ABSTRACT Genomic selection offers great potential for increasing the rate of genetic improvement in plant breeding programs. This research used simulation to evaluate effectiveness different strategies genotyping and phenotyping enable genomic early generation individuals (e.g., F 2 ) programs involving biparental or similar backcross top cross) populations. By using phenotypes that were previously collected other populations, decisions could be made without waiting pertain directly...
Abstract Background Sunflower ( Helianthus annuus L.) is an important oilseed crop grown widely in various areas of the world. Classical genetic studies have been extensively undertaken for improvement this particular crop. Pertaining to endeavor, we developed a “chemically induced mutated resource detecting SNP by TILLING” sunflower create new traits. Results To optimize EMS mutagenesis, first conducted “kill curve” analysis with range dose from 0.5% 3%. Based on observed germination rate,...
ABSTRACT: Strong evidence demonstrated the negative effect of trans fatty acid (TFA) intake on cardiovascular diseases (CVD), diabetes, systemic inflammation, and hemostasis. As a consequence, different regulatory actions have been developed around world, aiming to reduce human consumption TFA. Replacement for TFA functionality requires incorporation plastic stable saturated fats; present options are palm or fully hydrogenated oils. Palm oil has described as responsible biological effects...
Abstract Dietary trans fatty acids (TFA) from industrial partial hydrogenation continue to occupy the attention of health and regulatory authorities, prompting renewed recommendations regulations around world. Partial liquid oils was widely used because it increases oxidative stability plasticity vegetable oils. The development high oleic (HO) appeared as an efficient healthy strategy replace partially hydrogenated At present, main sources HO are varieties sunflower, canola, soybean,...
Ninety-seven inbred lines of sunflower were screened in the field by treatment with a combination imazamox and malathion, an inhibitor cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s), to identify natural tolerance herbicide reversed malathion. One tolerant line, named TolP450-1, was selected characterized greenhouse evaluate its response herbicides imazamox, prosulfuron, atrazine at different plant development stages (germination, emergence, third difoliate) without For all analyzed, TolP450-1 showed...
We investigated variability in the response of oil fatty acid composition to temperature among high stearic and stearic-high oleic sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) genotypes. Two experiments were conducted with (including CAS-3 mutation) inbred lines both Soldatov mutations). Plants cultivated pots soil, irrigated, fertilised. exposed different day/night temperatures during grain filling: 16/16°C, 26/16°C, 26/26°C, 32/26°C. Oil was determined by gas–liquid chromatography seeds harvested...
This study characterized the influence of temperature during grain filling on saturated fatty acid distribution in triacylglycerol molecules from high stearic sunflower lines with different genetic backgrounds. Two growth chamber experiments were conducted day/night temperatures 16/16, 26/16, 26/26 and 32/26 °C.In all genotypes, independently background, higher increased palmitic oleic reduced linoleic concentrations. Increasing night produced an increase saturated-unsaturated-saturated...
Summary Genotype data from 14 microsatellite markers were used to assess the genetic diversity and differentiation of four guanaco populations Argentine Patagonia. These animals recently captured in wild maintained semi‐captivity for fibre production. Considerable these was suggested by finding a total 162 alleles, an average mean number alleles per locus ranging 6.50 8.19, H e values 0.66 0.74. Assessment population showed moderate but significant F ST = 0.071 ( P 0.000) R 0.083 0.000). An...
The effect of genetic background on the stability fatty acid composition in sunflower near isogenic lines (NILs) carrying high-oleic Pervenets (P) or NM1 mutations was studied. materials were field-tested different locations and at sowing dates to evaluate a wide range environmental conditions. Relationships established between acids minimum night temperature (MNT) response characterized.A for found both groups NILs. NM1-NILs showed an oleic level higher than 910 g kg-1 they more stable...
Histological examination of long bones from 1‐day‐old bcl‐2 knockout and age‐matched control mice revealed no obvious differences in length bone, growth plate architecture or stage endochondral ossification. In 35‐day‐old that are retarded ‘dwarfed’, the proliferative zone appeared slightly thinner secondary centres ossification less well developed than their wild‐type controls. The most marked histological effects ablation were on osteoblasts bone. mouse exhibited far greater numbers...
Abstract This work presents the mitochondrial DNA molecular organization of control region (CR) South American camelids. Sequencing five individuals each guanaco, llama, alpaca and vicuna species showed that this spans 1060 bp including three conserved sequence blocks (CSB I–III) adjacent to tRNAPhe gene, a central domain one extended termination‐associated in 3′ CR close tRNAPro gene. A repeated array formed by units 26 was detected between CSB I II. Alignment sequences from four shows...
A survey of 67 commercial fields in 19 locations was conducted the southern Pampean region Argentina for Phomopsis stem canker sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) between 2014 and 2019. total 210 plants having typical symptoms were randomly sampled, fungal isolation performed. Of 187 isolates Diaporthe that recovered, 94% showed morphological characteristics similar to D. helianthi, 3% gulyae, 1% caulivora, sojae, 0.5% kongii, longicolla. Following characterization, identity six morpho-species...
