Genotype-by-environment (GEI) analysis guides the recommendation of best-performing crop genotypes and production environments. The objective this study was to determine extent GEI on seed yield in tepary bean for genotype cultivation drought-prone Forty-five genetically diverse were evaluated under non-stressed drought-stressed conditions two seasons using a 9 × 5 alpha lattice design with thr...

Abstract A total of 24 oat genotypes were evaluated across 9 environments using a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. The combined analysis variance indicated that grain yield was significantly affected by genotype, environment, and genotype environment interaction (GEI). environment's main effect explained 44.62% the variation, whereas GEI captured 28.84% 26.54%, respectively...

At a population level APOE4 carriers (~25% Caucasians) are at higher risk of cardiovascular diseases. The penetrance of genotype is however variable and influenced by dietary fat composition, with the APOE4 allele associated with greater LDL-cholesterol elevation in response to saturated fatty acids (SFA). The etiology of this greater responsiveness is unknown. Here a novel surface plasmon reso...

An essential aspect of competing in the world market is quality cocoa bean, which influenced by different factors ranging from genetics to post-harvest processes. The aim this research was determine effect maturity stage (2, 3, and 4), genotype (CCN51, ICS95, TSH565), geographical location (Algeciras Garzón, Colombia) on pH titratable acidity pulp fermentation index bean during days 0, 3 7 ferm...

Abstract The aim of this study was to assess genotype by environment interaction for grain yield, plant height and thousand-grain weight in winter triticale cultivars the additive main effects multiplicative (AMMI) model. comprised ten varieties i.e.: Algoso, Baltiko, Grenado, Magnat, Moderato, Pawo, Todan, Trimester, Trismart Witon. Field trials were performed at seven locations three years (2...

Isothiocyanates (ITCs) are nonnutrient compounds in cruciferous vegetables with anticarcinogenic properties. One proposed mechanism for their protective action is through down-regulation of cytochrome P-450 biotransformation enzyme levels and induction of phase II detoxifying enzymes. Because ITCs also serve as a substrate for GSTs, we evaluated dietary intake of ITCs and GSTM1 and GSTT1 genoty...

The specific catalase activity of human diploid cell strains increases with progressive growth of the culture, and falls again following subculture. Although the increase is small, it is readily demonstrable, and is exponential with time. The response of catalase activity to progressive growth of the culture was studied in three abnormal human cell lines. A diploid cell strain, developed from a...

Cigarette smoking is the main risk factor for bladder cancer, accounting for at least 50% of bladder cancer in men. Cigarette smoke is a rich source of arylamines, which are detoxified by the NAT2 enzyme and activated by the NAT1 enzyme to highly reactive species that can form bulky adducts on DNA. DNA damage from such adducts is mainly repaired by the nucleotide excision repair pathway, in whi...

Identification of the genetic architecture of phenotypic stability and management of adaptational genes is a prerequisite for improvement of adaptation. To locate the genes controlling adaptation, disomic addition lines of agropyron (agropyron elongatum, 2n=2x=14) into the genetic background of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L., 2n=6x=42, cv. ‘Chinese Spring’=CS) were used in a randomized compl...
