Recently it has been suggested that rearing conditions during preadolescence in one generation may affect health outcomes in subsequent generations. Such parental effects, potentially induced by epigenetic modifications in the germ line, have attracted considerable attention because of their implications for public health and social policies. Yet, to date, evidence in humans has been rare due t...

A two-year experiment was carried out to study the effects of pollinator line characteristicson the quantity and quality of monogerm hybrid seed production in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.)and select proper pollinator for five promising sugar beet cytoplasmic male sterile lines (CMSs)during 2012-2013 growing seasons. In this study, four diploid pollinator lines were crossed byfive CMSs of sugar ...

In June 2022 the author, a conservator-restorer of cultural heritage based in Canada, travelled to region Puno for professional visit develop expertise conservation at-risk heritage.

Introduction Conflict often leads to nonequilibrium fluctuations as attackers spread, host defences increase, and counter-attack evolves. Spatial processes play a crucial role when attack types arrive from other populations and import of matching defence follows. We focus on cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS), an ideal system in which to study the spatial dynamics of conflict. Cytoplasmically inh...

The paradise fish, a small insectivore, coinhabits marshes of Southeast Asia with several predator fish species. Its ability to recognize and avoid harmful fish may depend upon both genetic factors and experience. Here we demonstrate genetic variability between the 20-day-old larvae of two inbred strains of paradise fish (P and S) in predator exploration and avoidance, using predator models. We...

Population divergence in antipredator defence and behaviour occurs rapidly and repeatedly. Genetic differences, phenotypic plasticity or parental effects may all contribute to divergence, but the relative importance of each of these mechanisms remains unknown. We exposed juveniles to parents and predators to measure how induced changes contribute to shoaling behaviour differences between two th...

Abstract Background Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is a trait associated with non-functional pollen or anthers, caused by the interaction between mitochondrial and nuclear genes. Findings A Tadukan-type CMS line (TAA) restorer (TAR) were obtained successive backcrossing Oryza sativa cultivars Tadukan (a cytoplasmic donor) Taichung 65 recurrent parent). Using Illumina HiSeq, we determined whol...

The present study suggests that series voltage injection is more effective than parallel current to improve quality on the load side. line can be accurately symmetrized at connection point by creating and controlling a component in each phase. This reliable injection. A dynamic restorer (DVR) distribution static synchronous compensator (DSTATCOM) were utilized provide required power. DVR an mod...
