"Pre-summer boll, summer boll and autumn boll" have long been regarded as an important index for prematurity and high-yield in cotton. In this study, the prematurity and high-yield cotton cultivar, Baimian 2, was used as the central parent to cross separately with the middle-late-matury lines TM-1 and CIR12, and then two populations of F2 and F2:3 family lines were obtained, which was used to construct two genetic linkage maps. These maps were comprised of 269 and 127 marker loci with the total length 1837.8 cM and 1244.3 cM, respectively. Results of QTL location showed that a total of 29 QTLs were detected in the two combinations, including 16 suggestive QTLs and 13 significant QTLs, of which 5 significant QTLs had higher LOD values that was not only greater than 3 but also greater than the threshold calculated by permutation test. The contribution rate of 16 QTLs explained 10.9%-44.5% of the phenotypic variations. Four common QTLs, qPSB-17 for pre-summer boll, qSB-17 (qSB-17a/17b) for summer boll, and qAB-17 and qAB-12/26 for autumn boll, were detected close to common markers of the same chromosome in the two combinations, which could be applied in marker-assisted selection. Moreover, the contribution rate of qSB-17 (qSB-17a/17b) for summer boll in the two combinations was greater than 10%, and that of qAB-17, qAB-12/26 for autumn boll in one combination were greater than 10%. These common QTLs with greater contribution rates should take into consideration firstly in marker-assisted selection.

Urban green spaces (UGS) can help mitigate hydrological impacts of urbanisation and climate change through precipitation infiltration, evapotranspiration and groundwater recharge. However, there is a need to understand how precipitation is partitioned by contrasting vegetation types in order to target UGS management for specific ecosystem services. We monitored, over one growing season, hydrometeorology, soil moisture, sapflux and isotopic variability of soil water under contrasting vegetation (evergreen shrub, evergreen conifer, grassland, larger and smaller deciduous trees), focussed around a 150-m transect of UGS in northern Scotland.

In the recent past many studies investigated the microbiome of plants including several medicinal plants (MP). Microbial communities of the associated soil, rhizosphere and the above-ground organs were included, but there is still limited information on their seasonal development, and in particular simultaneous investigations of different plant organs are lacking. Many studies predominantly addressed either the prokaryotic or fungal microbiome.

A field study was carried out to determine the influence of foliage applied plant growth promoter and retardant in improving soil applied sulphur fertilizer use efficiency in cotton during two consecutive summers 2014 and 2015. Experimental trial comprised of three different sources of sulphur (ammonium sulphate, potassium sulphate and elemental sulphur) and foliar spray of plant growth promoter and growth retardant including tap water was taken as control. Among treatments soil applied ammonium sulphate with foliage applied amino acid produced maximum plant height, sympodial branches, pods per plant, seed cotton yield, fiber yield, biological yield, protein contents, oil contents and leaf nitrogen uptake as compared to the other treatments.

The cranberry weevil, Anthonomus musculus Say (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), is a key (univoltine) pest of highbush blueberries in the northeast United States. To date, however, no trapping system has been developed to successfully monitor this pest. In 2012-2014, studies were conducted in commercial highbush blueberry farms in New Jersey to 1) evaluate the efficacy of various commercially available traps, designed for other weevil species (e.

Background: Vulvar Paget disease is a rare skin disorder, which is most common in postmenopausal Caucasian women. They usually present with an erythematous plaque that may show fine or typical "cake icing" scaling or ulceration that may cause itching, pain, irritation, or a burning sensation. Although most cases are noninvasive, vulvar Paget disease may be invasive or associated with an underlying vulvar or distant adenocarcinoma.
