Authors: Pradhan Adikant , Sao A. , Nag S.K. , Dikshit Nilamani
Published: December 2023

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the staple food for more than half of the
population in the world. In India, it provides food security and nutrition
to more than two-third population and contributes 20-25% in Indian
Agriculture. The state of Chhattisgarh is endowed with rich genetic
diversity in cultivated and wild relatives of rice. Rice farming is
practiced in several agro-ecologies ranging from rainfed upland rice
ecosystem, rainfed lowland rice ecosystem, irrigated rice ecosystem and
flood-prone rice ecosystem. Extensive field surveys and personal interviews
were conducted in Bastar district of Chhattisgarh, India in the months of
September to November during 2017 - 2019 and the rice samples were
collected. During the field survey, a total of 193 varieties varying in seed
characteristics viz. red, dark red, light red and white kernel types were
collected. The grain size of the varieties ranges from slender to bold types
and the grain length varied from long (8.1 to 11.0 mm), medium (5.0 to 8.0
mm) to small (2.5 to 4.0 mm). Red rice is much liked by the tribal people in
the region due to its color and flavor with slow digestibility as it keeps
them energetic for a longer time in the field. Out of the total varieties
collected from the region, 41 varieties were recorded as red kernel type, 36
in brown rice category and five in light brown types. Regression line found
in 2.67 by 2.25 (R2= 0.211) in seed and kernel color comparison.

Authors: Uzun Aydın , Dirim Emine , Yaman Mehmet
Published: December 2023

Apricot is one of the important stone fruits produced in the world. In this
study, genetic variation was investigated based on SRAP marker technique and
morphological data in 120 genotypes and parent plants obtained by inbreeding
in some apricot cultivars such as Ninfa, Proce de Tyrinthe, Palstein,
Hac?halilo?lu, Hasanbey, Aprikoz and Kabaa??. In the study, 15 different
combinations of SRAP markers were used and a total of 105 scoreable bands
were obtained and 76 of them were determined as polymorphic. The average
base lengths of these primers are between 200-1700 bp, the average number of
polymorphic bands per primer is 7.0. The mean polymorphism value is 71.64%.
The similarity coefficient in the dendrogram created according to the UPGMA
method differed between 0.61 and 0.96. According to the dendrogram, 2 main
groups were formed. The closest genotypes have a similarity index of 0.96.
In the morphological characterization analysis, 120 hybrid individuals were
examined with 19 UPOV criteria. No variation was found in terms of petiole
nectarium number, dominant numbers and petiole shape characteristics.
Variations between hybrids were determined in terms of 16 characteristics
such as plant development, plant habitus, amount of branching in the tree,
leaf and shoot characteristics. 119 hybrids showed ?reddish brown?
coloration, 87 hybrids medium leaf tip, and 116 plants 'double dentate' in
terms of incisions of margin. 84 hybrids showed medium petiole incision, 101
hybrids showed medium petiole thickness, and 117 plants showed weak petiole
anthocyanin coloration. It is predicted that the morphological and molecular
analyzes of the hybrid plants will enable the development of new cultivars
and rootstock candidate genotypes. With the results of this study, the
genetic variations and morphological classifications determined in the
genotypes will guide the further studies on hybrid breeding programs in
apricots.

Published: December 2023

Five direct and reciprocal early hybrids, five direct and reciprocal late
hybrids and a total of their 12 parental inbred lines were used in order to
test reciprocal effects among hybrids in early germination phase and seed
quality of their parental inbred lines. Five hybrids were of early maturity
FAO 300-400 group, and five of late maturity FAO 500-600 group. In the early
group one line of Lancaster origin (L1) was in common, and in direct crosses
used as male parent, while in reciprocal crosses as female parent. The same
case was with late hybrids where another Lancaster line (L2) was in common.
In 2015 and 2016 all the material was multiplied in hand pollination and
after six months of storage three tests according to ISTA standards were
performed: standard germination test (SGT), cold-test (CT) and vigor radicle
test (RE). According to the Analysis of variance, a strong reciprocal effect
was found among early hybrids for four out of five parameters in RE and SGT,
while it was found only for RE in late hybrids. However, in CT none of the
parameters had significant reciprocal effect. Two tested Lancaster inbreds
were superior in the hybrids over non-Lancaster lines when used as maternal
components, while as lines per se they did not display such superiority.
Mid-parent heterosis (MPH) ranged from -62.32% to 211.11% in RE test, with
an average of 44.26%; from -10.15% to 17.93% in SGT test, with an average of
6.27%, and from -5.31% to 4.49% in CT, with an average of 0.64%. Significant
differences of MPH were found for nine pairs of reciprocal hybrids for RE,
three pairs for SGT and seven pairs for CT. This shows that reciprocal
differences in MPH were higher as the applied level of stress during early
seed growth raised. All the results showed very complicated mode of
inheritance of tested traits in the early developmental stages of young
plants, including the phenomenon of heterosis which is expressed already at
the germination stage.

