Multi-locus genome wide association study uncovers genetics of fresh seed dormancy in groundnut.

Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) in groundnut leads to substantial yield losses and reduced seed quality, resulting in reduced market value of groundnuts. Breeding cultivars with 14-21 days of fresh seed dormancy (FSD) holds promise for precisely mitigating the yield and quality deterioration. In view of this, six multi-locus genome-wide association study (ML-GWAS) models alongside a single-locus GWAS (SL-GWAS) model were employed on a groundnut mini-core collection using multi season phenotyping and 58 K "Axiom_Arachis" array genotyping data.

Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor of the Rectum: Report of a Case With Long-Term Imatinib Treatment.

Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) are rare in the rectum. These usually present with symptoms produced by compression of pelvic organs or bleeding. Surgery is the treatment of choice, however, at times the surgery can be mutilating and organ preservation may not be possible.

Advanced neutralization technique for the treatment of highly acidic wastewater from steel rolling mills of western Rajasthan.

In this study, we developed an economical treatment process for highly acidic effluents from steel rolling mills containing toxic heavy metals. Our method involves a pH-dependent approach using mining waste and hydrated lime. The treatment occurs in two steps: First, metal oxides precipitate at pH 3-3.

Optimizing whole grain rice fortification using microwave-assisted screw conveying spraying and drying setup: Exploring solution absorption, gelatinization, and micronutrient retention.

This study presents a novel gelatinization-induced whole-grain rice fortification (GIWGRF) technology using a microwave-assisted screw conveying spraying and drying setup (MASCSD). The process involves microwave-assisted soaking of pregelatinized rice in a micronutrient solution, followed by steam-assisted gelatinization and drying. Rice with an initial degree of gelatinization (DG) of 58.
