The experiment was conducted from November 2020 to April 2021 in three different agroecological regions such as BARI, Gazipur, RARS Barisal and RARS Rangpur. Seven inbred lines were selected on the basis of genetic diversity and per se performance and they were crossed separately in a 7 × 7 half diallel fashion, producing 21F1 hybrids in 2019 which were evaluated at three locations. However, variances due to GCA were much higher in magnitude than SCA for all the characters indicating preponderance of additive gene effects on the inheritance of these characters. Two parents viz., P3 (CML33) and P4 (CML41) were good general combiners and two crosses viz., P4 × P5 (CML41 × CML31) and P5 × P7 (CML31 × CML124) expressed significant positive SCA effects coupled with significant positive heterosis for grain yield and for most of the yield contributing characters over the two commercial check varieties BHM 9 and NK40. Four crosses: P1 × P5 (CML116 × CML31), P1 × P6 (CML116 × CML32), P2 × P6 (CML72 × CML32) and P3 × P4 (CML33 × CML41), exhibited significant and negative SCA effects for both plant and ear height which were desirable for short stature. Genotypes x location interaction was also significant for maximum characters, suggesting that genotypes interacted significantly in different environments.展开更多

[Method] Based on the analyses of GCA using incomplete diallel cross(NCII), the SCA of hybrid sorghum was analyzed by AMMI model. [Result] For the starch content change of F1 hybrid sorghum, the effects of GCA and SCA accounted for 81.06% and 17.97%, respectively. In the present study, CMS lines 45A, 29A and restorer lines Hui 1, 44R were proved to be the excellent parent materials for preparing high starch hybrid sorghum cultivars. [Conclusion] The improvement of starch content in parents should be mainly concerned in breeding high starch content hybrid sorghum.展开更多

The re...The combining ability and correlation of eight ear characteristics in 99 maize hybrids generated by crossing nine female parents with 11 male parents were analyzed by incomplete diallel cross (NC II ) design. The results showed that the line F6 had the highest general combining ability (GCA) for yield, followed by F7, M3, M4 and M8. All of the five lines have great potential in maize breeding. The cross combination M3xF10 had the highest specific combining ability (SCA) for yield, showing strong heterosis. Heritability analysis of ear characteristics showed that GCA variance was higher than SCA variance in ear diameter, number of rows per ear and seed rate, and they were mainly controlled by the additive gene effect, indicating that that the selections for these traits are effective at early generations. The other three traits had lower SCA, for which the selections should be carried out at late generations. The correlation analysis revealed that ear length, number of grains per row, ear diameter, number of rows per ear, 100-seed weight and seed rate had extremely significant positive correlations with grain yield per plant. Among them, number of grains per row had the most significant effect on yield per plant. Barren tip length had a significant negative correlation with grain yield per plant. Therefore, we concluded that the combinations with more grains per row and shorter barren tip should be selected to achieve high yield of maize.展开更多

Based on the obtained lower bounds on mean squared channel estimation errors, the limits on bit error rate (BER) for maximal ratio combining (MRC) with Gaussian distributed weighting errors on independent and identically distributed (i. i. d) fading channels are presented. Numerical results show that the BER performances of ideal MRC are the lower bounds on the BER performances of non-ideal MRC and deteriorate as the maximum Doppler frequency increases or the SNR of channel estimate decreases.展开更多

The result indicated that there were significant differences in general combining ability effects(GCA) of maize; there were highly significant differences in special combining ability effects(SCA); there was no significant difference in reciprocal effects(R). There were apparent differences in drought tolerance among six parents; to be specific, Zheng 58 had the highest drought tolerance, while PH4CV had the lowest. Improving drought-tolerant parents with Zheng 58, Ji 853 and Xinzi 8717 had gain superiority effects on the increase of drought tolerance in offspring. The influence of the genetic additive effect on the drought tolerance of offsprings varied with different parents and combinations. Therefore, the expression of drought tolerance inheritance genes was determined only by the additive and non-additive genetic effects but had little relationship with reciprocal effects. The selection of drought tolerance of maize should be conducted at higher generations.展开更多

