Adaptability and stability of maize varieties using mixed model methodology

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2012
The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance, adaptability and stability of corn cultivars simultaneously in unbalanced experiments, using the method of harmonic means of the relative performance of genetic values.

Sparse single-step genomic BLUP in crossbreeding schemes.

Journal of animal science, 2018
The algorithm for proven and young animals (APY) efficiently computes an approximated inverse of the genomic relationship matrix, by dividing genotyped animals in the so-called core and noncore animals. The APY leads to computationally feasible single-step genomic Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (ssGBLUP) with a large number of genotyped animals and ...

A drought stress‐induced MYB transcription factor regulates pavement cell shape in leaves of European aspen (Populus tremula)

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 5, Page 2688-2705, September 2026.
MYB305a promoter expression increases in pavement cells as they grow and acquire their complex shape. Summary Leaf pavement cells of many plant species develop jigsaw puzzle‐like shapes in which neighboring cells interdigitate, providing an ideal model for the study of cell shape regulation.

A Vegan Diet Epigenetically Modulates Inflammatory Pathways and Biological Aging: Genome‐Wide DNA Methylation Analysis of a One‐Month Isocaloric Vegan Versus Meat‐Rich Dietary Intervention

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 8, August 2026.
This study provides comprehensive insights into the epigenetic impacts of dietary interventions, specifically contrasting the effects of a vegan diet (VD) with a meat‐rich diet (MR) on DNAm profiles and their potential health implications. Dietary habits can significantly reshape the epigenomic landscape within 1 month, with the VD exerting a more ...

MYB59 is Linked to Natural Variation of Water‐Use Associated With Warmer Temperatures in Arabidopsis thaliana

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Water‐use contributes significantly to plant growth and productivity, yet the extent to which variation in water‐use is a function of adaptive differentiation is unknown. Here, we studied natural variation of water use in Arabidopsis thaliana to understand how climatic history impacts water‐use strategies.

Fixed or Random Effects: Analysis of Clustered Data

Statistics in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 18-19, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In analyzing clustered data, random effects (RE) and fixed effects (FE) models are two primary approaches. The RE model assumes that the cluster‐specific effects are random and uncorrelated with individual characteristics. If this assumption is violated, the RE approach can lead to biased estimates of the coefficients of individual covariates ...

Using Latent Representations to Link Disjoint Longitudinal Data for Mixed‐Effects Regression

Statistics in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 18-19, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Many rare diseases offer limited established treatment options, leading patients to switch therapies when new medications emerge. To analyze the impact of such treatment switches within the low sample size limitations of rare disease trials, it is important to use all available data sources.

Spatial Heterogeneity in Heat‐Related Mortality in the Valencian Region: Implications for Climate Adaptation Beyond Administrative Boundaries

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The intensification of extreme heat events in the Mediterranean basin poses growing threats to public health, particularly in climate‐vulnerable regions like the Valencian Region (eastern Spain). Despite the implementation of provincial and municipal heat prevention plans, their efficacy remains unevaluated, and most studies have focused on ...
