Effects of Downy Mildew Infection and Potassium on Growth and Physiological Traits of Greenhouse Cucumber

open access: yesAgronomy
Both abiotic and biological stresses reduce the quality and quantity of cultivated plants. In order to observe the response of cucumber plants to potassium stress and cucumber downy mildew infestation, two different levels of downy mildew infestation, B0

Phenotypic Evaluation of a Hybrid Diploid Blueberry Population for Plant Development and Fruit Quality Traits

open access: yesAgronomy, 2020
A diploid blueberry mapping population, used previously to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) for chilling requirement and cold hardiness, was evaluated for several plant development and fruit quality traits. Specifically, the population was phenotyped in

Melatonin Interaction with Other Phytohormones in the Regulation of Abiotic Stresses in Horticultural Plants

open access: yesAntioxidants
Horticultural crops play a vital role in global food production, nutrition, and the economy. Horticultural crops are highly vulnerable to abiotic stresses.

Identification and Functional Prediction of Circular RNAs Related to Growth Traits and Skeletal Muscle Development in Duroc pigs

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2022
Porcine skeletal muscle is a highly heterogeneous tissue type, and the Longissimus Dorsi muscle (LDM), as the most economical and physiologically metabolized skeletal muscle in pigs, has always been the focus of research and improvement in pig molecular ...

Growth performance, carcase characteristics and meat quality of crossbred bulls and heifers from double-muscled Belgian Blue sires and Brown Swiss, Simmental and Rendena dams [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Growth, conformation, carcase and meat quality traits of crossbred calves obtained in the Alps from selected Belgian Blue sires (BB) and Brown Swiss (BS), Simmental (Si) and Rendena (Re) dams were studied, emphasising differences on dairy and dual ...

Evolution of Microbial Growth Traits Under Serial Dilution [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics, 2019
Abstract Selection of mutants in a microbial population depends on multiple cellular traits. In serial-dilution evolution experiments, three key traits are the lag time when transitioning from starvation to growth, the exponential growth rate, and the yield (number of cells per unit resource).

The Olive tree from juvenility to maturity: Insight on the developmental changes over years and the genetic basis of vegetative and reproductive traits : W304 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Fruit trees productivity is closely linked to their development. Integrating architectural traits in breeding programs could optimise cultivation management and improve bearing regularity.

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Detection of Insertion/Deletions (InDel) Within Five Clock Genes and Their Associations with Growth Traits in Four Chinese Sheep Breeds

open access: yesVeterinary Sciences
Organisms have the capacity to detect day–night fluctuations through oscillators regulated by circadian clock genes, which are crucial for regulating various biological processes.

Genetic aspects of calving, growth, and carcass traits in beef cattle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The aim of this thesis was to learn more about the genetic background of calving, growth and carcass traits of beef cattle breeds in Sweden, and to assess the possibility of including calving traits and commercial carcass traits in the genetic evaluation.