Published: December 2023

Soybean is the most important oilseed in the tropical and subtropical parts
of the world unfortunately has poor competence for seed longevity. It?s
strongly affected by environment (Temperature and RH) during seed formation,
harvest and storage. Tagging of seed longevity associated markers in the
crosses (Birsa Soya1 ? DS-228) which are good and poor storer genotypes
resp. by using 26 SSR primers in genotypes contrasting for these traits in
soybean. The polymorphism was observed between genotypes differing for seed
longevity trait for six primer pairs, viz; Sat_162, Satt632, Sat_202,
Satt523, Satt184 and Satt460, among them seed coat hardiness QTL, SCH 1-2
linked Satt632 amplified distinct markers. Bulked segregant analysis was
carried out by using SSR markers in segregating 93 F2 populations. The
Satt632-237 bp marker was further validated in individual F2 plant
population. The genotype, Birsa Soya1 and it segregants Satt632-237 bp
marker was found to be closely associated with high seed longevity in
soybean. Hence, the primer Satt632 is impending marker for marker assisted
breeding for high seed longevity marker to be linked to seed coat hardiness
loci qSCH1-2 like gene present on chromosome A2. Seed longevity trait is
governed by one or few gene with observed segregation ratio of 3.65:1 as
against expected segregated ratio 3:1. Candidate gene analysis at qSCH1-2
loci, indicated for role of either a brassinosteriod regulated protein or
pentatricopeptide repeat gene to regulate seed longevity.
The effects of MC4R and CACNA2D1 gene polymorphisms on carcass traits and marbling score in Turkish native cattle breeds and their crossbreds with the Holstein-Friesians
Authors: Ardicli Sena , Alpay Fazli
Published: December 2023

Carcass and beef quality traits are economically important traits and are
expressed by multiple genes. The effects of the MC4R c.856C>G and CACNA2D1
c.2027A>G polymorphisms on carcass and meat quality traits are limited.
Therefore, this study aimed at evaluating the association of bovine MC4R and
CACNA2D1 markers with carcass characteristics and meat quality. A total of
102 cattle including Turkish Grey Steppe, East Anatolian Red, Zavot, and
their F1 crossbreds with the Holstein-Friesians were genotyped using the
PCR-RFLP method. The phenotypic traits measured were slaughter weight, hot
carcass weight, chilled carcass weight, dressing percentage, chilling loss,
carcass fatness score, carcass pH24, and marbling score. Statistical
analyses were performed using linear mixed models in the entire cattle
population and also from a breed-specific aspect. Population genetics and
diversity indices were also estimated. Results revealed that the genetic
markers in this study are reasonably informative for the studied cattle
population and exhibit an intermediate genetic diversity. Concerning the
MC4R c.856C>G polymorphism, there was no significant association with any of
the traits analyzed, indicating that this MC4R c.856C>G is not a desirable
marker for carcass traits and marbling. Here, we report a novel association
between the CACNA2D1 c.2027A>G polymorphism and marbling score. The GG
genotype was characterized by higher marbling scores (P<0.05). Bovine
CACNA2D1 is located on BTA 4, which consists of important QTLs for marbling,
and hence, the evaluation of genetic markers within this genomic region may
reveal novel genetic associations through meat quality.
Association study of rs323344 in TEX15 with non-obstructive azoospermia in Iranian population
Authors: Aliasghar Bita , Sane Saba , Sheidai Masoud , Koohdar Fahime , Kalhor Naser
Published: December 2023

