Population genetics of maize domestication, adaptation, and improvementjrossibarra
The domestication of maize ~10,000 years ago resulted in dramatic differentiation from its wild ancestor teosinte. Subsequently, maize spread rapidly across the Americas, adapting to a number of new environments. Beginning in the 20th century, maize has also been subjected to intensive artificial selection by breeders. Each of these periods of adaptation have left their mark on patterns of genetic diversity. I will discuss some of our recent work using population genetics to learn about the history and process of adaptation in maize.
JGI: Genome size impacts on plant adaptationjrossibarra
Genome size may impact how plant genomes adapt, offering larger mutational targets leading to more adaptation from standing variation and more adaptation in noncoding regions.

Genetic Variability, Heritability and Genetic Advance Analysis in Upland Rice...Premier Publishers
The experiment was conducted to assess genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance for yield and yield related traits in some upland rice genotypes. A total of 23 rice genotypes were evaluated in a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2017 at Pawe and Assosa. Analysis of variance revealed significant difference among the genotypes for most of the traits at individual and across locations, and error variances of the two locations were homogenous for most of the traits including grain yield. Moreover, the genotypes showed wider variability for grain yield in the range between 3707-6241kg/ha, 4853-7282kg/ha and 4280-6761kg/ha at Pawe, Assosa and over locations, respectively. A relatively high (>20%) phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variations were estimated merely for number of unfilled grains per panicle. High heritability estimates (> 60%) were obtained for all of the traits, except plant height and Protein content. A relatively high genetic advance was obtained for traits like unfilled grains per panicle and fertile tiller per plant. Thus, this study revealed that there was higher genetic variability among the tested genotypes, which could be potentially exploited in future breeding programs.

Genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance, genetic advance as percen...Premier Publishers
Field experiment was conducted to estimate genetic variability, heritability, genetic advance, genetic advance as a percent mean and character association for forty nine genotypes of Ethiopian mustards collected from different agro ecologies. The experiment was carried out in a simple lattice design. The analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences among genotypes for all traits compared. The significant difference indicates the existence of genetic variability among the accessions which is important for improvement. High genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variations were observed in seed yield per plot, oil yield per plot, and plant height. This shows that selection of these traits based on phenotype may be useful for yield improvement. The highest heritability in broad sense was recorded for thousand seed weight (68.80%) followed by days to flowering (65.91%), stand percent (63.14%), linolenic acid(62.58%), days to maturity (60.43%), plant height (59.63%), palmitic acid (58.19%), linoleic acid (57.46%),oil content (50.33%), oil yield (44.84%), seed yield per plot(42.99%),and primary branches(34.20%). This suggests that large proportion of the total variance was due to the high genotypic and less environmental variance. In the correlation coefficient analysis, seed yield per plot showed positive correlation with oil content, oil yield, plant height and seed yield per plant. In the path analysis, number of primary branches and oil yield showed positive direct effect on seed yield per plot. In this study, seed yield per plot, oil content, oil yield and primary branches were found to be the most important components for the improvement of seed and oil. Therefore more emphasis should be given for highest heritable traits of mustard and to those positively correlated traits to improve these characters using the tested genotypes.
Comparative genomic analysis in Zingiberales: what can we learn from banana to enable Ensete and Boesenbergia to reach their potential?

