There are two ways in which NLB, represented by the θ angle in Figure 4, could be measured.
In 2007, eight consecutive internodes were scored from four plants per row (inoculation was conducted in NLB plot); in 2008, six consecutive internodes were scored from eight plants per row.
Two derived NILs carrying identified NLB QTL in "cleaner" B73 backgrounds (minimal amount of introgression from Tx303 not associated with NLB resistance) were chosen for detailed QTL characterization.
Two QTL for resistance to NLB, qNLB1.02 B73 and qNLB1.06 Tx303, were successfully identified, validated and characterized using a population of introgression lines and derived NILs.
The country's information minister Yaacob Ibrahim has said he supports the decision to pulp all copies of the book along with two other titles after the National Library Board (NLB), which runs 26 public libraries in Singapore, pulled them from the shelves.
IPIs ≥ 75 months were associated with increased odds of all three types of non-live-birth (NLB) outcomes but were not as risky as very short intervals.
Our primary hypothesis that individual QTL affect distinct stage(s) of NLB development was ultimately confirmed using two selected NILs (compared to B73) in repeated greenhouse and field trials, with a panel of conventional and novel components.
To assess the qPCR technique as a tool for analyzing the NLB pathosystem, several time-course experiments were performed on seven maize genotypes with a wide range of differential levels of NLB resistance (C. Chung, unpublished).
Fifty-six percent of IPIs of <6 months began with a NLB, more than 30% of IPIs of 6 14 months began with a NLB, but just 7.7% of IPIs of 15 26 months began with a NLB, and only 2.8% of IPIs of 27 50 months began with a NLB.
The statistical evidence for the parallel evolution in UWI, Dmx and NLb of auguritids and pinacitids is thus controversial between the two approaches we used.