Infertility is a global health issue that affected approximately 15% of
couples across the world. Genetic and environmental factors have a
significant role in the manifestation of male infertility. Genetic factors
contribute to 15% - 30% of male infertility. Testis expressed 15 (TEX15)
gene plays an important role in chromosome synapsis, DNA double-strand break
repair, and meiotic recombination. DNA double-strand break repair is
required during homologous chromosome pairing and chromosome synapsis. The
TEX15 gene is essential for normal gametogenesis and maintenance of genome
integrity. The present study was carried out to investigate the association
of SNP rs323344 (p.Leu1720Val, c.5158 T>G) in the TEX15 gene with
azoospermia male infertility among the Iranian population. To conduct this
case-control study, a total of 100 Iranian men, including 50 infertile cases
diagnosed with non-obstructive azoospermia and 50 fertile controls from 5
different ethnics, were recruited. SNP rs323344 was genotyped using the
polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length (PCR-RFLP) method.
Furthermore, a number of samples were sequenced by the Sanger sequencing
method. Variants rs323344 in TEX15 showed the lack of statistically
significant differences in genotype distributions between men diagnosed with
azoospermia infertility and the fertile group in our studied samples in
Iran. In general, our studied genome segment demonstrated a high degree of
conservation and a low level of nucleotide variability. Our findings
indicated that the SNP rs323344 and its neighboring nucleotides play no role
in male infertility. This variant cannot be considered a biomarker for
azoospermia in the Iranian population. Further studies with larger sample
sizes and different ethnic backgrounds are needed to confirm the present
findings.

Published: December 2023

Nitric oxide (NO), plays a significant part in biological processes.
Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), the enzyme that catalyzes the
generation of NO in endothelium, contains genetic polymorphisms that have
been linked to an increased risk of developing cancer. The purpose of this
investigation was to ascertain whether there is any connection between renal
cell carcinom (RCC) and the eNOS 4a/b gene polymorphism. This study included
94 patients (mean age:54.2?10.5 years) diagnosed with histopathologically
confirmed RCC and 188 healthy controls (mean age:56.7?11.1 years). eNOS 4a/b
gene polymorphism was examined in DNA samples taken from patients and
healthy controls using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and agarose gel
electrophoresis methods. The patient and control groups did not differ
statistically significantly in terms of age or body mass index. The most
frequent genotype of eNOS 4a/b gene polymorphism is bb genotype in a Turkish
population. When compared to the control group, patients with RCC had
significantly higher rates of the aa and ab genotypes (p= .018 and p= .000,
respectively). There was no discernible difference in the eNOS 4a/b gene
polymorphism between patients with high-grade and advanced-stage disease and
those with low-grade and stage disease. We suggest that the eNOS 4a/b gene
polymorphism may be effective in the onset of renal cell cancer, but it is
not effective in development.

The study aimed to investigate the possibility of integrated assessment of
durum wheat genotypes in multi-environmental trials for grain quality and
yield. The most important selection parameters for durum wheat grain quality
were analysed: kernel weight, test weight, kernel diameter, hardness index,
kernel vitreousness, colour L, a, b values, grain protein content, SDS
sedimentation, and modified SDS sedimentation. A wide variation was observed
for all quality characteristics as well as grain yield. Variations in test
weight and grain yield in different environments were significantly higher
than those found among cultivars, whereas variations in hardness index,
kernel vitreousness, colour L and b values, grain protein content, SDS
sedimentation, and modified SDS sedimentation among cultivars were
significantly higher than those found between environments. Variations in
kernel weight, kernel diameter, and colour a value were similar for
cultivars and environments. Heritability values of the traits in the study
ranged from 0.28 for grain yield to 0.99 for the SDS sedimentation test.
Significant relationships were observed among traits according to both
biplot and correlation analyses. The ?kizce location, where the highest mean
grain yield and the lowest variation (347 kg/da, 299-412 kg/da,
respectively) were obtained, might be considered the most suitable location
for wheat production. Nine genotypes out of twenty-four evaluated showed
good values for SDS sedimentation, colour value b, and grain yield and could
be considered the most promising lines for selection.
The Effect of Horizontal Pay Transparency on Employee Motivation When Pay Dispersion Is Performance Based and Non-Performance Based
Authors: Grasser Robert A. , Newman Andrew H. , Xiong Xiaomei Grazia
Published: December 2023

The movement toward pay transparency within firms has intensified. We investigate the effect of horizontal pay transparency on employee motivation in a broader information environment where (1) performance-based and non-performance-based pay dispersion coexist and (2) relative performance information allows employees to alleviate pay dispersion ambiguity in order to assess the basis of any pay dispersion that pay transparency reveals. Drawing on distributive justice theory, we predict and find that pay transparency differentially affects employees’ motivation based on what it reveals about their relative standing while working under the same performance incentives. Specifically, it depends on whether they are underpaid, overpaid, or their relative pay aligns with their relative performance. Our analysis provides additional insights related to these three scenarios, and in doing so, our study highlights the importance of considering employees’ broader information environment when considering the potential benefits and costs associated with pay transparency.

