The yield of cereal crops such as sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) depends on the distribution crop-heads in varying branching arrangements. Therefore, counting head number per unit area is critical for plant breeders to correlate with genotypic variation a specific breeding field. However, measuring phenotypic traits manually an extremely labor-intensive process and suffers from low efficiency human errors. Moreover, almost infeasible large-scale plantations or experiments. Machine...
Summary Grain size is a key yield component of cereal crops and major quality attribute. It determined by genotype’s genetic potential its capacity to fill the grains. This study aims dissect architecture grain in sorghum. An integrated genome‐wide association (GWAS) was conducted using diversity panel ( n = 837) BC‐NAM population 1421). To isolate effects associated with size, rather than grains, treatment removing half panicle imposed during flowering. Extensive highly heritable variation...
Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a C4 tropical grass that plays an essential role in providing nutrition to humans and livestock, particularly marginal rainfall environments. The timing of head development the number heads per unit area are key adaptation traits consider agronomy breeding, but time consuming labor intensive score. We propose two-step machine-based image processing method detect count from high-resolution images captured by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) breeding...
Given the strong association between obesity and endometrial cancer risk, dietary factors may play an important role in development of this cancer. However, observational studies micro- macronutrients their risk have been inconsistent. Clarifying these relationships are to develop nutritional recommendations for prevention. We performed two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) investigate effects circulating levels 15 micronutrients (vitamin A (retinol), folate, vitamin B6, B12, C, D, E,...
Agronomic and quality traits in alfalfa are very important to forage industry. Genomic prediction based on genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) data could shorten the breeding cycles accelerate genetic gains of these complex traits, if they display moderate high accuracies. The aim this study was investigate predictive potentials alfalfa. A total 322 genotypes from 75 accessions were used for genomic agronomic which related yield nutrition value, respectively, using BayesA, BayesB, BayesCπ...
The effect of trace boron in steels, especially the influence on microstructure and properties low carbon bainitic steels were summarized. It was pointed out that hardenability is determined by non-equilibrium segregation grain boundaries. synergistic with other elements can enhance effect. abnormal moving new boundaries basic reason retarding recrystallization deformed austenite, addition copper niobium will increase this accelerates strain induced carbonitride precipitation, refine improve...
Bacterial strain M19T was isolated from the gut of a wood-feeding termite, Nasutitermes hainanensis. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that related to members genus Lactococcus, with sequence similarities ranging 84.8 95.5 %. Comparison housekeeping ropB revealed well separated Lactococcus fujiensis JCM 16395T and hircilactis 117T. The isolate Gram-stain-positive, catalase-negative non-motile. Cells were coccoid or ovoid-shaped, occurred singly, in pairs as...
In the domain of fire-resistant steels, characteristics precipitates significantly influence material properties. This study developed a novel heat treatment protocol to concurrently achieve both interphase precipitation and random precipitation. Samples were subjected isothermal treatments at various temperatures durations, while techniques such as scanning electron microscopy (SEM) transmission (TEM) employed thoroughly analyze coarsening behavior two types precipitate reveal their thermal...
Abstract Background Obesity is a major risk factor for endometrial cancer, but it unknown whether impacts the association between genetic and cancer. We incorporated polygenic score epidemiological factors in prediction of investigated associations BMI with cancer Methods generated 129,829 unrelated female participants European ancestry (including 956 incident cases cancer) UK Biobank predicted using established factors, including BMI. evaluated performance models by odds ratios area under...
Genome-wide association studies [GWAS] have identified a limited number of endometrial cancer risk loci by analyzing single nucleotide polymorphisms [SNPs]. We hypothesized that haplotypes rather than SNPs could provide novel and more detailed information on genetic susceptibility loci. To examine the SNP or haplotype with we performed two-stage GWAS. The discovery GWAS included sub-cohort 1,116 Swedish cases 5,021 controls from previously published data. A sliding window analysis was...
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed sixteen risk loci for endoemtrial cancer but the identification of candidate susceptibility genes remains challenging. Here, we perform transcriptome-wide study (TWAS) analyses using largest endometrial GWAS and gene expression from six relevant tissues, prioritizing eight genes, one which (EEFSEC) is located at a potentially novel locus. We also show evidence biologically tissue-specific associations CYP19A1 (adipose), HEY2 (ovary) SKAP1...
Agriculture is facing enormous challenges to feed a growing population in the face of rapidly evolving pests and pathogens. The rusts, particular, are major pathogen cereal crops with potential cause large reductions yield. Improving stable disease resistance an on-going challenging focus for many plant breeding programs, due nature pathogen. Sorghum summer crop that also host rust Puccinia purpurea, which occurs almost all sorghum areas world, causing direct indirect yield losses worldwide,...
Variation in grain size, a major determinant of yield and quality cereal crops, is determined by both the plant's genetic potential available assimilate to fill absence stress. This study investigated size variation response supply sorghum using diversity panel (n = 837) backcross-nested association mapping population 1421) across four experiments. To explore effects availability on top half selected panicles was removed at anthesis. Results showed substantial five parameters with high...
To detect novel endometrial cancer risk variants, we leveraged information from factors in a multi-trait GWAS analysis. We first assessed causal relationships between established and suspected factors, using Mendelian randomization. Following multivariable analysis, five independent (waist circumference, testosterone levels, sex hormone binding globulin age at menarche, natural menopause) were included Bayesian identified three potentially loci that associate with risk, one of which (7q22.1)...
A Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, aerobic and terminal-endospore-forming rod-shaped bacterium, strain P5-1T, was isolated from the hindgut of a wood-feeding higher termite, Nasutitermes sp. Phylogenetic analysis 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that closely related to Paenibacillus sepulcri CCM 7311T (97.5 % similarity). Growth observed at 10-40 °C (optimum, 30 °C) pH 5.5-9.0 7.5). The DNA G+C content P5-1T 48.9 mol%. Cells contained menaquinone 7 (MK-7) as sole respiratory quinone major...
Sorghum in Australia is grown water-limited environments of varying extent, generating substantial genotype × environment interactions (GEIs) for grain yield. Much the yield variation and GEI results from variations flowering time tillering through their effects on canopy development. The confounding complicate interpretation breeding trials. In this study, we evaluated impacts both (DTF) capacity (FTN) 1741 unique test hybrids derived three common female testers 21 testing trials (48...
To determine the effects of leaf colour on gas exchange and chlorophyll fluorescence, two genotypes Begonia semperflorens with green leaves or red were compared. The showed a high accumulation anthocyanins absorbance at 282 537 nm while exhibited higher net photosynthetic rate lower thermal dissipation light energy. It seems likely that in vacuoles restricted absorption to chloroplasts, leading decrease efficiency excitation capture by open PS 2 centres, photochemical quenching CO2 assimilation.