Within the Zingiberales there are many orphan crops that are grown in Africa and Asia where recently started genomic efforts will have an impact for the future understanding and breeding of these crops. Advanced genomics and genome knowledge of the taxonomically closely related genus Musa will help identify genes and their function. We will discuss relevant recent work with Musa and results from DNA sequencing, examinations of diversity and studies of genome structure, gene expression and epigenetic control in Boesenbergia and ensete. Ensete is an important starch staple food in Ethiopia. It is harvested just as the monocarpic plant starts to flower, a few years after planting, and the stored starch extracted from the pseudo-stem and corm. A genome sequence has been published, but there is little genomics. Characterization of the diversity in the species and understanding of the differences to Musa will enable selection and breeding for crop improvement to meet the requirements of increasing populations, climate change and environmental sustainability. Boesenbergia rotunda is widely used in traditional medicine in Asia and has been shown to produce secondary metabolites with antiviral activity. For high throughput propagation and metabolite production in vitro culture is employed; embryogenic calli of B. rotunda in vitro are able to regenerate into plants but lose this ability after prolonged periods in cell suspension media. Epigenetic factors, including histone modifications and DNA methylation are likely to play crucial roles in the regulation of genes involved in totipotency and plant regeneration. These findings are also relevant to other crops within the Zingiberales. Further details will be given at www.molcyt.com
Deleterious alleles have played an important role in the evolution of maize and teosinte. Although they vary in their strength and effect across populations or environments, such mutations have played a role in local adaptation in teosinte, the accumulation of load during domestication and dispersal of maize, local adaptation of maize landraces, and ultimately in hybrid vigor for agronomic traits in breeding programs.

Estimation of association among growth and yield related traits in Bread Whea...Premier Publishers
A total of twenty five bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes were evaluated for trait association and path coefficient analysis among yield and yield contributing traits at Gurage zone of two different environments. The genotypes were grown in triplicate randomized complete block design. Data were collected on 13 agronomic characters. It was found results that grain yield showed positive and significant correlations with above ground biomass, tillers per plant, kernel per spike, spikelet per spike and plant height at Fereziye and negatively correlated with tiller per plant (rg= -0.535) and plant height (rg= -0.284) at Kotergedra. Selection on the basis of positive association of grain yield with its contributing traits may be helpful to improve grain yield of wheat. Path coefficient analysis revealed that above ground biomass and tillers per plant exerted high and favorable direct effects on grain yield at Fereziye. Both genotypic and phenotypic correlation and path coefficient analysis revealed that grain filling period exerted high and favorable direct effect on grain yield at Kotergedra which indicated that selection on such traits may be useful to improve the grain yield. It was moreover suggested that the evaluation of wheat genotypes for grain yield under multi-zonal locations should be carried out to exploit more yield potential.

Project Overview: Ecological & Evolutionary Genetics of Southwestern White Pi...Justin C. Bagley
Provides a brief overview of our project on the ecological and evolutionary genetics of southwestern white pine (SWWP), an alpine white pine distributed in the sky-islands of the North American desert southwest.
The climbing vine kudzu, a member of the leguminous
pea family (Fabaceae), was introduced into the USA
from its native Asia in the 1800s. It was initially lauded
for efficacy in erosion control along highways and as a
high-quality grazing crop for livestock. P. montana var.
lobata has since become a truculent invasive, spreading
via vegetative runners and seed dispersal. Seven
million acres of the American southeast are now
plagued by this vine.