The yield of11 HN110 × 11 HN097, 11 HN110 × 11 HN105, 11 HN112 × 11 HN 097 and 11 HN 106 × 11 HN 104 were in the first four place. The yielding abilities, adaptabilities and yielding stabilities of the four combinations can be further identified by experiment. The heredities of the ten characters were mainly controlled by additive gene effect whereas the influence of non-addictive gene effect was small. The narrow heritabilities of plant height, ear height, ear rows, ear length, kernels per row,100-grain weight and seed-producing percentage were more than 50%. The variances were mainly caused by heredity and early-generation selection should be conducted. The narrow heritabilities of ear diameter, bare tip length and yield was low, which should not be selected in early-generation.展开更多

The result showed that (i) the general combining ability (GCA) of male parents was R3>R2>R1 and that of female parents was A4>A1>A2>A5>A3; (i ) the special combining ability (SCA) of A2×R3 in plant height, number of branches, number of pods per plant and yield per plant was the best. The yield per plant of A2×R3, A1×R1 and A2×R1 ranked the first three places in the 15 combinations; (i i) the broad heritability of yield per plant was the highest, and that of the height of branches was the lowest. The com-prehensive characters of R3, A2 and A4 were better, which could be used to create new materials; (iv) good offspring were more likely to be chosen from the combina-tion with higher parental GCA, so the GCA and SCA should be considered com-prehensively when choosing parent and determining the optimal combinations.展开更多

Two parents viz., P3 (CML33) and P4 (CML41) were good general combiners and two crosses viz., P4 × P5 (CML41 × CML31) and P5 × P7 (CML31 × CML124) expressed significant positive SCA effects coupled with significant positive heterosis for grain yield and for most of the yield contributing characters over the two commercial check varieties BHM 9 and NK40. Four crosses: P1 × P5 (CML116 × CML31), P1 × P6 (CML116 × CML32), P2 × P6 (CML72 × CML32) and P3 × P4 (CML33 × CML41), exhibited significant and negative SCA effects for both plant and ear height which were desirable for short stature. Genotypes x location interaction was also significant for maximum characters, suggesting that genotypes interacted significantly in different environments.

文摘The traditional EnFCM(Enhanced fuzzy C-means)algorithm only considers the grey-scale features in image segmentation,resulting in less than satisfactory results when the algorithm is used for remote sensing woodland image segmentation and extraction.An EnFCM remote sensing forest land extraction method based on PCA multi-feature fusion was proposed.Firstly,histogram equalization was applied to improve the image contrast.Secondly,the texture and edge features of the image were extracted,and a multi-feature fused pixel image was generated using the PCA technique.Moreover,the fused feature was used as a feature constraint to measure the difference of pixels instead of a single grey-scale feature.Finally,an improved feature distance metric calculated the similarity between the pixel points and the cluster center to complete the cluster segmentation.The experimental results showed that the error was between 1.5%and 4.0%compared with the forested area counted by experts’hand-drawing,which could obtain a high accuracy segmentation and extraction result.
文摘BACKGROUNDGastrointestinal neuroendocrine carcinoma (GI NEC) has a low incidence rate andpoor prognosis. Most patients already have metastatic disease when they arediagnosed. Platinum chemotherapy is the main means of treating metastatic GINECs. There is a lack of effective treatment methods after chemotherapy failure.Therefore, Therefore, selecting appropriate posterior-line treatment programs toimprove the prognosis of patients is urgently needed.CASE SUMMARYA 64-year-old female was diagnosed with stage IV NEC of the rectum due toabdominal pain and rectal bleeding. After multiline chemotherapy, the conditionprogressed, and the patient was treated with a combination of camrelizumab and surufatinib. The efficacy evaluation revealed partial remission (PR) and stable conditions, with the expression ofthe tumor marker neuron-specific enolase (NSE) returning to normal. The adverse reactions were controllable, andthe overall condition was good, with weight gain achieved in the past four years. Another 51-year-old femaleexperienced recurrence and metastasis of a duodenal NEC after surgery. After multiline chemotherapy, shereceived sintilimab combined with surufatinib. The curative effect fluctuated between PR and stability. Duringtreatment, she recovered from immune-related diabetes and later died due to deterioration of her condition.During the treatment, the patient’s NSE level returned to normal.CONCLUSIONThe combination of antiangiogenic targeted drugs and immunotherapy provides a new therapeutic approach forthe treatment of metastatic GI-NECs.

文摘Background:Human skin is affected by ultraviolet rays on a daily basis,and excessive ultraviolet radiation(UVR)can lead to sunburn erythema,tanning,photoaging,and skin tumors.The combination of Astragali Radix(AR)and Anemarrhenae Rhizoma(AAR)is a common pairing in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).According to earlier studies,they possess properties capable of alleviating the adverse impacts of UVR on the skin.However,the specific actions and underlying mechanisms require further investigation.The study aims to analyze the efficacy of AR-AAR in preventing UVR-induced skin damage and to clarify the associated molecular mechanisms.Methods:Potential signaling pathways by which AR and AAR may protect against UVR-induced skin damage were identified with network pharmacology,molecular docking techniques and molecular dynamics(MD)simulation.Except the normal group,the back skin of SD rats was exposed to 1.1 mW/cm^(2) UVA combined with 0.1 mW/cm^(2) UVB daily,and the UVR skin damage model was established.Morphological features of skin tissues of different groups were discovered through Hematoxylin and Eosin(HE)staining,Masson staining,Weigert staining.ELISA was utilized to measure the levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS),Interleukin 6(IL-6),Interleukin 1β(IL-1β)and Tumor necrosis factos-α(TNF-α)in skin tissues.RT-PCR and Western blot were employed to quantify the mRNA and protein contents of PI3K,AKT,and MMP-9.Results:Network pharmacology analysis predicts that AR-AAR may improve skin damage induced by UVR through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.Histological staining shows that AR-AAR can significantly reduce inflammatory infiltration and fibrosis in damaged skin.Treatment with AR-AAR(2:1)significantly reduced the expression levels of IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-αand ROS in UVR-damaged rat skin.After treatment with AR-AAR(2:1),not only did the relative mRNA expression levels of PI3K and AKT and the protein expression levels of PI3K,AKT,P-PI3K,and P-AKT increase,but the mRNA and protein expression levels of MMP-9 decreased.Conclusion:The study indicate that the AR-AAR combination and its active components may mitigate UVR skin damage by modulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

文摘The combining ability and correlation of eight ear characteristics in 99 maize hybrids generated by crossing nine female parents with 11 male parents were analyzed by incomplete diallel cross (NC II ) design. The results showed that the line F6 had the highest general combining ability (GCA) for yield, followed by F7, M3, M4 and M8. All of the five lines have great potential in maize breeding. The cross combination M3xF10 had the highest specific combining ability (SCA) for yield, showing strong heterosis. Heritability analysis of ear characteristics showed that GCA variance was higher than SCA variance in ear diameter, number of rows per ear and seed rate, and they were mainly controlled by the additive gene effect, indicating that that the selections for these traits are effective at early generations. The other three traits had lower SCA, for which the selections should be carried out at late generations. The correlation analysis revealed that ear length, number of grains per row, ear diameter, number of rows per ear, 100-seed weight and seed rate had extremely significant positive correlations with grain yield per plant. Among them, number of grains per row had the most significant effect on yield per plant. Barren tip length had a significant negative correlation with grain yield per plant. Therefore, we concluded that the combinations with more grains per row and shorter barren tip should be selected to achieve high yield of maize.

文摘Using 3 sterile lines and 12 restorer of glutinous sorghum as experimental materials,36 hybrid combinations(3×12 NCⅡ) were designed to analyze the combining ability and heritability of six main agronomic traits,including plant height,panicle length,growth period,1 000-grain weight,per panicle grains and per panicle grain weight.The results showed that except per panicle grain number all other five agronomic traits have remarkable or extremely remarkable general combining ability and specific combining ability.Six agronomic traits were found to be control by additive genetic effect.Most of these agronomic traits are more easily influenced by restorers than sterile lines,suggesting that more attention should be paid to select restores in hybrid glutinous sorghum breeding.The narrow-sense heritability of these agronomic traits were in order growth period plant height per panicle grain weight panicle length 1 000-grain weight per panicle grains.

