GENETIC DIVERSITY AND POPULATION STRUCTURE OF PISUM SATIVUM ACCESSIONS FOR MARKER-TRAIT ASSOCIATION OF LIPID CONTENT

Genetic diversity and population structure of Pisum sativum accessions for marker-trait association of lipid content

Field pea (Pisum sativum L.) is an important protein-rich pulse crop produced globally.Increasing the lipid content of Pisum seeds through Apparel conventional and contemporary molecular breeding tools may bring added value to the crop.However, knowledge about genetic diversity and lipid content in field pea is limited.An understanding of genetic d

Odorant binding protein 18 increases the pathogen resistance of the imported willow leaf beetle, Plagiodera versicolora

BackgroundInsect odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are a class of small molecular weight soluble proteins.In the past few years, OBPs had been found to work as carriers of ligands and play a crucial role in olfaction and various other physiological processes, like immunity.A subset of insect OBPs had been found to be expressed differently and play a

Content validation of an activity-based therapy tracking tool in a community setting for people living with spinal cord injury or disease using cognitive debriefing interviews.

BackgroundActivity-based therapy (ABT) has shown promise as a viable therapeutic intervention to promote neurorecovery in people with spinal cord injury/disease (SCI/D).Tools that track the details of ABT sessions may facilitate the collection of data needed to inform best practice guidelines for ABT.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to evalua
