Maize (Zea maysL.), an important staple crop in West and Central Africa (WCA), has enormous potential to reduce food insecurity in this subregion. Research covering three periods or eras of breeding has been conducted to develop cultivars resistant/tolerant to three maize stress factors:Strigaparasitism, drought, and low soil nitrogen. A study was conducted under optimal or natural growing environments at 35 locations in WCA for 2 yr to determine genetic improvement in grain yield of the maize cultivars developed during the three breeding periods: 1988–2000 (period 1), 2001–2006 (period 2), and 2007–2010 (period 3). The average rate of increase in grain yield under optimum growing conditions was 40 kg ha−1yr−1with a genetic gain of 1.3% yr−1, which was slightly higher than the gain of 30 kg ha−1yr−1, an annual genetic gain of 1.2% across 16 stress environments. It was concluded that substantial improvement in the yield potential of early maize under relatively nonstress environmental conditions has been made in this subregion by breeding for stress tolerance during the past three decades. The varieties EV DT‐W 2008 STR, 2009 DTE‐Y STR Syn, and TZE‐W DT C2 STR, all from the latest era of improvement, were identified as the highest yielding and most stable cultivars and should be promoted to contribute to food security in this subregion.
Evaluating Intraplant Cotton Fiber Variability
Authors: Kothari Neha , Dever Jane , Hague Steve , Hequet Eric
Published: February 2015

It is well documented that cotton fiber variability exists across and within cultivars, across environments, soil quality, biotic and abiotic stresses. Having uniform fiber quality is a primary goal for cotton breeders to enhance profitability and sustainability. The objective of this research was to identify the within‐plant variability in fiber quality of six diverse genotypes of Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbasense. This research was conducted in College Station, TX, for 3 yr in 2009, 2010, and 2011 at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research farm. Fiber samples were collected from individual sympodial branches of the plants in three replications and ginned on a tabletop saw gin. Fiber‐quality testing was done using the Advanced Fiber Information System. Statistical analyses inclusive of ANOVA and best linear unbiased predictors and fiber correlations were performed. A distinct pattern of within‐plant fiber variability was observed, with a trend showing that beneficial traits lie in the bottom sympodial fruiting positions while the poor‐quality bolls are located at the higher sympodial positions within the plant. This pattern was seen across all genotypes in all years. Percentage of difference in fiber length among the longest and shortest fibers within the plant showed that ‘FM 832’ had the maximal within‐plant fiber length variability while ‘DP HTO Pima’ had the least within‐plant length variability. Correlation analyses revealed a strong negative relationship between fiber length and standard fineness and a positive relationship between length and fiber maturity. A positive correlation was observed between short fiber content, immature fiber content and fiber neps.

Published: February 2015

Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. and Striga asiatica (L.) Kuntze severely affect maize (Zea mays L.) production in sub‐Saharan Africa. A single Striga plant produces a large number of seeds that form a bank of viable but dormant seed in the soil until they get a chemical signal from suitable maize host roots. Imidazolinone‐resistant (IR) open‐pollinated maize varieties (OPVs) developed for Striga control were tested in diverse environments in four countries of eastern Africa in 2004. The objective of the study was to assess the agronomic performance of IR maize and genotype × environment interactions (GE) for grain yield (GY) and the number of emerged Striga plants across 17 environments under Striga‐infested and Striga‐free conditions. In the combined analysis of variance across Striga‐infested and Striga‐free locations, mean squares for genotypes and GE were significant for most measured traits. The best IR maize variety (STR‐VE‐216) outyielded the Striga‐tolerant and commercial genotypes by 113 and 89%, respectively, under Striga‐infested conditions. IR OPVs supported significantly fewer emerged Striga plants relative to the check varieties. Under Striga‐free conditions, IR OPVs showed GY advantage over commercial varieties. Under Striga‐infested conditions genotypic variance () was larger than genotype × location variance () for GY and number of emerged Striga plants at 12 wk after planting. The genetic correlations among locations under Striga‐infested conditions were high (0.990), suggesting little GE between most environments used. Cluster analysis of genotypes under Striga‐infested locations revealed two major groups that separated the IR OPVs from the check varieties. The outstanding performance of selected IR OPVs indicates that their use for Striga control would reduce the Striga seed bank while benefiting farmers with high GY.
Minimal Loss of Genetic Diversity after Genomewide Selection within Biparental Maize Populations
Authors: Jacobson Amy , Lian Lian , Zhong Shengqiang , Bernardo Rex
Published: February 2015

