Establishment of germplasm banks of ornamental species, together with breeding programs is fundamental for the growth of competitive cultivars of flowers that are the same or better quality than those developed in other countries. Around 100 progenies from a crossing between the cultivars Dendrobium 'Tong Chai Gold' and Dendrobium 'Black Jack' were obtained, from 50 plants which were selected and grown in pots in greenhouse conditions to evaluate the blooming stage and to select the progenies. Selection of vigorous growing plants and without disease symptoms were made in the period of cultivation. Also, there were evaluated the growing characteristics, rooting, early blooming, as well as the color, number and size of flowers in the first and second blooming. Six progenies with superior characteristics were chosen, from which Dendrobium 'Brazilian Fire 101' was obtained. This cultivar shows fast growth, good rooting, early flowering and high quality flowers, with predominantly yellow color, showing the ribs, the center of flowers and lip with red color. The durability of the flowers was 45-60 days after anthesis.

It is impossible to imagine life without colors. Rango has its own contribution in making life alive. Blue sky, gray earth, colorful fruits, flowers, animals, birds and green trees have faded in light of the progress of science and technology in the beauty of the color combination that God has made in nature. Food is the primary requirement of every living being, it has also been given a variety of colors like red yellow orange, blue purple green, black by nature and has made it more beautiful, approachable and attractive. Yellow color of papaya and mango, watermelon, red color of cherry, green color of spinach gilki or purple color of berries, these not only make food attractive but also relieve stress, depression and pain of human beings and make them mentally healthy. . The color of food items is also indicative of its quality and state of development. If the bright wheat color has changed to brown or gray, then the weather has definitely affected it. Green mango is raw, yellow mango is ripe and brown color indicates its over-ripening or rotting. The colors that nature has given to various food items have nutritious and medical importance as well. रंगो के बिना जीवन की कल्पना असंभव है। जीवन को जीवन्त बनाने में रंगो का अपना योगदान हैैैै। नीला आसमान, धूसर धरती, रंग बिरंगे फल-फूल, पशु पक्षियों व हरे भरे पेडों द्वारा ईश्वर ने प्रकृति मे जो रंग संयोजन किया है इसकी सुंदरता के आगे विज्ञान की प्रगति व तकनीक की चकाचैंध फीकी ही है। भोजन हर प्राणी की प्राथमिक आवश्यकता है इसे भी प्रकृति नें लाल पीले नारंगी, नीले जामुनी हरे, काले जैसे विविध रंगो से नवाजा है और उसे अधिक सुंदर, ग्राहय तथा मनमोहक बनाया है। पपीते व आम का पीला रंग,तरबूज, चेरी का लाल रंग, पालक गिलकी का हरा रंग हो या जामुन का जामुनी रंग ये न केवल भोजन को आकर्षक बल्कि मनुष्य के तनाव, अवसाद व पीड़ा को भी शांत कर उसे मानसिक रूप से स्वस्थ बनाते है। भोज्य पदार्थो का रंग उसकी गुणवत्ता तथा विकास की अवस्था का भी परिचायक होता है। गेहूं का चमकदार गेहूँआ रंग यदि भूरे या स्लेटी मे बदला है तो जरूर उस पर मौसम का कुप्रभाव पडा है। हरा आम कच्चा है पीला आम पका हुआ है व भूरा रंग उसके अधिक पके या सडे होने का संकेत देते है। प्रकृति ने जो रंग विविध भोज्य पदार्थों को दिये है उनका पौष्टिक व चिकित्सकीय महत्व भी है।

There are few varieties of commercial peppers for landscape use, although Capsicum germplasm banks in Brazil have accesses that can be used in breeding programs to create new ornamental peppers. The present study aims evaluate the genetic variability of pepper accesses in relation to their ornamental potential by a selection of indices. A total of 55 peppers accessions were used in the germplasm collection of Mato Grosso State University. The heritability of the studied variables showed that all the variables have high heritability. Fruit length and weight showed the highest heritability values with 99.88% and 99.67%, respectively. The selection based on Summa Rank-Based Index would result in plants with long fruits and peduncles, fruits with higher weight and wider, with leaves and petioles with longer lengths, and a reduction of other characteristics. The Base and the Classical Indexes are significant, as it would result in compact canopy and reduced plants, desired characteristics for ornamental plants. The index based on Summa Rank-Based Index permitted a great gain in pepper selection for ornamental purpose.

