Wheat is a staple food for a large part of the world's population and faces a continuous demand for increased productivity. The presence of genetic variability allows the success in developing cultivars with higher yield. The understanding of the genetic variability available is crucial for their efective use in breeding programs. Inheritance of wheat yield components is complex, due to polygenic control and the strong infuence of the environment. Therefore, an accurate heritability estimation can accelerate the selection gains towards increasing wheat yield. Thus, this study aimed to characterize agronomic traits related to yield in a collection of 99 wheat accessions used in Brazil. In addition, the heritability of these traits was estimated. The studied accessions showed variability for yield, which can be explained by the presence of variability in most yield components. Cluster analysis showed that there is variability in wheat genotypes, however, the introduction of new sources of variability in crossing blocks or the induction of mutations is suggested. The broad-sense heritability for grain yield was considered high, as well as for most of the studied agronomic traits, suggesting that it is possible to obtain genetic gain with selection in this environment. However, for greater accuracy, genetic gain values should be estimated and considered when designing selection strategies. Hectoliter weight showed low heritability, demonstrating the complexity of selection for this trait. In summary, this study demonstrates the presence of genetic variability and high heritability for agronomic traits, enabling genetic gain in breeding programs using these wheat accessions.

Diethyl nitrosamine (DEN) induced cirrhosis-hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) model associates cancer progression with oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. This study investigated the effects of mitoquinol mesylate (MitoQ), a mitochondrial- targeted antioxidant on DEN-induced oxidative damage in HCC Wistar rats. Fifty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups. Healthy control, DEN, and MitoQ groups were orally administered exactly 10 mg/kg of distilled water, DEN, and MitoQ, respectively for 16 weeks. Animals in the MitoQ + DEN group were pre-treated with MitoQ for a week followed by co-administration of 10 mg/kg each of MitoQ and DEN. DEN + MitoQ group received DEN for 8 weeks, then co-administration of 10 mg/kg each of DEN and MitoQ till the end of 16th week. Survival index, tumour incidence, hematological profile, liver function indices, lipid profile, mitochondrial membrane composition, mitochondrial respiratory enzymes, and antioxidant defense status in both mitochondrial and post-mitochondrial fractions plus expression of antioxidant genes were assessed. In MitoQ + DEN and DEN + MitoQ groups, 80% survival occurred while tumour incidence decreased by 60% and 40% respectively, compared to the DEN-only treated group. Similarly, MitoQ-administered groups showed a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in the activities of liver function enzymes while hemoglobin concentration, red blood cell count, and packed cell volume were significantly elevated compared to the DEN-only treated group. Administration of MitoQ to the DEN-intoxicated groups successfully enhanced the activities of mitochondrial F1F0- ATPase and succinate dehydrogenase; and up-regulated the expression and activities of SOD2, CAT, and GPx1. Macroscopic and microscopic features indicated a reversal of DEN-induced hepatocellular degeneration in the MitoQ + DEN and DEN + MitoQ groups. These data revealed that MitoQ intervention attenuated DEN-induced oxidative stress through modulation of mitochondrial antioxidant defense systems and alleviated the burden of HCC as a chemotherapeutic agent.

<P>Lead (Pb) concentrations in whole blood and 관-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) concentrations in plasma and whole blood from 37 cattle with suspected Pb exposure were determined in order to investigate the usefulness of ALA as a biological indicator for Pb poisoning in cattle. Cows were divided into 4 groups based on blood Pb, as follows: <30 ppb (group 1), 30-100 ppb (group 2), 100-300 ppb (group 3), and >300 ppb (group 4). The derivatization reaction for ALA was improved by a greater than 2-fold measure in whole blood and by a 10-fold measure in plasma by adding 75 and 50 µl of 0.1 N HCl, respectively. Blood Pb concentrations ranged from <25 ppb to 1,006 ppb (185.5 ± 254.9 ppb), with 17 samples containing >50 ppb Pb. Delta-aminolevulinic acid concentrations in whole blood and plasma ranged from <62.7 ppb to 96.9 ppb (77.4 ± 8.4 ppb) and from <5.0 ppb to 24.0 ppb (4.6 ± 3.8 ppb), respectively. Whole blood ALA did not correlate with blood lead concentrations in any group. Increase in plasma ALA concentration was dependent on blood Pb concentration. There was no correlation between blood Pb concentration and plasma ALA concentration in group 2 (n ????4), but correlation coefficients were 0.736 in group 3 and 0.807 in group 4, respectively. The correlation coefficient was increased to 0.851 when groups 3 and 4 were combined. Based on these observations, in cattle, plasma ALA is a more reliable biological biomarker for Pb exposure than is blood ALA.</P>
