Development and validation of a minimal SNP genotyping panel for the differentiation of Cannabis sativa cultivars by Alex Cull, David L. Joly

“…Results In this study, we have conducted whole genome sequencing of 32 cultivars, mined the sequencing data for SNPs, developed a reduced SNP genotyping panel to discriminate between sequenced cultivars, then validated the 20-SNP panel using DNA from the sequenced cultivars and tested the assays on commercially available dried flower. The assay conversion rate was higher in DNA extracted from fresh plant material than in DNA extracted from dried flower samples. …”

Patterns of nucleotide diversity for different domains of centromeric histone H3 (CENH3) gene in Secale L. by S. S. Gatzkaya, E. V. Evtushenko

“…The estimates of nucleotide and haplotype diversity per site for the CENH3 domains are considerably lower in taxa with narrow geographic ranges: S. cereale subsp. dighoricum and S. strictum subsp. kuprijanovii. Commercial breeding reduces the nucleotide sequence variability in αCENH3 and βCENH3. …”

Cultivar and Training System Impact Cold-climate Seedless Table Grape Performance in the Northeastern United States by Rebecca Grube Sideman, George Hamilton, Kaitlyn Orde

“…In conclusion, ‘Mars’, ‘Canadice’, ‘Vanessa’, and ‘Lakemont’ offer potential for commercial production of seedless table grapes in the northeastern United States based on producing moderate to high yields of consistently high-quality fruit; of these, ‘Mars’ showed the least susceptibility to common diseases and postharvest weight loss.…”

Using Zeolites to Cold Stabilize White Wines by Tim Reilly, Pawel Mierczynski, Andri Suwanto, Satriyo Krido Wahono, Waldemar Maniukiewicz, Krasimir Vasilev, Keren Bindon, Agnieszka Mierczynska-Vasilev

“…Tartrate stabilisation is a necessary step in commercial wine production. The traditional method to prevent crystallisation and precipitation of potassium bitartrate (KHT) after a wine is bottled is by adding seed KHT crystals to wine stored in a tank and holding temperatures below 0°C for a set period of time before bottling. …”

Credit Rating Model of Small Enterprises Based on Optimal Discriminant Ability and Its Empirical Study by Zhanjiang Li, Lin Guo

“…The small enterprise credit rating division not only satisfies the principle that the higher the credit grade, the lower the default loss rate, but also satisfies the principle that the credit group of small enterprises matches the credit grade, with credit data of 3111 small enterprises from a commercial bank for empirical analysis. The innovation of this study is the maximum ratio of the sum of the dispersions of credit scores between different credit ratings and the sum of the dispersions of credit scores within the same credit rating as the objective function, as well as the default loss rate of the next credit grade strictly larger than the default loss rate of the previous credit grade as the inequality constraint; a nonlinear credit rating optimal partition model is constructed. …”