Evidence-based assessment relies on research and theory to inform the selection of constructs to be assessed for a specific assessment purpose, the methods and measures to be used in the assessment, and the manner in which the assessment process unfolds. An evidence-based approach to clinical assessment necessitates the recognition that, even when evidence-based instruments are used, the assessment process is a decision-making task in which hypotheses must be iteratively formulated and tested. In this chapter, we review (a) the progress that has been made in developing an evidence-based approach to clinical assessment in the past decade and (b) the many challenges that lie ahead if clinical assessment is to be truly evidence-based.

AbstractPlant quality trait improvement has become a global necessity due to the world overpopulation. In particular, producing crop species with enhanced nutrients and health-promoting compounds is one of the main aims of current breeding programs. However, breeders traditionally focused on characteristics such as yield or pest resistance, while breeding for crop quality, which largely depends on the presence and accumulation of highly valuable metabolites in the plant edible parts, was left out due to the complexity of plant metabolome and the impossibility to properly phenotype it. Recent technical advances in high throughput metabolomic, transcriptomic and genomic platforms have provided efficient approaches to identify new genes and pathways responsible for the extremely diverse plant metabolome. In addition, they allow to establish correlation between genotype and metabolite composition, and to clarify the genetic architecture of complex biochemical pathways, such as the accumulation of secondary metabolites in plants, many of them being highly valuable for the human diet. In this review, we focus on how the combination of metabolomic, transcriptomic and genomic approaches is a useful tool for the selection of crop varieties with improved nutritional value and quality traits.

Abstract Background In breeding programs, the selection of cultivars with the highest yield potential consisted in the selection of the yield per se, which resulted in cultivars with higher grains per spike (GN) and occasionally increased grain weight (GW) (main numerical components of the yield). In this study, quantitative trait loci (QTL) for GW, GN and spike fertility traits related to GN determination were mapped using two doubled haploid (DH) populations (Baguette Premium 11 × BioINTA 2002 and Baguette 19 × BioINTA 2002). Results In total 305 QTL were identified for 14 traits, out of which 12 QTL were identified in more than three environments and explained more than 10% of the phenotypic variation in at least one environment. Eight hotspot regions were detected on chromosomes 1A, 2B, 3A, 5A, 5B, 7A and 7B in which at least two major and stable QTL sheared confidence intervals. QTL on two of these regions (R5A.1 and R5A.2) have previously been described, but the other six regions are novel. Conclusions Based on the pleiotropic analysis within a robust physiological model we conclude that two hotspot genomic regions (R5A.1 and R5A.2) together with the QGW.perg-6B are of high relevance to be used in marker assisted selection in order to improve the spike yield potential. All the QTL identified for the spike related traits are the first step to search for their candidate genes, which will allow their better manipulation in the future.

Lentil is a versatile and profitable pulse crop with high nutritional food and feed values. The objectives of the study were to determine suitable locations for high yield and quality in terms of production and/or breeding, and to identify promising genotypes. For this reason, five lentil genotypes were evaluated in a multi-location network consisting of ten diverse sites for two consecutive growing seasons, for seed yield (SY), other agronomic traits, crude protein (CP), cooking time (CT) and crude protein yield (CPY). A significant diversification and specialization of the locations was identified with regards to SY, CP, CT and CPY. Different locations showed optimal values for each trait. Locations E4 and E3, followed by E10, were “ideal” for SY; locations E1, E3 and E7 were ideal for high CP; and the “ideal” locations for CT were E3 and E5, followed by E2. Therefore, the scope of the cultivation determined the optimum locations for lentil cultivation. The GGE-biplot analysis revealed different discriminating abilities and representativeness among the locations for the identification of the most productive and stable genotypes. Location E3 (Orestiada, Region of Thrace) was recognized as being optimal for lentil breeding, as it was the “ideal” or close to “ideal” for the selection of superior genotypes for SY, CP, CT and CPY. Adaptable genotypes (cv. Dimitra, Samos) showed a high SY along with excellent values for CP, CT and CPY, and are suggested either for cultivation in many regions or to be exploited in breeding programs.
