under a specific cross-validation scheme are commonly used to evaluate their relative performances. Hadasch et al. compare the predictive abilities of contending models for MAS under several contrasting cross-validation schemes using empirical datasets on two quantitative traits with different heritabilities collected from multienvironment trials. The predictive abilities of models for MAS were...

We used molecular markers associated with seedlessness in grapes, namely SCC8, SCF27 and VMC7f2, to improve the efficiency of seedless grapevine breeding via marker assisted selection (MAS). DNA from 372 F₁ hybrid progeny from the cross between seeded "Alphonse Lavallée" and seedless "Sultani" was amplified by PCR using three markers. After digestion of SCC8 marker amplification products by res...

With the advent of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have become the major type of marker for genotyping in many crops. However, the availability of SNP markers for important traits of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) that can be effectively used in marker-assisted selection (MAS) is still limited and SNP assays for MAS are usually uniplex. ...

Molecular marker assisted selection (MAS) has been touted as a means to improve the efficiency and speed of plant selection programs. The most widespread use of MAS to date is to assist backcrossing of major genes into already proven, elite cultivars. Markers can aid selection for target alleles that are not easily assayed in individual plants, minimize linkage drag around the target gene, and ...

As an upstream activator for inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), Mas has been reported to be upregulated in several cancers. However, its role in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is still unclear. In this study, we performed the immunohistochemistry to detect the expression of Mas and iNOS in 115 cases of NPC and 30 cases of normal nasopharyngeal tissues, and investigated the relationsh...

conclusions cornus mas fruit extract effect may be due to including some antioxidant components, which caused membrane stabilizing and normalization of fluctuated biochemical profiles induced by ccl4 exposure. our results validated the traditional use of cornus mas in the treatment of liver disorders. results oral administration of cornus mas fruits extract to rats for 14 days provided a signif...

BACKGROUND Nowadays attention to use herbs such as cornelian cherry (Cornus mas) is increasing, which contains high levels of antioxidants and anthocyanins. Cornus mas fruits have been used for gastrointestinal and excretory disorders for many years in traditional medicine, also may improve liver and kidney functions, and have protective effects such as anti-allergic, antidiabetic, antibacteria...
