Genetic Variance Estimates for Maize Yield, Grain Moisture, and Stalk Lodging for Doubled-Haploid and Conventional Selfed-Line Hybrids

Plants, 2020
An experiment was conducted to compare estimated genetic variance for maize doubled haploid (DH) with conventional twice-selfed (S2)-line hybrids. Starting with a 4-parent population, at least 160 lines were derived using both of these methods and ...

Influence of Hydro, Mechanical, and Chemical Treatments to Seed for Germination and Seedling Growth of Saraca asoca (Roxb. De Wilde)

Seeds
It has been noticed that Saraca asoca (Roxb. de Wilde) populations are drastically declining in the wild. Conserving such populations is crucial because of the numerous ecological, cultural, and economic values.

Stimulating Role of Calcium and Cyclic GMP in Mediating the Effect of Magnetopriming for Alleviation of Salt Stress in Soybean Seedlings

Seeds, 2023
This current study examined the role of calcium (Ca) and Cyclic GMP (cGMP) in mitigating the adverse effect of salt stress through magnetopriming of soybean cultivar JS-335 seeds with a static magnetic field (SMF, 200 mT for 1 h).

Assessment of Storage Potential of Onion Varieties Using Variables Extracted from a Mathematical Model 4-Parameter Hill Function (4-PHF)

Seeds, 2023
Onion seeds are prone to rapid germination and viability losses under unfavourable storage conditions. The final germination percentage is considered the most important parameter for determining the performance of seed lots after storage, although other ...

Dendritic cells steering antigen and leukocyte traffic in lymph nodes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Dendritic cells are key players in the activation of T cells and their commitment to effector function. In this In a Nutshell Review, we will discuss how dendritic cells guide the trafficking of antigen and leukocytes in the lymph node, thus influencing T‐cell activation processes. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in initiating and shaping the

The Utilization of Seed Priming as a Tool to Overcome Salt and Drought Stresses: Is Still a Long Way to Go?

Seeds, 2023
Abiotic stresses, sometimes due to dramatic environmental changes, such as sudden and heavy rainfalls, or drought, increasing temperatures or soil salinization, deeply affect the growth and yield of plants.

Making tau amyloid models in vitro: a crucial and underestimated challenge

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review highlights the challenges of producing in vitro amyloid assemblies of the tau protein. We review how accurately the existing protocols mimic tau deposits found in the brain of patients affected with tauopathies. We discuss the important properties that should be considered when forming amyloids and the benchmarks that should be used to ...
