This study aimed to detect genetically modified maize (GMM) in seeds of eleven imported maize hybrids grown in Jordan. We used promoter and terminator for general screening of transgenic materials. Conventional PCR detected the specific events for the screening of Bt 11, MON810, and Bt176 events. Seeds of eleven maize hybrids samples showed a positive response to the promoter; nine out of eleven showed a positive response for terminator. Bt11 event was the most used in GMM seeds, where seven out of eleven samples showed positive results. Two out of eleven hybrids showed the presence of the Bt176 event; however, MON810 not detected in any of the tested hybrids. We studied the Bt11 event in imported GMM seeds in Jordan for the first time, reinforcing the need for a mandatory labeling system and a valid simple qualitative method in routine analysis of GMCs.

Deciphering individual triticale grain weight patterns: A gaussian mixture model approach.
PLoS One

Department of Plant Biotechnology, Korea University, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Grain weight is one of the key phenotypic traits in crops, closely related to yield. However, the actual structure of grain weight distribution is often overlooked. In this paper, to analyze the characteristics of grain weight, we interpret the weight distribution and structure of individual grains of triticale (× Triticosecale Wittmack) from the perspective of a sum of normal distributions, rather than a single normal distribution, using the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM).

In light of the growing global demand for food and the urgent need to address environmental challenges, it is essential to understand the factors that influence cereal production. This research set out to examine the intricate relationships between land use practices, agricultural methods, industrialization, energy intensity, carbon emissions, urban population growth, gross domestic savings, and cereal production across fifteen key cereal-producing states in the Americas. The study employs a Panel VAR/GMM model with data spanning from 2000 to 2021.

The present study extracts starch from guinea grass seed and fiber from the starch extraction residue. The fibrous residue was chemically converted into cellulose microfiber (CMF) and used to reinforce the native, esterified and crosslinked guinea starch films. The films were developed with 5 % starch, 40 % glycerol and 0, 2.

Circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA) can be used to detect and profile residual tumour cells persisting after curative intent therapy. The study of large patient cohorts incorporating longitudinal plasma sampling and extended follow-up is required to determine the role of ctDNA as a phylogenetic biomarker of relapse in early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Here we developed ctDNA methods tracking a median of 200 mutations identified in resected NSCLC tissue across 1,069 plasma samples collected from 197 patients enrolled in the TRACERx study.