Adaptation in plant genomes: bigger is differentjrossibarra
Here we have proposed the functional space hypothesis, positing that mutational target size scales with genome size, impacting the number, source, and genomic location of beneficial mutations that contribute to adaptation. Though motivated by preliminary evidence, mostly from Arabidopsis and maize, more data are needed before any rigorous assessment of the hypothesis can be made. If correct, the functional space hypothesis suggests that we should expect plants with large genomes to exhibit more functional mutations outside of genes, more regulatory variation, and likely less signal of strong selective sweeps reducing diversity. These differences have implications for how we study the evolution and development of plant genomes, from where we should look for signals of adaptation to what patterns we expect adaptation to leave in genetic diversity or gene expression data. While flowering plant genomes vary across more than three orders of magnitude in size, most studies of both functional and evolutionary genomics have focused on species at the extreme small edge of this scale. Our hypothesis predicts that methods and results from these small genomes may not replicate well as we begin to explore large plant genomes. Finally, while we have focused here on evidence from plant genomes, we see no a priori reason why similar arguments might not hold in other taxa as well.
Parallel Altitudinal Clines Reveal Adaptive Evolution Of Genome Size In Zea maysjrossibarra
While the vast majority of genome size variation in plants is due to differences in repetitive sequence, we know little about how selection acts on repeat content in natural populations. Here we investigate parallel changes in intraspecific genome size and repeat content of domesticated maize (Zea mays) landraces and their wild relative teosinte across altitudinal gradients in Mesoamerica and South America. We combine genotyping, low coverage whole-genome sequence data, and flow cytometry to test for evidence of selection on genome size and individual repeat abundance. We find that population structure alone cannot explain the observed variation, implying that clinal patterns of genome size are maintained by natural selection. Our modeling additionally provides evidence of selection on individual heterochromatic knob repeats, likely due to their large individual contribution to genome size. To better understand the phenotypes driving selection on genome size, we conducted a growth chamber experiment using a population of highland teosinte exhibiting extensive variation in genome size. We find weak support for a positive correlation between genome size and cell size, but stronger support for a negative correlation between genome size and the rate of cell production. Reanalyzing published data of cell counts in maize shoot apical meristems, we then identify a negative correlation between cell production rate and flowering time. Together, our data suggest a model in which variation in genome size is driven by natural selection on flowering time across altitudinal clines, connecting intraspecific variation in repetitive sequence to important differences in adaptive phenotypes.
Adaptive evolution of genome size across altitudinal clines in maizejrossibarra
Genome size in plants can vary by orders of magnitude, but this variation has long been considered to be of little to no functional consequence.
Studying three independent adaptations to high elevation in Zea mays, we find that genome size experiences parallel pressure from natural selection, causing a linear reduction in genome size with increasing altitude.
Though reductions in repetitive content are responsible for the genome size change, we find that repeats are not targeted uniformly, but that the same repetitive sequences are removed as Z. mays taxa move to higher altitude.
To identify the phenotype influenced by genome size, we study how 20% variation in genome size in a single teosinte population impacts leaf growth.
We find that genome size variation correlates negatively with cell production rate but not cell size, suggesting that individuals with larger genomes require longer to complete a mitotic cycle.
We reanalyze data from maize inbreds to show that slower cell production can lead to a delay in flowering time, suggesting that genome size can be used as a developmental clock to help adapt maize to different altitudes.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.
Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.
DERIVATION OF MODIFIED BERNOULLI EQUATION WITH VISCOUS EFFECTS AND TERMINAL V...Wasswaderrick3
In this book, we use conservation of energy techniques on a fluid element to derive the Modified Bernoulli equation of flow with viscous or friction effects. We derive the general equation of flow/ velocity and then from this we derive the Pouiselle flow equation, the transition flow equation and the turbulent flow equation. In the situations where there are no viscous effects , the equation reduces to the Bernoulli equation. From experimental results, we are able to include other terms in the Bernoulli equation. We also look at cases where pressure gradients exist. We use the Modified Bernoulli equation to derive equations of flow rate for pipes of different cross sectional areas connected together. We also extend our techniques of energy conservation to a sphere falling in a viscous medium under the effect of gravity. We demonstrate Stokes equation of terminal velocity and turbulent flow equation. We look at a way of calculating the time taken for a body to fall in a viscous medium. We also look at the general equation of terminal velocity.

Figure S1. Properties of TE insertions that condition stress-responsive expression. (A) In our initial
screening we only analyzed TE insertions located within 1kb of the TSS. Here we assessed the
proportion of genes that exhibit stress-responsive expression for TE insertions located at different
distances from the TSS (for the stress condition most associated with each TE family). Some of the TE
families appear to only affect genes if they are inserted quite near the TSS while others can have
influences at distances. (B) The CBF/DREB transcription factors have been associated with stress-responsive

Results
We examined the level of LD in each of the three subspecies
of Z. mays with a genome-wide set of 941 SNPs from 2782
samples. Using computationally phased genotypic data, we
searched for pairs of markers in high LD (r2 . 0.6) and
separated by .1 Mb. Our scan identified two such regions,
an !50-Mb region on chromosome 1 and an !15-Mb span
of chromosome 8. Because the region on chromosome 8 is
near a likely assembly error in the reference genome (J.
Glaubitz, unpublished data), we focused our analysis on
chromosome 1. The region of high LD on chromosome 1
in our data corresponds closely to the 65- to 115-Mb region
on the physical map of the reference mays genome (B73
RefGen v2, release 5a.59, 2010–2011) recently reported
by Hufford et al. (2012) as a putative inversion. Our data
reveal high LD (mean r2 = 0.24) among the 17 SNPs from
Mb 65.09 to 106.16 (Figure 1), compared to a genome-wide
average of 0.004. Gametic disequilibrium, as estimated from
unphased SNP genotyping data, also demonstrates this ex-cess

