BACKGROUND The nuclear factor-κB pathway is an important signaling pathway activated in multiple myeloma cells. Bortezomib inhibits nuclear factor-κB activation and is an important antimyeloma agent. Nevertheless, patients treated with this drug eventually relapse. We hypothesized that the nuclear factor-κB pathway may be associated with multiple myeloma and patients' responses to bortezomib. ...

The inconsistence of genotypes across location during plant breeding is the major challenges to breeder. That differential response different environment. Meanwhile stability ability a genotype withstand stressful conditions and yet be able produce yield. Thus, an absolute relative measure. Arabica coffee has specific adaptation nature that leads highly significant instability in its program. I...

Peanut is a crucial source of edible oil and nutrients. Five peanut genotypes' yield quality parameters were assessed to select superior genotypes. The experiment was conducted in Bangladesh Institute Nuclear Agriculture HQ's experimental field, Mymensingh-2202. Correlation study identified significant positive correlation pods plant-1, kernel weight shelling % with pod yield. Considering conte...

Diallel crosses have been used in genetic research to determine the inheritance of important traits among a set of genotypes and to identify superior parents for hybrid or cultivar development. Conventional diallel analysis is limited to partitioning the total variation of the data into general combining ability (GCA) of each genotype and specific combining ability (SCA) of each cross. In this ...

The effects of wild germplasm on tomato fruit shelf life have not yet been completely evaluated. Three different genotypes of Lycopersicon esculentum (a cultivated variety, a homozygote for nor and a homozygote for rin), LA1385 of L. esculentum var. cerasiforme, LA722 of L. pimpinellifolium, and 10 diallel hybrids were assayed. Mean values of fruit shelf life, weight, shape, and mean number of ...

CROP SCIENCE, VOL. 47, MARCH–APRIL 2007 641 ABSTRACT The use of genotype main effect (G) plus genotype-by-environment (GE) interaction (G+GE) biplot analysis by plant breeders and other agricultural researchers has increased dramatically during the past 5 yr for analyzing multi-environment trial (MET) data. Recently, however, its legitimacy was questioned by a proponent of Additive Main Effect ...

A quantitative trait locus (QTL) analysis was conducted on grain appearance in Emi-no-kizuna, a rice cultivar that has superior and stable appearance of the brown rice grain and high tolerance to high temperature stress, by using F3 lines derived from Emi-no-kizuna and Tomohonami. The investigation was performed 2013 and 2015. In summer 2013 the air temperature was higher and the larger differe...

High starch yield is the most important trait for commercialized cassava starch production. Furthermore, cyanide present in cassava roots poses a health challenge in the use of cassava for food. Cassava genotypes have varying maturity periods that are also environmental dependent. This study aimed at identifying suitable cultivars and optimum time of harvest to maximize starch production across...

A good maize plant breeding program must consider the effect of genotype-by-environment interactions (GEIs) and correlation important traits. The purpose this study was to evaluate genetic variation, identify investigate implications GEIs on mutants in order determine ideal genotypes (stable high yield), best intercropping system for mutants, heritability relationships traits tested that are cu...
