Furthermore, 18F-7B shows 3.4-fold higher affinity for AD homogenates compared with that of fibrils, a promising trait of translatable agents.
The rind-puncture resistance evaluated by Butrón et al. [ 5] was a useful indicator of resistance in some materials, but the length of the meristematic area, an area located at the base of the internode, was a more promising trait [ 18].
In that respect, complex metallic alloys (CMA) have recently demonstrated promising traits where a myriad of physical, mechanical, chemical properties can be obtained by altering the structure.
In the meantime, we need to improve our mechanistic understanding of how heat-tolerant cultivars could be buffered against loss of grain quality under elevated [CO2] in order to identify promising traits for future breeding programs.
Traits that had high percentages of total phenotypic variance attributed to populations were considered promising traits for further exploration of potentially adaptive relationships with climates of source locations.
Initially, wild plants carrying promising traits for cultivation were selected, leading eventually to locally adapted landraces that had lost many allele combinations that were disadvantageous to the farmer such as dehiscent pods and thick testas and gained useful ones such as increased seed size [ 1].
Advantage has also been taken of the ability to process small sample sizes to determine variations in sugar release among tree growth rings and to identify promising traits in poplar as well as the high throughput determination of glucan and xylan fractions in lignocelluloses developed by Selig et al. [ 28, 31, 37].
Adiponectin may serve as a promising quantitative intermediate trait in studies designed to map the genes underlying diabetes and obesity in this population.
However, the small proportion of genotypic variance explained by the QTLs suggest that there are also many other genes of small effect regulating MCB resistance and we conclude that MAS seems not promising for this trait.
Therefore, we conclude that MAS seems not promising for this trait, although the genomic regions consistently detected are useful as starting points for the cloning of genes related to resistance.
A few promising responses and traits to explore include the degree of isohydry/anisohydry, leaf morphology and anatomy, propensity for osmotic adjustments, wood density, vulnerability to cavitation, and drought-deciduous behavior.
