Genomic selection (GS) is a breeding tool that estimates values (GEBVs) of individuals based solely on marker data by using model built phenotypic and from training population (TP). The effectiveness GS increases as the correlation GEBVs phenotypes (accuracy) increases. Using genotypic TP 470 soft winter wheat lines, we assessed accuracy for grain yield, Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) resistance, softness equivalence (SE), flour yield (FY). Four sampling schemes were tested: (1) use all data,...
Abstract Inorganic nano fillers have demonstrated great potential to enhance the properties of natural rubber (NR). The present article reports successful development a NR nanocomposite reinforced with silica (SiO 2 ). Its dynamic mechanical properties, thermal aging resistance, and morphology are investigated. results show that SiO nanoparticles homogenously distributed throughout matrix in form spherical nano‐cluster an average size 80 nm when content is 4 wt%. With introduction ,...
An assessment of genetic diversity marine populations is critical not only for the understanding and preservation natural biodiversity but also its economic potential. As commercial demand rises resources, it to generate baseline information monitoring wild populations. Furthermore, anthropogenic stressors on coastal environment, such as warming sea surface temperatures overharvesting populations, are leading destruction keystone species kelps. In this study, we conducted a fine-scale...
Saccharina latissima (sugar kelp) is one of the most widely cultivated brown marine macroalgae species in North Atlantic and eastern Pacific Oceans. To meet expanding demands sugar kelp mariculture industry, selecting breeding that best suited to offshore farm environments becoming necessary. end, a multi-year, multi-institutional program was established by U.S. Department Energy's (DOE) Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) Macroalgae Inspiring Novel Energy Resources (MARINER)...
Being one of the most important staple dietary constituents globally, genetic enhancement cultivated rice for yield, agronomically traits is substantial importance. Even though climatic factors and crop management practices impact complex like yield immensely, contribution variation by underlying surpasses them all. Previous studies have highlighted importance utilizing exotic germplasm, landraces in enhancing diversity gene pool, leading to better selections thus superior cultivars. Thus,...
Introduction Sugar kelp ( Saccharina latissima ) has a biphasic life cycle, allowing selection on both thediploid sporophytes (SPs) and haploid gametophytes (GPs). Methods We trained genomic (GS) model from farm-tested SP phenotypic data used mixed-ploidy additive relationship matrix to predict GP breeding values. Topranked GPs were make crosses for further farm evaluation. The included 866 individuals: a) founder SPs sampled the wild; b) progeny founders; c) Farm-tested crossed b); d) SPs....
Abstract Our team has initiated a selective breeding program for regional strains of sugar kelp, Saccharina latissima , to improve the competitiveness kelp farming in United States. Within our program, we also include an endemic putative species, angustissima locally referred as skinny kelp. We crossed uniclonal gametophyte cultures derived from 37 wild‐collected blades representing five and one strain produce 104 unique crosses. Each cross was outplanted on near‐shore research farm located...
Abstract Though Saccharina japonica cultivation has been established for many decades in East Asian countries, the domestication process of sugar kelp (Saccharina latissima) Northeast United States is still at its infancy. In this study, by using data from our breeding experience, we will demonstrate how obstacles accelerated genetic gain can be assessed simulation approaches that inform resource allocation decisions. Thus far, have used 140 wild sporophytes were sampled 2018 northern Gulf...
Chitosan nanoparticles were successfully prepared by chemical cross-linking with vanillin. The spherical in shape smooth surface, and the average particle size of chitosan was 141 nm. formulation is based on Shiff reaction between aldehyde group vanillin amino chitosan. crosslinking are promising vehicle for drug delivery various anticancer drugs chemotherapy cancers.
Genomic selection (GS) uses training population (TP) data to estimate the value of lines in a population. In breeding, TP and are often grown different environments, which can cause low prediction accuracy when correlation genetic effects between environments is low. Subsets may be more predictive than using all data. Our objectives were (i) evaluate effect subsets on GS (ii) assess models incorporating marker × environment interaction (MEI). Two wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) populations...
Although grain yield is the most important trait for growers, milling and baking industries demand high‐quality scab‐free grains various end products. To accelerate breeding of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars with high quality, genetic dissection quality traits necessary. Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) were conducted to identify genomic regions responsible in soft red winter (SRWW). Seven evaluated two locations 2 yr 270 elite SRWW lines. These include flour yield, softness...
MicroRNA (miRNA) is a kind of non-coding RNA that regulates gene expression and involved in tumor development. MiRNA-125 reportedly aberrantly expressed colorectal cancer tissue; however, its potential function underlying mechanism remain unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the level role miRNA-125 family invasion migration cancer.To further understand metastatic cancer, we overexpressed SW480 cell line by transfection with mimics or sponge. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT)...
Abstract Food‐grade soybeans [ Glycine max (L.) Merr] used to produce tofu have specific seed composition, shape, size and colour requirements. Seed qualities, such as protein content, been correlated with texture. The objective of this study was determine the relationships between textural qualities characters, including size, density, weight, content oil content. Tofu produced from 48 high‐protein or food‐grade soybean lines grown at two locations in 2010. Four traits were assessed work...
Surface modified nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) was prepared by silicon-69, and then blended into natural rubber latex to prepare nanocomposites. The nanocomposites properties of tensile properties, tear strength, morphology thermal dynamic mechanical were measured property testing, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), analysis (DMA), respectively. results showed that NCC is homogeneously distributed throughout NR matrix, which leads the enhancement on properties. Moreover, storage modulus...
CD3+CD4-CD8- double-negative T (DNT) cells are new weapons in cancer immunotherapy. Here, we explored DNT malignant pleural effusions (MPEs) from lung patients. cells, especially TCRαβ+CD56- were increased MPE highly expressed PD-1, TRAIL, NKG2D and DNAM-1. In contrast, FasL was barely detected cells. Compared with non-MPE MPE-derived much higher levels of PD-1 TRAIL. healthy peripheral blood donors potentially killed cancers, which decreased by supernatant. Exosomes supernatant CEACAM1...
Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) based on epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) and polypropylene (PP) were prepared in an internal mixer at 180°C. The effects of curing systems (i.e., sulfur peroxide) morphological, rheological, thermal mechanical properties studied. It is found that the cured TPVs show higher tensile strength, tear strength elongation break than those with DCP systems. rheological analysis indicates system lower apparent shear viscosity system.
