Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a fungal disease of worldwide importance to small grain cereals that may lead severe losses in both yield and quality. The development resistant varieties the most effective approach for managing disease. Genetic variation FHB resistance large, including 'exotic' 'native' wheat germplasm. Methods selecting improved lines include: 1) phenotypic selection with direct symptom evaluation; 2) marker-assisted well-characterized QTL 3) genomic employing genome-wide...

We evaluated genomic selection across five breeding cycles of bread wheat breeding. Bias within-cycle cross-validation and methods for improving the prediction accuracy were assessed. The prospect has been frequently shown by studies using same genetic material multiple environments, but investigating in applied are lacking. estimated grain yield, protein content yield 659 inbred lines independent assessed bias cross-validation. investigated influence outliers on predicted its components...

Large genetic improvement can be achieved by simultaneous genomic selection for grain yield and protein content when combining different breeding strategies in the form of indices. Genomic has been implemented many national international programmes recent years. Numerous studies have shown potential this new tool; few have, however, taken multiple traits into account that is though common practice programmes. The thereby a major challenge wheat due to severe negative trade-off. Accordingly,...

Online communities have become popular for publishing and searching content, as well finding connecting to other users. User-generated content includes, example, personal blogs, bookmarks, digital photos. These items can be annotated rated by different users, these social tags derived user-specific scores leveraged relevant discovering subjectively interesting items. Moreover, the relationships among users also taken into consideration ranking search results, intuition being that you trust...

Early generation genomic selection is superior to conventional phenotypic in line breeding and can be strongly improved by including additional information from preliminary yield trials. The of lines that enter resource-demanding multi-environment trials a crucial decision every program as large amount resources are allocated for thoroughly testing these potential varietal candidates. We compared with various approaches across multiple years well the merit integrating into framework....

Genomic selection shows great promise for pre-selecting lines with superior bread baking quality in early generations, 3 years ahead of labour-intensive, time-consuming, and costly analysis. The genetic improvement is one the grand challenges wheat breeding as assessment associated traits often involves testing forcing breeders to postpone sophisticated tests very last phases variety development. prospect genomic complex like grain yield has been shown numerous studies, might thus be also an...

Genomic selection had a higher response for FHB resistance than phenotypic selection, while association mapping identified major QTL on chromosome 3B unaffected by plant height and flowering date. Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the most destructive diseases durum wheat. Hence, minimizing losses in yield, quality avoiding contamination with mycotoxins are pivotal importance, as wheat mostly used human consumption. While growing resistant varieties promising approach controlling this...

Collection selection has been a research issue for years. Typically, in related work, precomputed statistics are employed order to estimate the expected result quality of each collection, and subsequently collections ranked accordingly. Our thesis is that this simple approach insufficient several applications which typically overlap. This case, example, built by autonomous peers crawling web. We argue extension existing measures using estimators mutual overlap among present experiments...

Online communities have recently become a popular tool for publishing and searching content, as well finding connecting to other users that share common interests. The content is typically user-generated includes, example, personal blogs, bookmarks, digital photos. A particularly intriguing type of annotations (tags) items, these concise string descriptions allow reasonings about the interests user who created but also generated annotations. This paper presents framework cast different...

In this paper we consider distributed K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) search and range query processing in high dimensional data. Our approach is based on Locality Sensitive Hashing (LSH) which has proven very efficient answering KNN queries centralized settings. We mappings from the multi-dimensional LSH bucket space to linearly ordered set of peers that jointly maintain indexed data derive requirements achieve quality results limit number network accesses. put forward two such come with these...

With the increasing popularity of Web 2.0 streams, people become overwhelmed by available information. This is partly countered tagging blog posts and tweets, so that users can filter messages according to their tags. However, this insufficient for detecting newly emerging topics are not reflected a single tag but rather expressed unusual combinations. paper presents enBlogue, an approach automatically such emergent topics. EnBlogue uses time-sliding window compute statistics about tags...

Simultaneous genomic selection for grain yield, protein content and dough rheological traits enables the development of resource-use efficient varieties that combine superior yield potential with comparably high end-use quality. Selecting simultaneously baking quality is a major challenge in wheat breeding, several concepts like deviations have been developed shifting undesirable negative correlation between both traits. The is, however, not considered these concepts, although it an...

This study identified a significant number of QTL that are associated with FHB disease resistance in NMBU spring wheat panel by conducting genome-wide association study. Fusarium head blight (FHB) is widely known devastating caused graminearum and other species. quantitative, highly complex divided into several types. Quantitative trait loci (QTL) effective against the types give valuable contributions to breeding. A 300 cultivars breeding lines Nordic exotic origins was tested artificially...

Selecting crossing combinations crucial for successfully developing new improved crop varieties and genomic data from DNA markers have become invaluable guiding plant breeders in evaluating choosing promising crosses between potential parents. However, navigating the vast array of thousands possible parental combinations, even with extensive information, can be challenging, experienced deep knowledge their crop’s gene pool. This case study aimed to evaluate effectiveness a recommender system...

We study the problem of continuous monitoring top-k queries over multiple non-synchronized streams. Assuming a sliding window model, this general has been well addressed research topic in recent years. Most approaches, however, assume synchronized streams where all attributes an object are known simultaneously to query processing engine. In many streaming scenarios though, different item reported separate which do not allow for exact score calculations. present how traditional notion...

Emergent topics are newly arising themes in news, blogs, or tweets, often implied by interesting and unexpected correlations of tags entities. We present the enBlogue system for emergent topic detection. The name reflects analogy with emerging trends fashion referred to as en Vogue. EnBlogue continuously monitors Web 2.0 streams keeps track sudden changes tag which can be adjusted using personalization reflect particular user interests. demonstrate several real-time monitoring scenarios well...

Abstract Selection for multiple traits is a highly challenging task breeders due to potential unfavorable associations between characters. Fusarium head blight FHB, being one of the most relevant diseases affecting durum wheat frequently shows in this respect an correlation with morpho-agronomical like plant height (PH) and heading date (HD). In study, we used cross-validation scheme assess prediction ability genomic predictions (GP) FHB severity relying on best linear unbiased models...

Abstract Key message NIRS of wheat grains as phenomic predictors for grain yield show inflated prediction ability and are biased toward protein content. Estimating the breeding value individuals using genome-wide marker data (genomic prediction) is currently one most important drivers progress in major crops. Recently, technologies, including remote sensing aerial hyperspectral imaging plant canopies, have made it feasible to predict absence genetic data. This commonly referred prediction....
