Response of stalk lodging resistance traits, yield and quality of silage maize to high density.

A two-factor randomized block experiment was conducted in 2024 to investigate three silage maize varieties under three high densities (150,000, 180,000, and 210,000 plants [Formula: see text]). The study aimed to explore how high-density environments affect stalk lodging. The results showed that: (1) The increase in density significantly altered the traits related to the stalks.

Machine Learning Analysis of Maize Seedling Traits Under Drought Stress.

The increasing concentration of greenhouse gases is amplifying the global risk of drought on crop productivity. This study sought to investigate the effects of drought on the growth of maize ( L.) seedlings.

Screening for cold tolerance resources in maize seedlings and analysis of leaf cell responses.

Using 63 maize varieties as materials, this study employed indoor low-temperature stress testing methods to evaluate cold tolerance during the seedling stage. The aim was to investigate the low-temperature resistance of different maize varieties during the seedling stage and to conduct photosynthetic physiological analysis and leaf cell responses for extreme materials. The results of the experiment indicate that: (1) Different maize varieties exhibit variations in cold tolerance during the seedling stage, and the extent to which various measurement indicators are affected by low-temperature stress differs.

Differences in Physiological and Agronomic Traits and Evaluation of Adaptation of Seven Maize Varieties.

To better understand the growth adaptability of various maize varieties to the climate of the Alar region in Southern Xinjiang Province, an experiment was conducted using seven distinct maize varieties as test materials. A one-way randomized block design was applied to both experimental groups. In 2021 and 2022, a total of 19 indicators were observed for comparative analysis, including antioxidant enzyme activities and agronomic traits.

Comprehensive Evaluation and Selection of 192 Maize Accessions from Different Sources.

In the period 2022-2023, an analysis of fourteen phenotypic traits was conducted across 192 maize accessions in the Aral region of Xinjiang. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index was employed to quantify the phenotypic diversity among the accessions. Subsequently, a comprehensive evaluation of the index was performed utilizing correlation analysis, principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis.

Screening of salt tolerance of maize ( L.) lines using membership function value and GGE biplot analysis.

Soil salinization is a widely recognized global environmental concern that has a significant impact on the sustainable development of agriculture at a global scale. Maize, a major crop that contributes to the global agricultural economy, is particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of salt stress, which can hinder its growth and development from germination to the seedling stage. This study aimed to screen highly salt-tolerant maize varieties by using four NaCl concentrations of 0, 60, 120, and 180 mMol/L.

Adverse impact of a high allelic burden FLT3-ITD mutation on allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with cytogenetically normal AML.

Risks associated with the FLT3-ITD mutation in patients receiving chemotherapy alone for cytogenetic normal acute myeloid leukemia (CN-AML) depend on the allelic ratio (AR) and concomitant NPM1 mutation. Nevertheless, their prognostic ability after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) remains undetermined. Moreover, previous studies have revealed that haploidentical transplantation improves outcomes of FLT3-ITD patients.

[Prevalence of bacterial vaginosis in married women of reproductive age in the rural area of Shandong province and its risk factors].

Objective: To explore the prevalence of bacterial vaginosis of married women of reproductive age in the rural area of Shandong province and its affecting factors, with an aim to provide references for setting up preventing measures for this disease.

Methods: A stratified, population-based, cluster sampling method was employed. The epidemiological investigation on bacterial vaginosis of married women of reproductive age was carried out at four sampling fields.
