This research study underscores the importance of effectively managing soil nutrients in a site-specific manner to enhance crop productivity while considering spatial variability soil. The objective is identify subfields with similar characteristics, referred as management zones (MZs), promote sustainable land utilization. was conducted two central pivot fields located Southern Idaho, USA, where barley and sugar beets were grown. Soil samples collected from each field grid pattern analyzed...
Sweet cherry is consumed widely across the world and provides substantial economic benefits in regions where it grown. While breeding has been conducted Pacific Northwest for over half a century, little known about genetic architecture of important traits. We used genome-enabled mixed model to predict performance 505 individuals 32 phenological, disease response fruit quality traits evaluated RosBREED sweet crop data set. Genome-wide predictions were estimated using repeated measures...
Mastitis, an inflammatory condition affecting more than 25% of breastfeeding women, is usually associated with reduced milk secretion, pain, and discomfort, which often leads to early cessation breastfeeding. Although the etiology mastitis multifactorial, a pro-inflammatory state mammary gland might be risk factor. However, changes in composition, specifically immune profile, prior during have not been well described. To help close this research gap, we documented profiles produced by both...
Soluble stem carbohydrates are a component of drought response in wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) and other grasses. Near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIR) can rapidly assay for soluble indirectly, but this requires statistical model calibration. The objectives study were: (i) to build robust calibration between the NIR spectra carbohydrate concentration ground stems; (ii) determine whether correlated with yield rankings drought‐stricken grown northwestern United States. Five spring cultivars were...
The timing of fruit maturity is an important trait in sweet cherry production and breeding. Phenotypic variation for phenology appears to be under strong genetic control, but that control might complicated by phenotypic instability across environments. Although such genotype-by-environment interaction (G × E) a common phenomenon crop plants, knowledge about it lacking other traits. In this study, 1673 genome-wide SNP markers were used estimate genomic relationships among 597 weakly...
Fall‐sown chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.) yields are often double those of spring‐sown in regions with Mediterranean climates that have mild winters. However, winter kill can limit the productivity fall‐sown chickpea. Developing cold‐tolerant would allow expansion current geographic range where is grown and also improve productivity. The objective this study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated cold tolerance An interspecific recombinant inbred line population 129 lines...
Abstract Pea ( Pisum sativum L.) is a key rotational crop and increasingly important in the food processing sector for its protein. This study focused on identifying diverse high seed protein concentration (SPC) lines pea plant genetic resources. Objectives included high‐protein lines, exploring architecture across environments, pinpointing genes metabolic pathways associated with protein, documenting information single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)‐based marker‐assisted selection. From 2019...
DNA-informed breeding, the integration of DNA-based genetic information into plant breeding programs, can enhance efficiency, accuracy, creativity, and pace new cultivar development. Most knowledge on key traits for has been obtained through QTL analyses. Despite an explosion in discoveries horticulture crops, very few those have translated tools horticultural crop breeding. An example such with direct application improvement are trait-predictive DNA tests. The translation a promising to...
The objective was to investigate associations of serum vitamin D concentration with depressive symptoms and assess the impact has on occurrence in 20–44-year-old pregnant mothers, postpartum women (non-pregnant/postpartum women), men, including a separate subgroup analysis breastfeeding non-breastfeeding mothers. study populations were selected from 2007-2018 NHANES public data. Subjective interview data laboratory data, symptoms, concentration, nutrient intake, demographic information...

Abstract Invasive Hieracium plant species are invading the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The potential distribution of orange hawkweed ( aurantiacum) and meadow caespitosum) were estimated using habitat susceptibility models to assist land managers’ management these invasive plants. objectives this study to: (1) develop describing ecosystems invasion, (2) identify indicator hawkweed, (3) determine types where hawkweeds might occur, (4) create maps for planning ground surveys. Models...
Extension can play a valuable role by bringing together those who are pioneering innovative practices. We planned, built, and evaluated an symposium on dryland organic agriculture. Post-symposium evaluations indicated that this process disseminated regionally relevant information; fostered networks among producers, researchers, the processing feed industries; enhanced trust stakeholders; increased interest in expanding production. Ninety-five percent of respondents they established new...
Quantification of variation for phenotypic traits within and among weed populations facilitate understanding invasion mechanisms management tactics. In the Pacific Northwest (PNW), USA, in response to climate change improve sustainability, producers are increasingly adopting broadleaf crops cover crops, but Mayweed chamomile ( Anthemis cotula L.) is a significant barrier diversifying cropping systems because its abundance lack herbicide options control. To quantify within-population trait...
In the Lake Tahoe Basin in California and Nevada (USA), managing nutrient export from watersheds into streams lake is a significant challenge that needs to be addressed improve water quality. Leaching runoff of phosphorus (P) soils major source lake, P loading potential different varies as function landscape ecosystem properties, how watershed managed. this research, availability speciation forest meadow were measured at two with parent material types. Soils developed on andesitic materials...
Chilling-related meat quality issues have been observed in the deep portion of top round due to increase average beef carcass size. The current study examines impact an alternative fabrication method aimed at alleviating heavy weight carcasses (n = 11; 510 kg weight). Prior rigor, knuckle subprimal was partially fabricated expose femur on alternating sides each (TRT), and adjacent intact side served as a control (CON). All were air chilled (2°C) for 48 h before further fabricating....
Mayweed chamomile ( Anthemis cotula L.) is an annual crop weed that has become a substantial impediment to diversify traditional wheat-based cropping systems such as in the Pacific Northwest (PNW), USA. Some of broadleaf rotational crops are vulnerable they less competitive or lack compatible herbicides for A. management. Although been present PNW more than century, traits contribute invasiveness and how these vary among populations have not investigated. We assessed trait variation with...
