of the COL1A1 rs1107946 polymorphism on the age-related decrease in flexibility in the general population. Study I consisted of 1929 healthy people (controls) and 218 climbers, including Japan ...
genotype, etc ; Norovirus; gastroenteritis; nucleotides; patients; virology; Show all 6 Subjects
Abstract:
... Norovirus is recognized as one of the leading causes of acute gastroenteritis outbreaks. Genotype GII.9 was first detected in Norfolk, VA, USA, in 1997. However, the complete genome sequence of this genotype has not yet been determined. In this study, a complete genome sequence of GII.9[P7] norovirus, SCD1878_GII.9[P7], from a patient was determined using high-throughput sequencing and rapid ampli ...

Abstract:
... High-throughput (HTP) plant phenotyping approaches are developing rapidly and are already helping to bridge the genotype–phenotype gap. However, technologies should be developed beyond current physico-spectral evaluations to extend our analytical capacities to the subcellular level. Metabolites define and determine many key physiological and agronomic features in plants and an ability to integrate ...
... Variations in lipid levels are the result of combinations of genetic and environmental factors. We aim to investigate the indirect effect between siblings of the three polymorphisms of ADIPOQ on serum lipid levels in rural Chinese populations. A total of 2571 sibling pairs were enrolled as study participants. A generalized estimating equation was used to accommodate a family-based design. We used ...
... Color is an important trait of pearls which significantly affects their economic value. Golden seawater pearls with excellent luster are becoming popular among consumers, but golden freshwater pearls are rare. Hyriopsis cumingii is the most important freshwater mussel for pearl production in China and a selective breeding program has recently been developed to improve the yellowness and luster of ...
... Cotton is the fifth-largest oil crop in the world. A high kernel oil content (KOC) and high stability are important cottonseed attributes for food security. In this study, the phenotype of KOC and the genotype-by-environment interaction factors were collectively dissected using 250 recombinant inbred lines, their parental cultivars sGK156 and 901-001, and CCRI70 across multi-environments. ANOVA an ...
... Identification and selection of cowpea genotypes possessing suitable agronomic attributes is key for cultivar development to increase production. The objective of this study was to evaluate cowpea genotypes using agronomic traits to aid selection and identification of best genotypes for adoption and breeding to develop high-yielding cultivars. Agronomic traits of 20 cowpea genotypes were evaluated ...

Abstract:
... In traditional theories, bet‐hedging in evolutionary biology is defined as a trade‐off between the within‐generation arithmetic mean fitness (AMF) of a genotype and between‐generation variance (BGV) in AMF across generations. The rationale of this definition is that a bet‐hedger genotype suppresses the BGV to increase between‐generation geometric mean fitness (GMF; an index of long‐term sustainabi ...

Abstract:
... Young children can suffer severe consequences of norovirus gastroenteritis. We performed a dose-finding study of a bivalent virus-like particle (VLP) vaccine candidate (TAK-214) in healthy 1–8-year-old children. In this phase 2 study two age cohorts (1–3 and 4–8 years of age inclusive, N = 120 per cohort) of children enrolled from Finland, Panama and Colombia were initially randomized 1:1:1:1 to f ...

Abstract:
... Genotype × environment (GE) interaction can difficult soybean breeding programs to achieve the aim of more productive cultivars. Environment stratification is a way to circumvent this problem. However, multiyear data studies are difficult to work with, because they are, usually, unbalanced. GGE Biplot is an efficient method to find mega-environments, however, it allows for, at most, 30% of the unb ...

Abstract:
... Multiplex assays of variant effect (MAVEs) are a family of methods that includes deep mutational scanning experiments on proteins and massively parallel reporter assays on gene regulatory sequences. Despite their increasing popularity, a general strategy for inferring quantitative models of genotype-phenotype maps from MAVE data is lacking. Here we introduce MAVE-NN, a neural-network-based Python ...

Abstract:
... Intraspecific diversity is a substantial part of biodiversity, yet little is known about its maintenance. Understanding mechanisms of intraspecific diversity shifts provides realistic detail about how phytoplankton communities evolve to new environmental conditions, a process especially important in times of climate change. Here, we aimed to identify factors that maintain genotype diversity and li ...

Abstract:
... Brachionus calyciflorus is a species complex consisting of four recently described species. Although several lines of evidence support their species status, hybridization between two of the sibling species B. calyciflorus s.s. and B. elevatus has been inferred from both field and laboratory studies. In this study, we tested for the existence of prezygotic barriers between these species by performi ...

Abstract:
... Current organic pig-breeding programs use pigs from conventional breeding populations. However, there are considerable differences between conventional and organic production systems. This simulation study aims to evaluate how the organic pig sector could benefit from having an independent breeding program. Two organic pig-breeding programs were simulated: one used sires from a conventional breedi ...
