Path analysis under multiple-trait BLUP: application in the study of interrelationships among traits related to cotton fiber length

Multi-trait best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) is, generally, the most appropriate method to genetic evaluation because it considers the genetic and residual correlations among traits and conduct to higher selection accuracy.Thus, the present study aimed to identify traits correlated to the fiber length via path analysis under multi-trait BLUP

UvATG6 Interacts with BAX Inhibitor 1 Proteins and Plays Critical Roles in Growth, Conidiation, and Virulence in Ustilaginoidea virens

ABSTRACT Autophagy and apoptosis are evolutionarily conserved catabolic processes involved in regulating development and cellular homeostasis.Bax inhibitor 1 (BI-1) and autophagy protein 6 (ATG6) perform essential functions in these roles, such as cellular differentiation and virulence in various filamentous fungi.However, the functions of ATG6 and
