In the final phases of new soybean cultivar development, lines are cultivated in several locations across multiple seasons with the intention of identifying and selecting superior genotypes for quantitative traits. In this context, this study aimed to study the genotype-by-environment interaction for the trait grain yield (kg/ha), and to evaluate the adaptability and stability of early-cycle so...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the phenotypic stability and specific and broad adaptability of common black bean genotypes for the Central and Center-South regions of Brazil by using the Annicchiarico and AMMI (weighted average of absolute scores: WAAS, and weighted average of absolute scores and productivity: WAASP) methodologies. We carried out 69 trials, with 43 and 26 trials in the C...

Multilocation yield trials on late duration (106-125 days) finger millet genotypes were conducted under early and late transplanting at Bhubaneswar and early direct-sown condition at Berhampur for three years 2004-2006, during kharif season. G×E interaction analysis of grain yield in AMMI (Additive Main and Multiplicative Interaction) model showed differential interaction of the genotypes in th...

This retrospective cohort study describes the patterns of antibiotic use for the treatment of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in the Calgary Zone of Alberta Health Services. Timing, appropriateness, and duration of antibiotics were evaluated in two hundred consecutive cases of VAP derived from 4 adult intensive care units (ICU). Antibiotic therapy was initiated in less than 24 hours from ...

For grain yield stability analysis, genotype by environment interactions are crucial in properly identifying and discriminating between varieties locations. Hence, this experiment was conducted with the objectives to evaluate of soybean using additive main effects multiplicative interaction (AMMI), multi-trait index (MTSI), weighted average absolute scores biplot (WAASB), Eberhart Russell regre...

whole part and mother tincture of Ammi majus were chemically analyzed for setting the standards in Homoeopathic system of medicine. Extractive value, Ash value, TLC UV study and the absorbance spectra in the range of 200-500 nm can be taken as parameters to fix standards.

OBJECTIVE To determine the efficacy of extract of Ammi visnaga on volume and acidity of stimulated gastric secretion in rabbits and also its safety on liver and kidney function. STUDY DESIGN Quasi experimental study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Pharmacology Department, Saidu Medical College, Swat, in the years 2008-9. METHODOLOGY Thirty rabbits weighing 1 - 1.5 kg were divided into groups...

The genotype main effects and genotype-by-environment interaction effects (GGE) model and the additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) model are two common models for analysis of genotype-by-environment data. These models are frequently used by agronomists, plant breeders, geneticists and statisticians for analysis of multi-environment trials. In such trials, a set of genotyp...

Oxidation of biomolecules such as carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids results in generation of free radicals in an organism which is the major cause of onset of various degenerative diseases. Antioxidants scavenge these free radicals, thereby protecting the cell from damage. The present study was designed to examine the free radical scavenging potential and oxidative DNA damage p...