Published: December 2023

Objective: To determine whether adiposity depots modulate vaspin levels and whether vaspin predicts T2D risk through epidemiological and genetic analyses.

Research design and methods: We assessed the relationship of plasma vaspin concentration with incident and prevalent T2D and adiposity-related variables in (i) the Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiology (PURE)-biomarker sub-study (N=10,052), and (ii) the Outcome Reduction with Initial Glargine Intervention (ORIGIN) Trial (N=7,840), using regression models. We then assessed whether vaspin is causally associated with T2D and whether genetic variants associated with MRI-measured adiposity depots modulate vaspin levels, using two-sample Mendelian randomisation (MR).

Results: A 1 standard deviation (SD) increase in circulating vaspin was associated with a 16% increase in incident T2D in PURE (HR, 1.16; 95%CI, 1.09–1.23; P=4.26x10-7) and prevalent T2D in ORIGIN (OR, 1.16; 95%CI, 1.07–1.25; P=2.17x10-4). A 1 unit increase in BMI and triglycerides were associated with a 0.08 SD (95%CI 0.06–0.10; P=2.04x10-15) and 0.06 SD (95%CI 0.04-0.08; P=4.08x10-13) increase in vaspin in PURE respectively. Consistent associations were observed in ORIGIN. MR results reinforced the association between vaspin and BMI-adjusted T2D risk (OR, 1.01 per 1 SD increase in vaspin level; 95%CI, 1.00–1.02; P=2.86x10-2), and showed that vaspin was increased by 0.10 SD per 1 SD decrease in genetically-determined gluteofemoral adiposity (95%CI 0.02, 0.18; P=2.01x10-2). No relationships were found between subcutaneous or visceral adiposity and vaspin.

Conclusions: These findings support that higher vaspin levels are related to increased T2D risk and reduced gluteofemoral adiposity, positioning vaspin as a promising clinical predictor for T2D.

As professional secretory cells, beta cells require adaptable mRNA translation to facilitate a rapid synthesis of proteins, including insulin, in response to changing metabolic cues. Specialized mRNA translation programs are essential drivers of cellular development and differentiation. However, in the pancreatic beta cell, the majority of factors identified to promote growth and development function primarily at the level of transcription. Therefore, despite its importance, the regulatory role of mRNA translation in the formation and maintenance of functional beta cells is not well defined. In this study, we have identified a translational regulatory mechanism mediated by the specialized mRNA translation factor eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (eIF5A), which facilitates the maintenance of beta cell identity and function. The mRNA translation function of eIF5A is only active when it is post-translationally modified (“hypusinated”) by the enzyme deoxyhypusine synthase (DHPS). We have discovered that the absence of beta cell DHPS in mice reduces the synthesis of proteins critical to beta cell identity and function at the stage of beta cell maturation, leading to a rapid and reproducible onset of diabetes. Therefore, our work has revealed a gatekeeper of specialized mRNA translation that permits the beta cell, a metabolically responsive secretory cell, to maintain the integrity of protein synthesis necessary during times of induced or increased demand.

Published: December 2023

The interest in natural fibres in non – textile applications has increased as a result of the search for new renewable materials. Especially attractive for environmental safety demands are biodegradable and renewable fibres such as lignocellulose fibres and biopolymers such as PLA.
The analysis of their biodegradation is often taken as a standard measure for environmentally friendly textile materials. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to investigate the biodegradation properties of Jute and PLA fibres by soil burial test. The fibres were exposed to the farmland soil for 11 days. The efficiency of the biodegradability was determined by comparison of mass loss, mechanical properties (finesses and tenacity) and morphological analysis by SEM microscope. With the purpose of a better understanding of biodegradation, the number of total fungi and bacteria in the soil is also determined.

