POPULATION STRUCTURE, GENETIC VARIATION AND LINKAGE DISEQUILIBRIUM IN PERENNIAL RYEGRASS POPULATIONS DIVERGENTLY SELECTED FOR FREEZING TOLERANCE

Population structure, genetic variation and linkage disequilibrium in perennial ryegrass populations divergently selected for freezing tolerance

Low temperature is one of the abiotic stresses seriously affecting the growth of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.Understanding the genetic control of freezing tolerance would aid in the development of cultivars of perennial ryegrass with improved adaptation to frost.A total number of 80 individuals (24 of High frost [HF]; 29 of Low frost [LF]

Growth, physicochemical properties, and morphogenesis of Chinese wild-type PRV Fa and its gene-deleted mutant strain PRV SA215

Abstract Background PRV Fa is grandpas best common in China and causes most of the pseudorabies in the pig industry.A PRV SA215 strain with deleted gE, gI, and TK genes was constructed to develop a commercial attenuated live vaccine.However, the physicochemical properties, growth pattern, penetration kinetics, and morphogenesis of the PRV SA215 and

Reduction in DALYs lost due to soil-transmitted helminthiases and schistosomiasis from 2000 to 2019 is parallel to the increase in coverage of the global control programmes.

Preventive chemotherapy interventions for the control of soil-transmitted helminthiases (STH) and schistosomiasis scaled up from a global coverage level of around 5% in the year 2000 to a coverage that surpassed 60% in the year 2019.The present read more paper analyses the concomitant reduction in the number of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs
