Article Synopsis
  • Drought significantly affects maize production, necessitating the development of drought-tolerant and high-yielding hybrids to ensure food security amid climate changes.
  • The study evaluated twenty new maize hybrids, developed from ten inbred lines, under both water-deficit and well-watered conditions, revealing significant variations in agronomic traits.
  • Key inbred lines demonstrated potential for breeding programs, particularly in traits like earliness and yield; notable hybrids showed superior traits related to chlorophyll content and grain yield, indicating strong potential for future maize cultivation.

Chocolate spot and heat stress devastatingly impact the production of faba bean, particularly under prevailing climatic changes and rising drastic environmental conditions. Hence, the adaptability of faba bean performance is a decisive objective of plant breeders to ensure its sustainable production. The present study aimed to evaluate the agronomic performance and stability of diverse eleven faba bean genotypes for yield characters, chocolate spot, and heat stress in eight different growing environments.

Yellow rust and heat stress adversatively impact the growth and production of bread wheat in particular under rising adverse environmental conditions. Stability of grain yield is a pivotal purpose of plant breeders to improve wheat production and ensure global food security especially under abrupt climate change. The objective of this study was to assess the performance and stability of diverse bread wheat genotypes for yellow rust resistance, heat stress, and yield traits.

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a clinical state characterized by massive proteinuria and edema. It is believed that nephrin and podocin are involved in the development of proteinuria. The proteinuria and effects of eplerenone alone or combined with enalapril on nephrin/podocin abundance in rats with NS have not yet been studied.

Vascular complications cause serious morbidity in patients with diabetes mellitus. Three such complications are nephropathy, retinopathy and accelerated atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. There is currently scant evidence of a genetic marker that predicts which patients will have vascular complications.
