Perennial grains hold promise, especially for marginal landscapes or with limited resources where annual versions struggle.
Advances in automation and data science have led agriculturists to seek real-time, high-quality, high-volume crop accelerate improvement through breeding optimize agronomic practices. Breeders recently gained massive data-collection capability genome sequencing of plants. Faster phenotypic trait collection analysis relative genetic leads faster better selections improvement. Furthermore, higher-resolution greater for scientists growers improve precision-agriculture practices on increasingly...
Salinity is a leading threat to crop growth throughout the world. Salt stress induces altered physiological processes and several inhibitory effects on of cereals, including wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). In this study, we determined salinity five spring winter genotypes seedlings. We evaluated salt root shoot attributes, i.e., length (RL), (SL), relative rate (RGR-RL), (RGR-SL). The ionic content leaves was also measured. Physiological traits were assessed, stomatal conductance (gs),...
Abstract Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina ( Pt ), is a serious constraint to wheat production. Developing resistant varieties the best approach managing this disease. Wheat leaf rust resistance Lr ) genes have been classified into either all‐stage (ASR) or adult‐plant (APR). The objectives of study were identify sources in contemporary US hard winter (HWW) and dissect genetic basis underlying HWW. A panel 732 elite HWW genotypes was evaluated for response races at seedling stage adult...
Wheat is a cool seasoned crop requiring low temperature during grain filling duration and therefore increased causes significant yield reduction. A set of 125 spring wheat genotypes from International Maize Improvement Centre (CIMMYT-Mexico) was evaluated for phenological related traits at three locations in Pakistan under normal sowing time late expose to prolonged high temperature. With the help genome-wide association study using genotyping-by-sequencing, marker trait associations (MTAs)...
A physically anchored consensus map is foundational to modern genomics research; however, construction of such a in oat (Avena sativa L., 2n = 6x 42) has been hindered by the size and complexity genome, scarcity robust molecular markers, lack aneuploid stocks. Resources developed this study include modified SNP discovery method for complex genomes, diverse set novel chromosome-deficient anchoring strategy. These resources were applied build first complete, physically-anchored hexaploid oat....
Short-term prediction of passenger flow is very important for the operation and management a rail transit system. Based on traditional Kalman filtering method, this paper puts forward three revised models real-time forecasting. First, introduces historical error into measurement equation formulates model based correction coefficient (KF-ECC). Second, employs deviation between corresponding data as state variable presents Historical Deviation (KF-HD). Third, integrates nonparametric...
Six hundred thirty five oat ( Avena sativa L.) lines and 4561 single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci were used to evaluate population structure, linkage disequilibrium (LD), genotype–phenotype association with heading date. The first principal components (PCs) accounted for 25.3% of genetic variation. Neither the eigenvalues 25 PCs nor cross‐validation errors from K = 1 20 model‐based analyses suggested a structured population. However, PC 2 supported clustering on spring vs. southern...
ABSTRACT Biotic stresses including diseases (leaf, stem and stripe rusts), arthropods (greenbug [GB], Hessian fly [Hf], Russian wheat aphid [RWA], curl mite [WCM]) their transmitted viral significantly affect grain yield end‐use quality of hard winter ( Triticum aestivum L.) in the U.S. Great Plains. Many genes or quantitative trait loci (QTL) have been identified for seedling adult‐plant resistance to these stresses. Molecular markers QTL using mapping cloning. This study summarizes...
Salinity stress can be mitigated by using the physiological seed enhancements. Kharchia 65 (salt tolerant) and PI.94341 sensitive) genotypes were evaluated under salt (20 dS/m) various priming treatments, that is hydropriming halopriming (50 mmol, KCl NaCl) in a pot study. Experiment was conducted completely randomized design factorial arrangements with three replications. Priming agents improved final emergence percentage (FEP), index (EI) reduced mean time of both wheat normal saline...
Stable quantitative trait loci (QTL) are important for deployment in marker assisted selection wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and other crops. We reported QTL discovery using a population of 217 recombinant inbred lines multiple statistical approach including multi-environment, multi-trait epistatic interactions analysis. detected nine consistent linked to different traits on chromosomes 1A, 2A, 2B, 5A, 5B, 6A, 6B 7A. Grain yield were 2B.1 5B across three or four models GenStat, MapQTL,...
Abstract Unmanned aerial systems (UASs) have increased our capacity for collecting finer spatiotemporal resolution data that were previously unobtainable through conventional methods. The use of UAS obtaining high‐throughput phenotyping (HTP) in plant breeding programs has gained popularity recent years. integrity and quality the raw are essential ensuring accuracy predictive tools proper interpretation data. This paper summarizes standard operation procedures high‐quality collection,...
Cell membranes are the site for many biological activities of plant and play a key role in heat‐induced damage to wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.). This study evaluated genetic variability using two assays heat tolerance, estimated their heritability by parent‐offspring regression, correlation, realized F 3 plants 4 progeny means. One assay tolerance was membrane thermal stability (MTS) which measures electrolyte leakage from leaf tissue after exposure high temperature. Heat injury also...
Abstract Wheat cultivars ‘TAM 111’ and 112’ have been dominantly grown in the Southern U.S. Great Plains for many years due to their high yield drought tolerance. To identify molecular basis genetic control of tolerance these two landmark cultivars, RNA-seq analysis was conducted compare gene expression difference flag leaves under fully irrigated (wet) water deficient (dry) conditions. A total 2254 genes showed significantly altered patterns dry wet conditions cultivars. TAM 111 had 593...
Drought significantly limits wheat productivity across the temporal and spatial domains. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) has become an indispensable tool to collect refined high resolution imagery data. A 2-year field study was conducted in 2018 2019 determine effects of drought on canopy growth winter wheat. Weekly UAS data were collected using red, green, blue (RGB) multispectral (MS) sensors over a yield trial consisting 22 cultivars both irrigated dryland environments. Raw-images processed...
Malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT), first described by Beckwith and Palmer in 1978 as a variant of Wilms’ tumor, is an aggressive neoplasm with early onset poor prognosis. extra-renal tumors (MERTs) can arise various locations often present at birth disseminated disease without identifiable primary site, posing significant diagnostic therapeutic challenges. This case highlights the complexity diagnosing 11-day-old preterm infant multiple enlarging masses, including hypervascular forehead lesion,...
ABSTRACT Arsenic (As) is not an essential element and can be toxic to both plants animals. Low As concentrations in all foodstuffs, including rice grain, a desirable goal because of the potential detrimental impacts on plant growth yield its toxicity humans. Twenty‐five diverse ( Oryza sativa L.) cultivars, indica japonica subspecies, were grown over 3‐yr period (2004, 2005, 2007) moderate As‐concentration, paddy soil (Dewitt silt loam, fine, smectitic, thermic Typic Albaqualf) under...