Authors: Hoogeveen FJS , Blanker MH , Cauberg ECC , Steffens MG
Published: December 2023

Objectives: To compare the recurrence of non-muscle invasive bladder carcinoma (NMIBC) after transurethral resection employing cystoscopy with hexaminolevulinate-based photodynamic diagnosis (PDD) or with standard white light.
Patients and methods: We included patients with newly suspected NMIBC in this retrospective cohort study and compared those undergoing transurethral resection by white light cystoscopy (WLC) (2008–2010) and PDD (2010–2012). All patients were treated following established criteria for good quality resection. The primary outcome was the difference in the recurrence rate after 60 months’ follow-up, but we also stratified recurrence by risk groups, as set by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer. The mean recurrence-free survival was compared between the cohorts. Odds ratios or hazard ratios are reported with their 95% confidence intervals.
Results: The WLC and PDD cohorts comprised 124 and 91 subjects, respectively. There were no significant differences in recurrence rates between the cohorts at 6 months (recurrence rate 9/123; 7.3%), 12 months (17/118; 14.4%) or 60 months (39/102; 38.2%), with odds ratios of 1.23 (CI 0.48–3.25), 1.32 (CI 0.67–2.62) and 1.12 (CI 0.70–1.79), in favour of WLC, respectively. Further analysis showed no significant effect of PDD on either recurrence by risk group or on mean recurrence-free survival (hazard ratio, 1.12 [CI 0.70–1.79]).
Conclusion: We found no relevant differences in the recurrence of NMIBC after the introduction of PDD with hexaminolevulinate compared to standard WLC when used for transurethral resection in our single institution.
El cambio al populismo en la administración pública en México

Published: December 2023

Para el enfoque teórico del institucionalismo histórico, la relación entre el cambio político y el populismo en la administración pública presentaría particularidades en todos los estados. Los diversos factores históricos, sociales y culturales pueden explicar por qué los cambios políticos en México no ocurren de manera abrupta, sino que se desarrollan gradualmente. Esto puede tener un impacto significativo en la democracia y en la formulación de políticas públicas. En particular, este artículo se centra en el cambio político como transformación institucional durante el periodo del gobierno federal 2012-2018 y lo acontecido en el periodo 2018-2023, lo cual constituye un ejemplo de cómo los gobiernos populistas pueden buscar controlar la administración pública para implementar sus políticas sin restricciones. En este sentido, los gobiernos populistas pueden apuntar a estructuras, recursos, personal, normas y relaciones de rendición de cuentas para debilitar a las instituciones existentes y reemplazarlas con nuevas estructuras más afines a su agenda. Por tal motivo, se concluye que esto puede debilitar la integridad y eficacia de la administración pública y erosionar aún más la confianza en las instituciones democráticas. En otras palabras, el cambio político de los gobiernos populistas tiene una agenda de reforma antipopulistas, lo que significa que buscan socavar las normas y estructuras democráticas que limitan su poder.
Necesidad de la formalización del diseño artesanal para la intervención en la producción indígena en México
Authors: Macías Barreto Citlalli , Rojas Alarcón Evelia , Aguilar Fernández Mario
Published: December 2023

La producción artesanal en México continúa siendo una actividad económica fundamental para el desarrollo social de sus poblaciones más vulnerables, de ahí que la política gubernamental para la promoción de la producción artesanal se haya enfocado en la intervención del diseño profesional en las poblaciones indígenas mexicanas. Por lo tanto, el objetivo central de esta investigación fue establecer el alcance de la práctica del diseño profesional para abordar los desafíos que enfrentan los productores artesanales indígenas en México. Para ello, se desarrolló una investigación documental y de campo con un enfoque cualitativo en dos pueblos indígenas: los purépechas y los náhuatl. Se identificaron cuatro situaciones que desencadenan la producción artesanal: diseño intuitivo, diseño difuso, diseño bajo demanda y diseño integrado. Asimismo, se estableció que el alcance de la práctica de diseño en la producción artesanal indígena mexicana se basa en contribuir para que los productos artesanales lleguen a mercados que se hallan geográfica y culturalmente distantes, así como contrarrestar la apropiación indebida de la producción cultural indígena mediante la formación de profesionales del diseño con un perfil transdisciplinario. Por tanto, se concluye que es necesario formalizar el diseño artesanal como un área emergente de la disciplina del diseño para la construcción epistemológica de herramientas útiles que permitan resolver los problemas de la producción material artesanal.
