Genotypic and ecological variability of zinc content in the grain of spring bread wheat varieties in the international nursery KASIB by V. P. Shamanin, P. Flis, T. V. Savin, S. S. Shepelev, O. G. Kuzmin, A. S. Chursin, I. V. Pototskaya, I. E. Likhenko, I. Yu. Kushnirenko, A. A. Kazak, V. A. Chudinov, T. V. Shelaeva, A. I. Morgounov

“…The content of zinc in wheat grain was evaluated at the Ionomic Facility of University of Nottingham in the framework of the EU project European Plant Phenotyping Network-2020. The analysis of variance showed that the main contribution into the general phenotypic variation of the studied trait, 38.7 %, was made by the factor ‘location’ due to different contents of zinc and moisture in the soil of trial sites; the effect of the factor ‘year’ was 13.5 %, and the effect of the factor ‘genotype’ was 8.0 %. …”

Investigating the association of traditional and non-traditional tobacco product use with subclinical and clinical cardiovascular disease: The Cross-Cohort Collaboration- Tobacco w... by Erfan Tasdighi, Kunal K. Jha, Zeina A. Dardari, Ngozi Osuji, Tanuja Rajan, Ellen Boakye, Michael E. Hall, Carlos J. Rodriguez, Andrew C. Stokes, Omar El Shahawy, Emelia J. Benjamin, Aruni Bhatnagar, Andrew P. DeFilippis, Michael J. Blaha

“…While the impact of combustible cigarette smoking on cardiovascular disease (CVD) is well-established, the longitudinal association of non-traditional tobacco products with subclinical and clinical CVD has not been fully explored due to: 1) limited data availability; and 2) the lack of well-phenotyped prospective cohorts. Therefore, there is the need for sufficiently powered well-phenotyped datasets to fully elucidate the CVD risks associated with non-cigarette tobacco products. …”
