The F3 lines were planted in alternate rows, with the parental cultivars between them.
There were significant differences in head rice rate, chalkiness rate and amylose content in the two cultivars between the treatments (Table 2).
Among the 456 common cultivars between Youxian and Fuyang in 2014, Cd concentration in brown rice correlated significantly (r = 0.55, P < 0.0001) (Fig. 2a, Additional file 1: Table S2).
Endopolyploidy levels represented by endoreduplication index (EI) in the 'Manuela' sepals and stamens showed statistical differences between young and old stages, other organs of both cultivars between stages are not statistically different.
Further, we did not compare the absolute numbers of farmer-available cultivars between the individual countries because the agricultural structure, the national legislation for cultivar registration and even some names of varieties differed from country to country.
A set of 100 InDel markers (Additional file 6: Table S6) with PIC ≥ 0.5 and a 3 10 bp major allele difference in genomes of two inbred rice cultivars between Nipponbare and 9311 were randomly selected from the developed InDel markers for accuracy and polymorphism validation by the PCR technique.
There were significant correlations in grain As concentration among the common cultivars between the Youxian and Fuyang sites in 2014 (r = 0.32, P < 0.0001) (Fig. 4a, Additional file 1: Table S2), and between each two of the three sites in 2015 (r = 0.45 – 0.51, P < 0.001, Fig. 4a, Additional file 1: Table S2).
We demonstrate that the 9K SNP array provides sufficient resolution to distinguish among V. vinifera cultivars, between V. vinifera and wild Vitis species, and even among diverse wild Vitis species.
Such novel ant-fungus relationships may be generated by occasional horizontal transmission of fungal cultivars between ant nests [ 27].
Deposition of net cell wall content slowed in both cultivars between 70 and 100 DAFB, and became negligible once the fruit approached maturity.
The results from a full model factorial experiment ANOVA of dry weight (Table 2) showed significant differences between cultivars, between aeration treatments and among N treatments (Table 4A).
