The AMMI and SREG GGE   are among the models that effectively capture the additive and multiplicative components of genotype × environment interaction (GEI) and provide meaningful interpretation of multi-environment trials’ data set in the breeding programs. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of GEI on grain yield of barely advanced lines and exploit the positive GEI effect us...

The objectives of this study were to assess the genotype (G) by environment (E) interaction of grain yield of durum wheat(Triticum durum Desf.) based on parametric models, additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) and joint linear regression models; and compare the relative efficiency of the two models in explaining the GE effects. Twenty-three genotypes were evaluated across ...

Herpes simplex virus type 1 encodes two glycoproteins, gE and gI, that form a heterodimer on the surface of virions and infected cells. The gE-gI heterodimer has been implicated in cell-to-cell spread of virus and is a receptor for the Fc fragment of IgG. Previous studies localized the gE-gI-binding site on human IgG to a region near the interface between the C(H)2 and C(H)3 domains of Fc, whic...

Structural characterization by scanning tunneling microscopy and alkali low-energy ion scattering spectroscopy of Pt~100! surfaces covered by less than 0.5-ML Ge is reported. Despite bulk solubility of Ge in Pt, it was found that Ge remains on top of the Pt~100! surface as adatoms even after annealing to 1200 K. Furthermore, Pt adatoms produced by lifting of the Pt~100!-hex reconstruction in th...
