A high-resolution genetic map combined with haplotype analyses identified a wheat ortholog of rice gene APO1 as the best candidate for 7AL locus affecting spikelet number per spike. better understanding genes controlling differences in grain yield components can accelerate improvements required to satisfy future food demands. In this study, we promising underlying quantitative trait (QTL) on chromosome arm regulating spike (SNS). We used large heterogeneous inbred families ( > 10,000 plants)...
Intermediate wheatgrass [IWG; (Host) Barkworth & D.R. Dewey subsp. ] is being developed as a new perennial grain crop that has large allohexaploid genome similar to of wheat ( L.). Breeding for increased seed weight one the primary goals improving yield IWG. As crop, however, genetic architecture and size not been characterized, selective breeding IWG may be more intricate than because its self-incompatible mating system growth habit. Here, weight, area size, width, length were evaluated...
Global climate change and increases in sea levels will affect coastal marine communities. The conservation of these ecologically important areas be a challenge because their wide geographic distribution, ecological diversity species richness. To address this problem, we need to better understand how the genetic variation communities is distributed within local populations, among populations between distant regions. In study apply genotyping by sequencing (GBS) examine 955 SNPs determine...
Abstract To improve the efficiency of high-density genotype data storage and imputation in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), we applied Practical Haplotype Graph (PHG) tool. The Wheat PHG database was built using whole-exome capture sequencing from a diverse set 65 accessions. Population haplotypes were inferred for reference genome intervals defined by boundaries high-quality gene models. Missing genotypes inference panels, composed cultivars or recombinant inbred lines genotyped exome...

In three separate interviews, special issue coeditor Max Fraser discusses the past, present, and future of labor journalism with today’s most widely read writers: Steven Greenhouse, formerly New York Times; Labor Notes’s Jane Slaughter; freelance writer Sarah Jaffe. Together, they offer a unique perspective on evolving political economic landscape beat during recent decades, as labor’s long decline deteriorating fortunes “traditional media” news outlets have combined to refashion way writers...
The events of September 11 changed American politics in ways that continue to reverberate today—including the way we think and talk about working-class conservatism. author describes how aftermath 9/11 shaped his own developing interests labor history, it continues shape research agenda as a scholar postwar America.
If you were asked to name an iconic American city of the last fifty years, odds are your first choice wouldn’t be Nashville. So might say it was inspired piece wishful thinking when, in October 1962, Mayor Ben West staked a claim Nashville’s future by posting new roadside signs on highways leading into town. For time, visitors welcomed “Home Grand Ole Opry, Music City U.S.A.” In half century that followed, U.S.A. has been subject great film, popular television melodrama, and much...
Historians, journalists, and political commentators of various stripes have been pointing to such displays plutocratic excess venal disregard for the less fortunate as evidence a second “Gilded Age” in our own time, retrogression latter decades nineteenth century when America’s financial elite first put on airs aristocrat. To be sure, there is much recommend this analogy. But close reading David Huyssen’s new book Progressive Inequality, finely written anecdotally rich account class...
