the cytoplasmic male sterile (cms) lines that are used in production of hybrid seeds in three-line system often get contaminated with their maintainer lines. using such impure cms lines in rice hybrid seed production lead to un-uniformity and yield loss in hybrid rice. laborious and time consuming phenotypic evaluations are used for elimination of off-type plants in cms multiplication farms. th...

BACKGROUND Fetal macrosomia, defined as a birth weight ≥ 4,000 g, may affect 12% of newborns of normal women and 15-45% of newborns of women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

In GDM, a higher amount of blood glucose passes through the placenta into the fetal circulation. As a result,...
