Technical note: Prediction of liveweight from linear conformation traits in dairy cattle [PDF]

, 2012
The objectives of this study were to derive phenotypic and genetic prediction equations of liveweight from linear conformation traits, and estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters for these traits.

The Landscape of Long Non‐Coding RNAs Provides Insights Into the Domestication and Improvement of Pear Fruit

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that long non‐coding RNAs represent important regulatory components underlying pear domestication and improvement. Integrative multi‐omics analyses identify selected lncRNAs associated with fruit traits, while functional validation uncovers a lignin‐related lncRNA, lncRNA‐pys, that promotes lignin accumulation.

Prospective of new grape (Vitis vinifera L.) hybrids in the raisin industry

Journal of Horticultural Sciences
India is one of the world’s leading producers of raisins. However, only a few grape varieties are used to sustain raisin production in India. Therefore, using bunch and berry characteristics, biochemical content, and sensory evaluation, seven possible ...

Drought Stress Mediated Changes in Food Crops: Mechanisms and Remediation Strategies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work presents a multi‐scale framework for flavonoid‐mediated drought tolerance in staple food crops, integrating ROS redox regulation, antioxidant defense, rhizosphere microbial interactions, and sustainable agronomic practices. This interdisciplinary model provides core insights to develop climate‐resilient cropping systems and enhance global ...

Response surface optimization of irrigation interval, urea rate, and guar cultivar for maximizing seed yield, biomass, galactomannan yield, and seed oil content

Cogent Food & Agriculture
Water scarcity poses a major challenge to guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba L.) production in arid regions. This study objectively aimed to optimize the interactive effects of irrigation interval (6, 9, 12 days), urea rate (50, 100, 150 kg ha−1), and ...

Investigations of the Evolved Molecular Basis for Terpenoid Biosynthesis in Marine Sponges

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Confirming and extending a previous observation in another Bubarida sponge, genomic and functional analyses of A. cavernosa reveal that sponges retain the mevalonate pathway and employ single α‐domain T1TSs and UbiA‐type TSs for terpenoid biosynthesis. The absence of T1TSs clustering with other biosynthetic genes tentatively suggests, based on limited ...

Genetic evaluation of fertility using direct and correlated traits [PDF]

, 2003
Poor fertility has become a major reason for involuntary culling of dairy cows in the United Kingdom. Calving interval (CI) and body condition score (BCS) are recorded, heritable, genetically correlated with each other, and could be used to extend the ...

Nitrogen fertilization amplifies stem borer susceptibility in rice: genotype-dependent trade-offs between yield and resistance

Frontiers in Plant Science
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) productivity is strongly influenced by nitrogen fertilization, genotype, and stem borer infestation. Understanding the interaction between nitrogen fertilization and genotype in determining host plant resistance and yield is ...

Switching Spike Plasticity Shapes ACE2 Engagement Across SARS‐CoV‐2 Variants

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Conformational plasticity governs SARS‐CoV‐2 spike function and ACE2 recognition. Using high‐speed AFM and single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we analyzed the ancestral spike and nine variants, revealing progressive rigidification from Delta, variable plasticity in Omicron sublineages, and JN.1 compaction.

QTL ANALYSIS OF BIOCHEMICAL TRAITS OF QUALITY IN BRASSICA RAPA L.

, 2014
Using two mapping populations of DH lines of Brassica rapa (DH30, obtained by crossing of turnip and yellow sarson, and DH38, obtained by crossing of pakchoi and yellow sarson) the QTL analysis of five biochemical traits of quality was done.
