Unraveling the genetic basis of hybrid vigor [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2006
The study of hybrid vigor and inbreeding depression traces back to Charles Darwin, who was the first scientist to examine the phenomenon in a systematic manner (1). Hybrid vigor, or heterosis, is the increase in stature, biomass, and fertility that characterizes the progeny of crosses between diverse parents such that the F1 is superior to the better ...

Microbial exopolysaccharide production by polyextremophiles in the adaptation to multiple extremes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Polyextremophiles are microorganisms that endure multiple extreme conditions by various adaptation strategies that also include the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs). This review provides an integrated perspective on EPS biosynthesis, function, and regulation in these organisms, emphasizing their critical role in survival and highlighting their ...

EFFECT OF CROSSES ON TRAIT EARS OF MAIZE SUB-SPECIES CROSSES [PDF]

Scientific Papers Series : Management, Economic Engineering in Agriculture and Rural Development, 2013
To investigate the effect of crosses in maize ears, five genotypes were hybridized .one genotype of each of (Z. mays L.)Sub-species (Everta, indurate, Indentata, Saccharata and the Wight endosperm Denprofeski) were intercrossed.F1 and F2 kernels and F1 ...

Are architectural traits at florewing stage relevant to account for yield advantage in hybrid rice? [PDF]

, 2006
Yield advantage of hybrid rice over conventional inbred rice in tropical favorable environments, up to 15%, is commonly and simply attributed to higher biomass production due to higher seedling vigor and higher harvest index.

Mechanistic basis for inhibition of the extended‐spectrum β‐lactamase GES‐1 by enmetazobactam and tazobactam

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is of huge importance, resulting in over 1 million deaths each year. Here, we describe how a new drug, enmetazobactam, designed to help fight resistant bacterial diseases, inhibits a key enzyme (GES‐1) responsible for AMR. Our data show it is a more potent inhibitor than the related tazobactam, with high‐level computation

Hemp Growth in Vitro and in Vivo: A Comparison of Growing Media and Growing Environments across 10 Accessions

HortScience, 2022
Micropropagation is a valuable production tool for the cultivation of hemp (Cannabis sativa), and development of optimal protocols is ongoing. The goal of this study was to evaluate a novel growing medium combination, consisting of Driver and Kuniyuki ...

Genomic signatures of somatic hybrid vigor due to heterokaryosis in the oomycete pathogen, Bremia lactucae

bioRxiv, 2019
Lettuce downy mildew caused by Bremia lactucae is the most important disease of lettuce globally. This oomycete pathogen is highly variable and has rapidly overcome resistance genes and fungicides deployed in attempts to control it.

Seed filling under different temperatures improves the seed vigor of hybrid rice (Oryza sativa L.) via starch accumulation and structure

Scientific Reports, 2020
Seed filling is crucial for seed vigor and starch accumulation and structure. Differences in hybrid rice seed vigor were evaluated in field experiments, conducted across two sites in 2017 and 2018, under different seed filling temperatures along with the

Dose‐dependent induction of epithelial‐mesenchymal transition in 3D melanoma models by non‐thermal plasma treatment

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Non‐thermal plasma treatment of melanoma cells induced epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) in a dose‐dependent fashion. This report highlights the critical need to further investigate potential adverse effects of non‐thermal plasma for cancer therapy and to optimize treatment parameters for clinical translation. Despite the promising results of non‐

Vigor of hybrid corn seeds is determinant for the establishment of seedlings in the field

Revista de Ciências Agroveterinárias
The objective of this work was to determine the importance of vigor during the initial establishment of the maize crop. The work was carried out using 8 lots of hybrid corn seed, in which four lots were characterized as high vigor and four lots ...
