The production and cultivation of hybrid wheat is a possible strategy to close the yield gap in wheat. Efficient hybrid wheat seed production largely depends on high rates of cross-pollination which can be ensured through high anther extrusion (AE) by male parental lines. Here, we report the AE capacity and elucidate its genetics in 514 elite European winter wheat varieties via genome-wide asso...

Treatment with an angiotensin blocker (ARB) and an aldosterone blocker has been shown to have beneficial effects on cardiac remodeling in several cardiac diseases. It is still not clear whether the combination of these drugs is more effective against cardiac remodeling than the use of either agent alone. We examined the effects of combined treatment with valsartan, an ARB, and spironolactone, a...

A new branch of Hough Transform algorithms, called probabilistic Hough Transforms, has been actively developed in recent years. One of the rst was a new and eecient probabilistic version of the Hough Transform for curve detection, the Randomized Hough Transform (RHT). The RHT picks n pixels from an edge image by random sampling to solve n parameters of a curve and then accumulates only one cell...

The unprecedented wheat yield increases during the Green Revolution were achieved through introduction of Reduced height (Rht)-B1b and Rht-D1b semi-dwarfing alleles. These Rht-1 alleles encode growth-repressing DELLA genes containing a stop codon within their open reading frame that confers gibberellin (GA)-insensitive semi-dwarfism. In this study, we successfully took hurdle detecting wild-typ...

The effects of dwarfing alleles (reduced height, Rht) in near isogenic lines on wheat grain quality are characterised in field experiments and related to effects on crop height, grain yield and GA-sensitivity. Alleles included those that conferred GA-insensitivity (Rht-B1b, Rht-B1c, Rht-D1b, Rht-D1c) as well as those that retained GA-sensitivity (rht(tall), Rht8, Rht8 + Ppd-D1a, Rht12). Full ch...

It is accepted that there is an interaction between dwarfing genes and the overall size of a plant because of the gene’s interaction with gibberellic acid pathways. The main objective of this project was to determine the effect of four stem dwarfing genes (Rht1, Rht2, Rht3 and rht) on components of the root system in near-isogenic lines of Maringa and Nainari 60. The working hypothesis was that...

rivastigmine hydrogen tartrate (rht), one of the potential cholinesterase inhibitors, has received great attention as a new drug candidate for the treatment of alzheimer's disease. however, the bioavailability of rht from the conventional pharmaceutical forms is low because of the presence of the blood brain barrier. the main aim of the present study was to prepare positively charged eudragit r...

Objective A clinical trial (REQUIRE) was started to investigate the use of an ultrasound renal denervation system in the treatment of resistant hypertension (RHT). We analyzed the prevalence of patients who were eligible for inclusion in this cross-sectional study at the time of screening. Methods Nine-hundred ninety-nine consecutive hypertension (HT) patients who were treated in our hospital a...

This study aims to extract automatically building roof planes from airborne LIDAR data applying an extended 3D Randomized Hough Transform (RHT). The proposed methodology consists of three main steps, namely detection of building points, plane detection and refinement. For the detection of the building points, the vegetative areas are first segmented from the scene content and the bare earth is ...

Abstract Reduced height ( Rht ) genes are widely used in modern wheat breeding although some confer higher susceptibility to Fusarium head blight (FHB) caused by F. graminearum and other species. Our objective was test whether the recently identified Rht24b dwarfing allele has a neutral effect on FHB response as reported previously from single mapping population when unrelated winter cultivars ...
