Comparison of methods for evaluating genetic differentiation of populations by microsatellite markers by V. M. Kuznetsov

“…Methods of groups A, B, and C (GDN and uGDN) were used to calculate paired genetic distances in the samples. Despite significant dif-ferences in estimates, the Mantel test showed a high degree of correspondence of the genetic distance matrices (RM≥0.97; pperm < 0.001), which was manifested in the projections of genetic relations of breed samples on plane 1 and 2 of the principal coordinates. …”

Flavor quality characteristics of Sichuan Xiaoqu Baijiu from different production areas by XU Yuecheng, LUO Yue, ZHONG Ciping, HE Yuan, WU Yinghuan, YI Xin, CHEN Yanmei

“…Combined with orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), the key aroma substances (OAV&gt;1) and key differential flavor substances (VIP≥1, P&lt;0.05) were screened by odor activity value (OAV) and variable importance projection (VIP) values. The results showed that 98 kinds of volatile flavor compounds were identified in Xiaoqu Baijiu samples from different production areas, including 28 kinds of common volatile flavor compounds and 11 kinds of characteristic flavor substances (detected in only one sample). …”
