TL;DR: Analysis of the 1992 to 1998 Ontario winter wheat performance trial data indicated that plant height and maturity were the major genotypic causes of GE interaction, whereas coldTemperature in the winter and hot temperature in the summer were themajor environmental causes ofGE interaction.
Abstract: An understanding of the causes of genotype × environment (GE) interaction can help identify traits that contribute to better cultivar performance and environments that facilitate cultivar evaluation. Through subjecting environment-centered yield of a multi-environment trial data to singular value decomposition, the portion of yield variation that is relevant to cultivar evaluation is partitioned into noncrossover and crossover GE interaction, quantified by the first two principal components (PC), respectively. Each PC is a set of genotypic scores multiplied by a set of environmental scores. By relating the PC scores to genotypic and environmental covariates, GE interaction represented by each PC can be interpreted in terms of trait × factor interactions. This strategy was employed in analysis of the 1992 to 1998 Ontario winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) performance trial data. Results indicated that plant height and maturity were the major genotypic causes of GE interaction, whereas cold temperature in the winter and hot temperature in the summer were the major environmental causes of GE interaction. Positive interactions were found between earlier maturity vs. warmer winters or hotter summers, and between shorter plant height vs. warmer winters or cooler summers. In addition, better resistance to septoria leaf blotch (caused by Septoria secalis Prill. & Delacr.) was frequently associated with overall performance. The results of this study should help in determining breeding objectives and for selecting test sites or environments for winter wheat breeding in Ontario.

TL;DR: It was confirmed that the lactobacilli are the only group of organisms generally present in the small intestine in numbers exceeding 104/g, and during the growth of the bird the flora changed.
Abstract: Synopsis A study has been made of the intestinal flora of chickens aged between 2 and 6½ weeks. No major differences were found when rations containing 9 or 25% fish meal were compared or when two different sources of fish meal were used. Throughout the period investigated, it was confirmed that the lactobacilli are the only group of organisms generally present in the small intestine in numbers exceeding 104/g. Clostridia were regularly found at 102 to 104/g, but Clostridium welchii was isolated from only occasional samples. In the caeca, the total number of bacteria present at 2, 3, 4 and 6½ weeks was about 1011/g. Of these it was generally possible to isolate more than 20% using an anaerobic roll‐tube technique and oxygen‐free CO2. Many different types of anaerobes were isolated including strictly anaerobic budding bacteria which had not previously been studied. During the growth of the bird the flora changed. Anaerobic streptococci (peptostreptococci) predominated at 2 weeks but gradually decreased so ...

TL;DR: There is substantial evidence that the p38gamma MAPK-PGC-1alpha regulatory axis is critical for exercise-induced metabolic adaptations in skeletal muscle, and strategies that upregulate PGC-1 alpha, within physiological limits, have revealed its insulin-sensitizing effects.
Abstract: The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) is a major regulator of exercise-induced phenotypic adaptation and substrate utilization. We provide an overview of ...

TL;DR: The MIUViG (Minimum Information about an Uncultivated Virus Genome) as mentioned in this paper standard was developed within the Genomic Standards Consortium framework and includes virus origin, genome quality, genome annotation, taxonomic classification, biogeographic distribution and in silico host prediction.
Abstract: We present an extension of the Minimum Information about any (x) Sequence (MIxS) standard for reporting sequences of uncultivated virus genomes. Minimum Information about an Uncultivated Virus Genome (MIUViG) standards were developed within the Genomic Standards Consortium framework and include virus origin, genome quality, genome annotation, taxonomic classification, biogeographic distribution and in silico host prediction. Community-wide adoption of MIUViG standards, which complement the Minimum Information about a Single Amplified Genome (MISAG) and Metagenome-Assembled Genome (MIMAG) standards for uncultivated bacteria and archaea, will improve the reporting of uncultivated virus genomes in public databases. In turn, this should enable more robust comparative studies and a systematic exploration of the global virosphere.
