Seedling vigor and regrowth ability are important traits for the forage production of winter wheat. The objectives this study were to map quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with seedling using a genome-wide association mapping (GWAS). evaluated shoot length, number shoots per plant dry weight 45 days after planting 15 cutting. A large phenotypic variation was observed all studied. In tota...

Decision making requires an actor to not only steer behavior towards specific goals, but also determine the optimal vigor of performance. Current research and models have largely focused on the former problem of how actions are directed, while overlooking the latter problem of how they are energized. Here, we designed a self-paced decision-making paradigm that showed that rats' performance vigo...

In their classic study of the enzymes involved in the mobilization of stored carbohydrate reserves in barley, Brown and Morris (3), in 1890, noted that the excised barley embryo formed a large quantity of starch when floated on water for a few hours. More recently investigators (2, 4, 5) working with excised barley embryos appear to have ignored or neglected this important biochemical transform...
