Open AccessUltrasound measurements of fetal facial profile markers and their associations with congenital malformations during early pregnancy
Fetal facial profile could be measured during the early pregnancy. Its abnormalities might be associated with certain congenital malformations. We aimed to study the associations between fetal facial profile m...

Phosphorous and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Improve Snapdragon Flowering Through Regulating Root Architecture and Phosphorus Nutrition
Snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus L.) is a popular ornamental plant, but its growth and flowering can be limited by inadequate soil phosphorus (P) availability. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can form symbiotic a...

Genome-wide association study and genomic prediction for yield and grain quality traits of hybrid rice
Genomic selection is an efficient tool for breeding selection, especially for quantitative traits controlled by multiples genes with low heritability. To validate the application of genomic selection in hybrid...

Reaction coupling separation for isosteviol production from stevioside catalyzed by acidic ion-exchange resin
Isosteviol, a prodrug used to be obtained via Wagner–Meerwein rearrangement from steviol with low yield and long reaction time. Herein, an in-situ separation-coupling-reaction is presented to prepare isostevio...

Antioxidant bisabolane-type sesquiterpenoids from algal-derived fungus Aspergillus sydowii EN-434
A new aromatic bisabolene-type sesquiterpenoid (7S-8S)-8-hydroxysydowic acid (1), together with a pair of new bisabolene derivative (±)-(7R*,10R*)-10-hydroxysydowic acid (2), as well as two known analogues hydrox...

Smart use of tertiary amine to design CO2-triggered viscoelastic fluids
The construction of CO2-responsive surfactant-based viscoelastic fluids is an area of great endeavor, hitherto achieved mainly through the aid of synthetic surfactant with CO2-sensitive group. Here, classic cetyl...

Map** of the Ogura fertility restorer gene Rfo and development of Rfo allele-specific markers in canola (Brassica napus L.)
Ogura cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and its corresponding nuclear fertility restorer gene, Rfo, have been introduced from radish to Brassica species by interspecific crosses. Rfo restores male fertility by alt...

Map** of the loci controlling oleic and linolenic acid contents and development of fad2 and fad3 allele-specific markers in canola (Brassica napus L.)
The quality of canola oil is determined by its constituent fatty acids such as oleic acid (C18:1), linoleic acid (C18:2) and linolenic acid (C18:3). Most canola cultivars normally produce oil with about 55–65%...

Use of STSs and SSRs as rapid and reliable preselection tools in a marker-assisted selection-backcross scheme
We describe a new approach for using suitable STS and SSR markers as a powerful molecular tool for screening segregating populations involved in backcross schemes for marker-assisted selection, as a preselecti...

Chromosome and chromosomal arm locations of genes for resistance to Septoria glume blotch in wheat cultivar Cotipora
Septoria glume blotch, caused by Stagonospora nodorum, is an important disease of wheat (Triticum aestivum). Separate genetic mechanisms were found to control flag leaf and spike resistance. Genes for resistance...
