Hovenia acerba is a precious medicinal and edible tree. We assessed the genetic variation of H. quality traits conducted comprehensive germplasm resource evaluation to provide theoretical basis for breeding edible, medicinal, edible/medicine combination varieties. evaluated 31 resources, including 12 infructescence 8 fruit using correlation, principal component, cluster analyses. The results sh...

iron deficiency in soil reduces the quality of durum wheat leading to fe deficiency in human. thus, this experiment investigated the effects of foliar application of nano-iron oxide (2 and 4 g l-1), iron chelate (edta), (4 and 8 g l-1), iron sulfate (4 and 8 g l-1), and the control on grain yield and quality, yield components, chlorophyll and carotenoids contents, peroxidase (pox), catalase (ca...

The present research aims to study the association and allelic diversity of linked microsatellite markers to grain quality QTLs of 84 exotic rice genotypes. To this end, 9 microsatellite markers (RM540, RM539, RM587, RM527, RM216, RM467, RM3188, RM246, RM5461) were used in which a total of 61 alleles were identified with a mean of 6 alleles per locus. The polymorphism information content (PIC) ...

The effects of nitrogen (N) accumulation and translocation on photosynthesis have been widely reported, while the impacts N accumulation, translocation, simultaneous improvements in grain yield gluten quality dryland wheat still remain unclear. For this reason, relationships between photosynthesis, use efficiency (NUE), related traits yield, quality, 11 representative genotypes 2018–2021 croppi...

Natural variations in milk minerals, their relationships, and associations with the coagulation process cheese-making traits present an opportunity for differentiation of destined high-quality natural products, such as traditional specialties or Protected Designation Origin (PDO) cheeses. The aim this study was to quantify effects native contents Ca, P, Na, K, Mg on 18 describing properties (MC...

It is a challenge to breed maize (Zea mays L.) varieties with enhanced levels of protein, oil, starch, and essential amino acid contents while maintaining competitive agronomic capability. We used multivariate statistical procedures to quantify total diversity and its components for 31 physical, biochemical, nutrient, and color traits of 1348 accessions from 13 maize populations. The germplasm ...

The current study was designed to estimate the pork quality traits using metabolites from exsanguination blood and postmortem muscle simultaneously under the Korean standard pre- and post-slaughter conditions. A total of 111 Yorkshire (pure breed and castrated male) pigs were evaluated under the Korean standard conditions. Measurements were taken of the levels of blood glucose and lactate at ex...