Concerns have been raised that genomewide selection may hasten the loss of genetic diversity in plant breeding programs. Our objective was to determine if genomewide selection and phenotypic selection lead to different levels of genetic similarity among the selected lines within a biparental population. The best 5, 10, 25, and 50% of F3 lines within each of 27 maize (Zea mays L.) biparental populations were identified by phenotypic selection for testcross performance and by genomewide selection. Without any selection, the mean genetic similarity among lines within a population was 0.52 and the maximum similarity among lines was 0.71. Averaged across the 27 populations, phenotypic selection for grain yield, moisture, and an index of these two traits did not cause a significant increase in genetic similarity among the selected lines. Likewise, genomewide selection of the best 50% of the lines did not lead to a significant increase in genetic similarity. In contrast, genomewide selection of the best 5% of lines significantly increased the mean similarity from 0.52 to 0.57. For comparison, the mean similarity was 0.68 among the 5% most similar lines. The minimal increase in genetic similarity with genomewide selection was attributed to the absence of lines with the perfect or near‐perfect marker profile in the biparental populations. The general level of genetic diversity within the training population had no effect on the genetic similarity among the selected lines. We conclude that genomewide selection causes only a minimal loss of genetic diversity within biparental populations.
Vehicle Radiators’ Performance Calculation and Improvement Based on
the Coupling of Multi-scale Models Simulations
Authors: Shui-Chang Liu , Li-Fu Li , Yong Zhang
Published: February 2015

In simulation of the heat transfer between radiator and air flow field, the adoption of the radiator full-size
model containing its core body structure with small feature sizes would require huge storage space and not be economical.
In view of this question, based on the coupling of multi-scale models simulations, a calculation method of radiator
performance is proposed in this paper the reliability of which is verified by an experiment test. Subsequently, the
influence on the radiators’ thermal performance of the layout of the parts in front of the radiators is analyzed. Lastly, the
layout of the front parts is modified to enhance the radiators’ thermal performance. The investigation results indicate that:
the radiators’ thermal performance calculation method based on simulations coupling of radiator multi-scale models
considers the influences of air-side flow field distribution and the core body structure details; the error of the calculating
values from the method is less than 5%, and the method is reliable; when the heat source parts in front of the radiators are
situated right in front of the rear fan channel, the radiators thermal performance is better; the radiators cooling power
increases 19.3kW after layout modification of the front heat resource parts.

Published: February 2015

The mesoporous graphitic carbon nitride (mpg‐C3N4/r, r was defined as the initial silica/dicyandiamide mass ratio) was successfully synthesized by heating the mixture of silica and dicyandiamide in a nitrogen atmosphere. The morphology and structure of mpg‐C3N4/r were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer‐Emmett‐Teller surface area measurement (BET), X‐ray powder diffraction (XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR). The adsorption performances of Ni (II) ions by mpg‐C3N4/r were investigated. With increasing of r value, the BET specific surface area of the synthesized mpg‐C3N4/r increased; the highest specific surface area of mpg‐C3N4/1.5 increased up to 169.3 m2/g. This work shows that mpg‐C3N4/1.5 is a promising, high‐efficiency adsorbent that can be used to purify the water of a low Ni (II) ions concentration. The maximum adsorption capacity of Ni(II) ions by mpg‐C3N4/1.5 was 15.26 mg/g. The adsorption properties of Ni (II) ions by mpg‐C3N4/r complied well with pseudo‐second‐order kinetics and Langmuir isotherm model.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate effects of various doses of polyethylene glycol (PEG)–conjugated bovine granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (bG-CSF) on the incidence of naturally occurring clinical mastitis in periparturient dairy cattle.

ANIMALS 211 periparturient Holstein cows and heifers.

PROCEDURES Approximately 7 days before the anticipated date of parturition (day of parturition = day 0), healthy cattle received SC injections of sterile saline (0.9% NaCl) solution (control treatment) or PEG–bG-CSF at 5, 10, or 20 μg/kg. Cattle were commingled and housed in a pen with dirt flooring, which was kept wet to maximize the incidence of naturally occurring clinical mastitis. Within 24 hours after parturition, each animal again received the assigned treatment. Mammary glands and milk were visually scored for abnormalities twice daily for 28 days after parturition. Milk samples were aseptically collected from mammary glands with an abnormal appearance or abnormal milk and submitted for microbial culture. Daily milk production was recorded, and milk composition was assessed on days 3, 5, 7, and 10.

RESULTS Cattle treated with PEG–bG-CSF at 10 and 20 μg/kg had significantly fewer cases of clinical mastitis (9/54 and 5/53, respectively), compared with control cattle (18/53). Administration of PEG –bG-CSF did not significantly affect daily milk production or milk composition.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results suggested that PEG–bG-CSF was effective for reducing the incidence of naturally occurring clinical mastitis in periparturient dairy cattle. Further investigations of the use of PEG–bG–CSF as a potential preventative intervention should be conducted.
