Major psychiatric disorders, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism (AUT), bipolar disorder (BD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and schizophrenia (SZ), are highly heritable and polygenic. Evidence suggests that these five disorders have both shared and distinct genetic risks and neural connectivity abnormalities. To measure aggregate genetic risks, the polygenic ri...

Worldwide, plant growth regulators (PGRs) account for only 3% to 4% of the total sales of plant protection agents. This limited market potential, the rising costs of development and registration, and the demand for high profitability have created major constraints to the introduction of new PGRs. Conversely, PGRs have become an integral part of agricultural and horticultural practices and one m...

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are a common and widely used practice in cotton production for controlling plant growth, increasing yield, and improving management efficiency. Most of the PGRs used have an effect on plant growth, both vegetative and reproductive, and dry matter partitioning. However, there have been no reports of effects of PGRs on radiation use efficiency (RUE). It is logical t...

Chromium is one of the most toxic heavy metals which reduces the growth of plants at relatively low concentrations, whereas IAA, kinetin, GA3 and 24-epibrassinolide (24-epiBr) are well known plant growth regulators (PGRs) which enhance the growth of plants. The present study was undertaken to determine the effect of binary combinations of Cr(VI) and PGRs on Spirodela polyrrhiza (L.) Schleiden, ...

OBJECTIVES Bipolar disorder (BD) is a highly heritable disorder with polygenic inheritance. Among the most consistent findings from functional magnetic imaging (fMRI) studies are limbic hyperactivation and dorsal hypoactivation. However, the relation between reported brain functional abnormalities and underlying genetic risk remains elusive. This is the first cross-sectional study applying a wh...

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are exogenously applied chemicals that alter plant metabolism, cell division, cell enlargement, growth and development by regulating plant hormones or other biological signals. For example, some PGRs regulate stem elongation by inhibiting biosynthesis of gibberellins or through releasing ethylene. PGR effects are widely studied and reported on barley (Hordeum vulg...

The cotton plant is a perennial with an indeterminate growth habit, and reputed to have the most complex growth habit of all major row crops. Furthermore, it is very responsive to management and changes in the environments and responds to any perturbations in its environment with a dynamic growth response that is often unpredictable. Cotton producers and researchers have, therefore, used plant ...

OBJECTIVE To examine associations between aggregate genetic risk and Alzheimer disease (AD) markers in stages preceding the clinical symptoms of dementia using data from 2 large observational cohort studies. METHODS We computed polygenic risk scores (PGRS) using summary statistics from the International Genomics of Alzheimer's Project genome-wide association study of AD. Associations between ...

• j ermudagrass is a popular turfgrass used on athletic fields • due to its aggressive summer growth habit, fine leaf texhue, and dark green color. However, if mowed infre• quently, excessive scalping and dipping production combine to decrease its aesthetic quality. Plant growth fl:'gulalors (PGRs) were introduced into the turf industry in the 1950's and since have been used in part to reduce m...
