Performance of Embrapa's elite populations of subtropical lowland rice in the 2013/14 crop year.

This study aimed to estimate GY genetic progress expected in the FY from the 2013/14 crop year. The trials were carried out in Goianira and Alegrete, respectively in the Center and Southwest of Brazil

Capacidade de combinação de linhagens de arroz irrigado.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o potencial de 40 linhagens de arroz como genitores de populações-base do programa de melhoramento genético da Embrapa para a região subtropical do Brasil, com irrigação por inundação

Avaliação precoce de rendimento de grãos no melhoramento de arroz.

O presente trabalho foi desenvolvido visando quantificar os benefícios da seleção, para produtividade de grãos entre famílias F2:4 no desempenho do conjunto de linhagens derivadas de plantas selecionadas em F2:5

Análise da variabilidade genética de variedades tradicionais de arroz (Oryza sativa L.) através de marcadores moleculares microssatélites.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a variabilidade genética através de marcadores moleculares SSR em uma amostra de variedades tradicionais oriundas de coletas, conduzidas entre os anos de 1978 e 1996, em lavouras de pequenos agricultores no Brasil

Avaliação de produtividade de grãos no desenvolvimento de cultivares de arroz irrigado para a região subtropical brasileira.

O objetivo do trabalho foi quantificar os efeitos desse procedimento no desempenho das linhagens selecionadas em gerações avançadas

Structural equation modelling for predicting the relative contribution of each component in the metabolic syndrome status change

Understanding the factor weighting in the development of metabolic syndrome (MetS) may help to predict the progression for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Thus, the aim of this study was to develop a confirmatory model to describe and explain the direct and indirect effect of each component in MetS status change. A total of 3581 individuals diagnosed with MetS, aged 18–102 years, were selected between January 2019 and December 2020 from a community-representative sample of Portuguese adults in a north-eastern Portuguese region to test the model’s goodness of fit. A structural equation modelling (SEM) approach and a two-way ANOVA (age × body composition) were performed to compare the relative contribution of each MetS component using joint interim statement (JIS). Waist circumference (β = 0.189–0.373, p < 0.001), fasting glucose (β = 0.168–0.199, p < 0.001) and systolic blood pressure (β = 0.140–0.162, p < 0.001) had the highest direct effect on the change in MetS status in the overall population and concerning both sexes. Moreover, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) had a low or non-significant effect. Additionally, an indirect effect was reported for age and body composition involving the change in MetS status. The findings may suggest that other components with higher specificity and sensitivity should be considered to empirically validate the harmonised definition of MetS. Current research provides the first multivariate model for predicting the relative contribution of each component in the MetS status change, specifically in Portuguese adults.This article is a result of the project “GreenHealth-Digital strategies in biological assets to improve well-being and promote green health” (Norte-01-0145-FEDER-000042), supported by North Portugal Regional Operational Programme (NORTE 2020), under the PORTUGAL 2020 Partnership Agreement, through the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
