The plant-derived α-linolenic acid (ALA) is an essential n-3 highly susceptible to oxidation, present in oils of flaxseeds, walnuts, canola, perilla, soy, and chia. After ingestion, it can be incorporated body lipid pools (particularly triglycerides phospholipid membranes), then endogenously metabolized through desaturation, elongation, peroxisome oxidation eicosapentaenoic (EPA) docosahexaenoic (DHA), with a very limited efficiency for DHA), beta-oxidized as energy source, or directly...

The success in growing agricultural plants depends on genotype grown, environment and technology applied. impacts of these factors should not be studied separately. Interaction among genotypes was crucial for breeding work improvement variety characteristics. Very often production practice it happens that when comparing the same varieties different soil weather conditions they are ranked differently. One key aims set at breeders is traits wide adaptability calculating complex components...

Breeding new line pepper genotypes is an important goal for the Institute Vegetable Crops, Smederevska Palanka. Years of selection resulted in great number varieties, however, F1 hybrids started recently. Pepper have proved to be better than cultivars terms earliness, yield, plant uniformity, pathogen resistance etc. Considering significant heterosis values this paper deals with genetic analysis and F2 hybrids, obtained by crossing four lines, including ms HM-6.
