Background: The onset of menarche is influenced by various factors, including genetic, morphological and socioeconomic factors. Objectives: study aimed to examine the differences in adiposity levels fat distribution between early, average, late maturing girls from Kolkata, India. Sample Methods: 936 Bengali included a cross-sectional were categorized as average or maturing. examination was scho...

In order to explore the optimal cultivar × sowing date plant density for summer maize (Zea mays L.) in Northern Huang–Huai–Hai (HHH) Plain of China, field experiments were conducted over two consecutive years (2018–2019) on a loam soil HHH Plain. A split–split plot design was employed this study, and main plots included three cultivars (HM1: early-maturing cultivar; ZD958: medium-maturing DH605...

Abstract In Tunisia, lentil ( Lens culinaris subsp. Medik.) is cultivated in arid and semi-arid areas. Terminal drought heat stresses during the end of cycle causes significant yield losses. Selection short varieties could be best option to escape effect pre cited abiotic factors. ‘krib’ was developed using both modified pedigree bulk methods by INRAT collaboration with ICARDA. It’s a selection...

Maize (Zea mays L.) breeders in the West and Central Africa have developed commercialized extra-early early-maturing maize hybrids, which combine high yield potentials with tolerance/resistance to drought, low soil-N Striga infestation. Hybrids of both maturity groups not been investigated for tolerance plant density N application are new farmers; th...

byproducts may be available for incorporation into animal feeds (Whiteman and Norton, 1981). Pigeonpea Forage-based livestock production is a significant component of biomass and grain have been used as animal feed for the agricultural economy throughout the southern U.S. Great Plains. However, Livestock production in grazing systems is limited by low centuries by Indian farmers (Whyte et al.,1...

The age-related decline in physical activity during adolescence is well documented; however, little is known about differences in physical activity among early, average, and late maturing adolescents. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between maturity status and physical activity among 167 adolescents who were 13-14 years old. The maturity offset was derived and biologic...

OBJECTIVE To determine how early puberty and peer deviance relate to trajectories of aggressive and delinquent behavior in early adolescence and whether these relationships differ by race/ethnicity. METHODS In this longitudinal study, 2607 girls from 3 metropolitan areas and their parents were interviewed at ages 11, 13, and 16 years. Girls reported on their age of onset of menarche, best fri...

Abstract We analyzed the yield data of 2,070 rice hybrid F 1 genotypes with inbred local cultivars (ILCv) evaluated over 32 yr (from 1988 to 2019) in 2,376 multi‐environment experiments executed at 102 locations irrigated ecosystem across India. The genetic gain or loss estimated test duration was nonsignificant. differences were highly significant between means group yields higher than ILCvs 9...
