Lentil grains with high nutritional value qualify as a promising candidate for alleviation of micronutrient malnutrition in South Asia and North Africa. Genetic variation concentration germplasm is prerequisite biofortification this crop. In the present study, ninety-six lentil genotypes consisting Indian (released varieties, advanced breeding lines lines) Mediterranean (germplasm landraces) we...

El manejo activo de los pastos incide en la productividad animal y procesos biogeoquímicos del suelo, el ciclaje nutriente, donde gestión es un factor relevante para mantener estos biogeoquímicos, flujo emisiones gases efecto invernadero (GEI). objetivo principal presente estudio fue evaluar las GEI provenientes tres tipos fertilizantes (convencional, urea+inhibidor biofertilizante) empleados m...

Unpredictable rainfall in the tropics often increases risk of waterlogging or even flooding agricultural lands, hindering efforts to fulfill maize demands. Breeding for tolerance is necessary yet challenging since performing varietal testing on a set hybrids might be biased toward presence genotype and environment interaction (GEI). This study aimed elucidate GEI effects yield related agronomic...

The choice and recommendation of a variety for commercial cultivation are influenced by genotype x environment interaction (GEI)). complication (GEI) is that usually involves layout trials in various seasons, making it difficult to identify the adapted different environments. Twenty sugarcane clones four standard checks were evaluated under three environments within tropical climate. Additive Ma...

[Introducción]: En Costa Rica la principal fuente de emisiones gases efecto invernadero (GEI) en el ámbito nacional es sector energía, donde predomina transporte. Es esperar que estas se concentren las actividades desarrollan los centros urbanos. [Objetivo]: Determinar principales sectores y fuentes GEI nivel local e identificar lecciones oportunidades para promover estrategias hacia un desarro...

A user-friendly graphical data analysis to perform stability analysis of genotype x environmental interactions, using Tai's stability model and additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) biplots, are presented here. This practical approach integrates statistical and graphical analysis tools available in SAS systems and provides user-friendly applications to perform complete sta...

Phenotypic traits that convey information about individual identity or quality are important in animal social interactions, and the degree to which such traits are influenced by environmental variation can have profound effects on the reliability of these cues. Using inbred genetic lines of the decorated cricket, Gryllodes sigillatus, we manipulated diet quality to test how the cuticular hydroc...

Developing high yielding and stable genotypes for wide and specific adaptation is important in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production. The objective of this study was to exploit the gains from genotype by environment interaction for increased bread wheat production in eastern Africa. Thirty-three advanced bread wheat lines, along with two check varieties (Danda’a and Hidasse) were evaluated at...

In several studies of natural populations of birds, the heritability of body size estimated by parent-offspring regression has been lower when offspring have developed in poor feeding regimens than when they developed in good feeding regimens. This has led to the suggestion that adaptation under poor regimens may be constrained by lack of genetic variation. We examined the influence of environm...
