Problems and possibilities of studying malting quality in barley using molecular genetic approaches by N. V. Trubacheeva, L. A. Pershina

“…Currently, there are more than 200 QTLs associated with malting parameters, which were identified using biparental mapping populations. Molecular markers are widely used both for mapping QTL loci responsible for malting quality traits and for performing marker-assisted selection (MAS), which, in combination with conventional breeding, makes it possible to create effective strategies aimed at accelerating the process of obtaining new promising genotypes. …”

Cross-culturally adapted psychological interventions for the treatment of depression and/or anxiety among young people: A scoping review. by Masuma Pervin Mishu, Lucy Tindall, Philip Kerrigan, Lina Gega

“…Psychological interventions may improve mental health, yet most are developed in western cultures, and it is unclear whether they are applicable to other geographical settings and can be delivered successfully to diverse populations. We identified empirical studies focusing upon cross-culturally adapted psychological interventions and examined the cultural adaptation process used and the effectiveness of the interventions in the treatment of depression and/or anxiety disorders among young people (defined here as children and adolescents aged between 8-18 years).…”