文摘The theoretical lower bounds on mean squared channel estimation errors for typical fading channels are presented by the infinite-length and non-causal Wiener filter and the exact closed-form expressions of the lower bounds for different channel Doppler spectra are derived. Based on the obtained lower bounds on mean squared channel estimation errors, the limits on bit error rate (BER) for maximal ratio combining (MRC) with Gaussian distributed weighting errors on independent and identically distributed (i. i. d) fading channels are presented. Numerical results show that the BER performances of ideal MRC are the lower bounds on the BER performances of non-ideal MRC and deteriorate as the maximum Doppler frequency increases or the SNR of channel estimate decreases.

文摘By using complete-diallel cross design(Griffing method I), the influence of the combination of different high-yield genotypes of maize on the drought tolerance of their offspring, the general combining ability, the specific combining ability and the back cross effect of drought tolerance between parents and the main genetic parameters for drought tolerance were analyzed. The result indicated that there were significant differences in general combining ability effects(GCA) of maize; there were highly significant differences in special combining ability effects(SCA); there was no significant difference in reciprocal effects(R). There were apparent differences in drought tolerance among six parents; to be specific, Zheng 58 had the highest drought tolerance, while PH4CV had the lowest. Improving drought-tolerant parents with Zheng 58, Ji 853 and Xinzi 8717 had gain superiority effects on the increase of drought tolerance in offspring. The influence of the genetic additive effect on the drought tolerance of offsprings varied with different parents and combinations. Therefore, the expression of drought tolerance inheritance genes was determined only by the additive and non-additive genetic effects but had little relationship with reciprocal effects. The selection of drought tolerance of maize should be conducted at higher generations.

文摘The general combining ability(GCA), special combining ability(SCA) and genetic parameter of ten characters of 22 maize inbred lines including plant height and ear height were analyzed using 10×12 through incomplete diallel cross(NC Ⅱ).The results showed that:(1) Among the 22 maize inbred lines, the yield GCAs of11 HN 097, 11 HN 099, 11 HN 105 and 11 HN 110 were high, which were elite inbred lines to collocate hybridized combinations with strong heterosis. The yield of11 HN110 × 11 HN097, 11 HN110 × 11 HN105, 11 HN112 × 11 HN 097 and 11 HN 106 × 11 HN 104 were in the first four place. The yielding abilities, adaptabilities and yielding stabilities of the four combinations can be further identified by experiment. The heredities of the ten characters were mainly controlled by additive gene effect whereas the influence of non-addictive gene effect was small. The narrow heritabilities of plant height, ear height, ear rows, ear length, kernels per row,100-grain weight and seed-producing percentage were more than 50%. The variances were mainly caused by heredity and early-generation selection should be conducted. The narrow heritabilities of ear diameter, bare tip length and yield was low, which should not be selected in early-generation.

文摘Fifteen combinations crossed by five JA cytoplasmic male sterile lines (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5) and three restoring lines (R1, R2, R3) were selected to analyze the combining ability and heritability of nine main agronomic characters of Brassica na-pus L. to definite the application potential of these parent materials. The result showed that (i) the general combining ability (GCA) of male parents was R3>R2>R1 and that of female parents was A4>A1>A2>A5>A3; (i ) the special combining ability (SCA) of A2×R3 in plant height, number of branches, number of pods per plant and yield per plant was the best. The yield per plant of A2×R3, A1×R1 and A2×R1 ranked the first three places in the 15 combinations; (i i) the broad heritability of yield per plant was the highest, and that of the height of branches was the lowest. The com-prehensive characters of R3, A2 and A4 were better, which could be used to create new materials; (iv) good offspring were more likely to be chosen from the combina-tion with higher parental GCA, so the GCA and SCA should be considered com-prehensively when choosing parent and determining the optimal combinations.
