Nine cycles of recurrent phenotypic selection for high groat-oil content were conducted in a genetifor groat-oil content is no...

The objective of the study was to evidence efficient management strategies in order maximize organic cultivation system promotes a new dynamic behavior white oat genotypes, where it is necessary genotypes with superior performance. aimed highlight productive performance and genetic diversity an system. experiment carried out municipality Augusto Pestana - RS, 2021 crop year. experimental design...

Seeds have well-established passive physical and chemical defense mechanisms that protect their food reserves from decay-inducing organisms and herbivores. However, there are few studies evaluating potential biochemical defenses of dormant seeds against pathogens. Caryopsis decay by the pathogenic Fusarium avenaceum strain F.a.1 was relatively rapid in wild oat (Avena fatua L.) isoline "M73," w...

Cereal Chem. 86(2):239–246 Test weight and groat proportion are two very important quality characteristics of oat grain. In this study, we pose the hypothesis that these two characteristics are related through characteristics of grain density. Test weight is defined as the product of kernel density and packing proportion. Groat proportion, in theory, is the ratio of the groat mass to the kernel...

The study aims to quantify the effects of environmental variables on interaction between genotypes x environments and evaluate sensitivity white oat grain yield in 10 years cultivation. experiment took place municipality Augusto Pestana – RS. experimental design used was randomized blocks, being evaluated 26 20 complex environments. Greater phenotypic stability observed for URS 21 genotype, by ...

BACKGROUND Three typical folate metabolism enzymes-i.e. methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), methionine synthase (MS) and MS reductase (MTRR) in the folate cycle-play a critical role in DNA synthesis and methylation reactions. We evaluated whether polymorphisms of these three enzymes are associated with non-obstructive male infertility. METHOD Three hundred and sixty patients with non...
