Variation for Grain Micronutrients Concentration in Wheat Core-collection Accessions of Diverse Origin

AbstractImproving essential nutrient content in staple food crops through biofortification breeding can overcome the micronutrient malnutrition problem. Genetic improvement depends on the availability of genetic variability in the primary gene pool. This study was aimed to ascertain the magnitude of variability in a core germplasm collection of diverse origin and predict pearl millet biofortification prospects for essential micronutrients. Germplasm accessions were evaluated in field trials at ICRISAT, India. The accessions differed significantly for all micronutrients with over two-fold variation for Fe (34–90 mg kg−1), Zn (30–74 mg kg−1), and Ca (85–249 mg kg−1). High estimates of heritability (> 0.81) were observed for Fe, Zn, Ca, P, Mo, and Mg. The lower magnitude of genotype (G) × environment (E) interaction observed for most of the traits implies strong genetic control for grain nutrients. The top-10 accessions for each nutrient and 15 accessions, from five countries for multiple nutrients were identified. For Fe and Zn, 39 accessions, including 15 with multiple nutrients, exceeded the Indian cultivars and 17 of them exceeded the biofortification breeding target for Fe (72 mg kg−1). These 39 accessions were grouped into 5 clusters. Most of these nutrients were positively and significantly associated among themselves and with days to 50% flowering and 1000-grain weight (TGW) indicating the possibility of their simultaneous improvement in superior agronomic background. The identified core collection accessions rich in specific and multiple-nutrients would be useful as the key genetic resources for developing biofortified and agronomically superior cultivars.

Introduction : Le syndrome d’apnées obstructives du sommeil (SAOS) est une affection très répandue et insuffisamment diagnostiquée, ce qui en fait un problème majeur de santé publique et de sécurité. La rééducation myofonctionnelle orofaciale (RMO) a été montrée efficace dans le traitement multidisciplinaire des SAOS de l’enfant, de l’adolescent et de l’adulte et elle est prescrite à plusieurs étapes de ces prises en charge. Objectifs : L’objectif principal de cette revue systématique de la littérature était d’évaluer l’efficacité de la rééducation myofonctionnelle orofaciale (RMO), active ou passive, dans le traitement du syndrome d’apnées obstructives du sommeil chez les enfants, les adolescents et les adultes. Matériel et méthodes : La revue systématique de la littérature fut entreprise à partir des trois bases de données électroniques : Medline (via PubMed),Cochrane Library, Web of Science Core Collection, et complétée par une recherche limitée de la littérature grise (Google Scholar) afin d’identifier les études évaluant l’efficacité de la RMO sur le SAOS. Le critère de jugement principal était une diminution de l’indice d’apnées/hypopnées (IHA) d’au moins cinq épisodes par heure par rapport à l’état initial. Les critères de jugement secondaires étaient une amélioration de la qualité subjective du sommeil, de la qualité du sommeil mesurée par polysomnographie nocturne et de la qualité de vie mesurée subjectivement. Résultats : Seulement dix études répondaient à tous les critères d’inclusion. Huit étaient des essais cliniques contrôlés randomisés, une était une étude de cohorte prospective et une autre était une étude de cohorte rétrospective. Six études étaient consacrées au SAOS de l’adulte et quatre au SAOS pédiatrique. Toutes les études incluses ont été évaluées à « faible risque de biais » d’après les douze critères de risque de biais du Cochrane Back Review Group. D’après les données probantes disponibles, la RMO permet une réduction significative de l’IAH, jusqu’à 90,6 % chez l’enfant et jusqu’à 92,06 % chez l’adulte. Elle permet une diminution significative de l’intensité et de la fréquence du ronflement, participe à une réduction de la somnolence diurne, limite la réapparition des symptômes d’apnée obstructive du sommeil (AOS) après adénoamygdalectomie chez l’enfant et améliore l’adhésion au traitement par ventilation en pression positive continue (PPC). La RMO passive, avec l’assistance apportée au patient par le port d’une orthèse sur mesure à bille, augmente l’observance à la rééducation, permet une réduction significative de l’intensité du ronflement, de l’IAH et un accroissement significatif des voies aérifères supérieures. Conclusions : Les données publiées montrent que la rééducation myofonctionnelle orofaciale est efficace dans les traitements multidisciplinaires des SAOS de l’enfant, de l’adolescent et de l’adulte et devrait être largement prescrite à plusieurs étapes de ces prises en charge. La RMO passive, avec l’orthèse d’avancée mandibulaire à bille conçue par Michèle Hervy-Auboiron, aide à pallier les fréquents défauts d’observance observés lors des traitements par RMO active.

Diverse Origin

Despite the weaknesses of domestic fascist movements, in the context of the rise of Nazi Germany and the presence of antisemitic propaganda of diverse origin Edinburgh's Jewish leaders took the threat seriously. Their response to the fascist threat was influenced by the fact that Edinburgh's Jewish community was a small, integrated, and middle-class population, without links to leftist groups or trade unions. The Edinburgh community closely followed the approach of the Board of Deputies of British Jews in relation to the development of fascism in Britain, the most significant aspect of which was a counter-propaganda initiative. Another important aspect of the response in Edinburgh was the deliberate cultivation of closer ties to the Christian churches and other elite spheres of Scottish society. Despite some unique elements, none of the responses of Edinburgh Jewry, or indeed the Board of Deputies, were particularly novel, and all borrowed heavily from established traditions of post-emancipation Jewish defensive strategies.

Diverse Origin

Bioactive peptides are short chain of amino acids (usually 2-20) that are linked by amide bond in a specific sequence which have some biological effects in animals or humans. These can be of diverse origin like plant, animal, fish, microbe, marine organism or even synthetic. They are successfully used in the management of many diseases. In recent years increased attention has been raised for its effects and mechanism of action in various disease conditions like cancer, immunity, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, inflammation, diabetes, microbial infections etc. Bioactive peptides are more bioavailable and less allergenic when compared to total proteins. Food derived bioactive peptides have health benefits and its demand has increased tremendously over the past decade. This review gives a view on last two years research on potential bioactive peptides derived from food which have significant therapeutic effects.

Governance Models

Cruise activities, until 2020, have presented a significant increase in revenue, as well as number of cruises and passengers transported, and it has become a challenge for ports to respond to this demand for services. In response to this, the world’s ports have implemented different governance models. In this context, in this paper, we aim to review the different governance models, as well as port cooperation, competition, and stakeholders. For this purpose, using science metric meta-analysis, an article set is extracted that strictly refers to the governance model of two databases integrated into the Core Collection Web of Science, whose selection process is polished with the PRISMA guidelines, establishing the eligibility criteria of studies using PICOS tool, to which a qualitative meta-analysis is applied. A limited studies set is identified, that includes governance model implementations, private strategies and internalization patterns in the port sector and cruise ships, patterns of port cooperation and governance, governance models in cruise ports, structures and strategies, and changes in the cruise market. Finally, various governance model forms are determined, all documented in the scientific research worldwide, discussing the various components of study topics.
