The objective of the present study was to analyse fruit yield and lipid phenolic composition seeds from edible halophyte Crithmum maritimum growing in different types soil with variable physicochemical properties. Seed oil content ranged between 8.39–11.66 % showed high nutritional value, (423−603 mg TPC 100 g−1) presented levels quercetin-type compounds pharmaceutical interest. strong conserva...

ABSTRACT In order to produce bulbs or seeds, onion plants depend on genotype X environment interaction. Thus, breeders shall select the genotypes based climatic conditions of each producing region. This study aimed evaluate 17 experimental hybrids and two commercial (‘Bella Dura’ ‘Buccaneer’), agronomic, physicochemical attributes resistance early flowering under subtropical conditions. Joint a...

To understand the effect of heat stress on morphology and physiology cotton, eight cotton genotypes with their 15F1 hybrids (five lines, three testers) were grown in field conditions under randomized complete block design (RCBD) two treatments i.e. normal high-temperature stresses replications followed by split-plot arrangement. Data collected for biochemical yield-related parameters. Mean valu...

The dung beetle, Onthophagus taurus, was introduced <50 years ago from its native Mediterranean range into Western Australia (WA) and the Eastern United States (EUS). The intensity of intra- and interspecific competition for dung as a breeding resource is substantially higher in WA. First, we tested whether differential resource competition in the two exotic ranges is associated with divergence...

The limited number of studies reporting emotional memory impairments in adults with psychopathic traits has not yet been replicated in conduct disordered adolescents with callous unemotional (CU) traits. This study aimed to test the developmental hypothesis that emotional memory will also be impaired in conduct disordered adolescents with CU traits on similar memory tasks. Eighty-four conduct d...

Little is known about the importance of trade-offs between ageing and other life history traits, or the effects of ageing on sexual selection, particularly in wild populations suffering high extrinsic mortality rates. Life history theory suggests that trade-offs between reproduction and somatic maintenance may constrain individuals with higher initial reproductive rates to deteriorate more rapi...

A primary goal of polygenic scores, which aggregate the effects of thousands of trait-associated DNA variants discovered in genome-wide association studies (GWASs), is to estimate individual-specific genetic propensities and predict outcomes. This is typically achieved using a single polygenic score, but here we use a multi-polygenic score (MPS) approach to increase predictive power by exploiti...

Anurans (frogs and toads) are unique among land vertebrates in possessing a free-living larval stage that, parallel to adult frogs, diversified into an impressive range of ecomorphs. The tempo and mode at which tadpole morphology evolved through anuran history as well as its relationship to lineage diversification remain elusive. We used a molecular phylogenetic framework to examine patterns of...

Historical geological events and climatic changes are believed to have played important roles in shaping the current distribution of species. However, sympatric species may have responded in different ways to such climatic fluctuations. Here we compared genetic structures of two corvid species, the Azure-winged Magpie Cyanopica cyanus and the Eurasian Magpie Pica pica, both widespread but with ...
