Evaluation of genomic and phenomic prediction for application in apple breeding by Michaela Jung, Marius Hodel, Andrea Knauf, Daniela Kupper, Markus Neuditschko, Simone Bühlmann-Schütz, Bruno Studer, Andrea Patocchi, Giovanni AL Broggini

“…Similar average predictive abilities across traits indicate that imputed RADseq data could be a suitable genotyping alternative to SNP array datasets. The best-performing scenario using near-infrared spectroscopy data for phenomic prediction showed a 0.35 decrease in average predictive ability across traits compared to conventional genomic prediction, suggesting that the tested phenomic prediction approach is impractical. …”

Status Epilepticus due to Intraperitoneal Injection of Vehicle Containing Propylene Glycol in Sprague Dawley Rats by Evon S. Ereifej, Seth M. Meade, Cara S. Smith, Keying Chen, Nanette Kleinman, Jeffrey R. Capadona

“…Nine-week-old, 225–250 gram male rats were reported to experience tremor progressing to seizures within minutes after given injections of resveratrol (30 mg/kg) dissolved in a 40 : 60 propylene glycol/corn oil vehicle solution by direct intraperitoneal (IP) slow bolus injection or via a preplaced intraperitoneal catheter. The World Health Organization suggests a maximum dose of 25 mg/kg/day of propylene glycol taken orally and no more than 25 mg/dL in blood serum, whereas the animals used in our study got a calculated maximum 0.52 g/kg (25 times lower dose). …”