of parviglumis genotyped using the 55,000 SNPs on the

unexpected, and while parviglumis and mexicana show
evidence of high LD in this chromosomal region, levels
of LD in our large sample of domesticated mays are similar
to genome-wide averages (Figure 1). Other wild taxa also
do not show an excess of LD on the short arm of chromo-some
ascertainment bias. Finally, a recent genetic map from
a BC2S3 population derived from a cross between a mays
line and a parviglumis line with the putatively inverted
arrangement shows no crossovers inside the !50-Mb span

Inv1n common and old
Fang et al. 2012 Genetics
60. Inv1n: selection and associations
homozygous for alternate arrangements (Mano et al. 2012),
we view these multiple lines of evidence as a strong case that
recombination is suppressed due to an inversion in this re-gion,
henceforth identified as Inv1n.
To test for evidence of pairing and recombination within
the large Inv1n region, we examined male meiocytes from
six F1 plants derived from two crosses between mays and an
inbred parviglumis line containing Inv1n. Both hybrids
revealed a low frequency of dicentric bridge formation at
!4% (7/167), but no acentric fragments were observed
(Table S5). Although such bridges were rare, an anaphase
I bridge in a plant heterozygous for Inv1n was observed
(Figure S1). In addition, we observed no obvious reduction
in pollen viability or seed set in a total of five F1 plants (data
not shown).
Haplotype variation and divergence time
STRUCTURE (Pritchard et al. 2000; Falush et al. 2003) anal-ysis
of SNPs on all 1936 parviglumis chromosomes inside
Inv1n shows the highest likelihood for K = 2 clusters, a pat-tern
not seen from the full set of genome-wide SNPs (data
not shown). These groups are hereafter referred to as Inv1n-I
and Inv1n-S for the inverted and standard arrangements,
respectively (Figure 2). Recombination among loci within a
chromosomal arrangement should be unaffected, and levels
of LD within Inv1n-I (mean r2 = 0.11) and Inv1n-S arrange-ments
(mean r2 = 0.07) are indeed low and similar to back-ground
levels (Figure S2). Average FST between chromosomes
with alternate arrangements is notably higher inside the Inv1n
region (0.54) than across the rest of the genome (0.01) (Fig-ure
1). Genetic distance among accessions for SNPs along
chromosome 1 outside the Inv1n region shows little evidence
of haplotype structure (Figure 3A), while genetic distance for
SNPs inside Inv1n divides parviglumis into two clear haplo-typic
groups representing Inv1n-I and Inv1n-S (Figure 3B).
The Inv1n-S cluster includes all taxa of Zea and Tripsacum in-vestigated,
and it is parsimonious to assume that the Inv1n-I
cluster, present only in parviglumis and mexicana, represents
the derived inverted arrangement (Figure 3C). Despite strong
differentiation, the two arrangements share polymorphic SNPs
(Figure 2), even in homozygous individuals unaffected by hap-lotype

phasing (data not shown). Among the 968 parviglumis
samples, 345 (35.6%) are heterozygous at Inv1n, while 369

Separate plots for diploids and polyploids show nucleotypic effect on CCT in diploids (Fig. 3; Removing the five diploid outliers (.25 pg) reduced slope (b ¼ 0.27) by approximately four-fold regression continued to be significant (P, 0.001). the polyploids, a nucleotypic effect on CCT detected (Fig. 3; Table 2); however, removing the outliers rendered the regression non-significant 0.03x 2 13.5). This confirms previous work in slope/rate of increase in CCT with increasing higher in diploids than in autopolyploids (Evans 1972). With the exception of Scilla sibirica, CCT excluded. Indeed, if we ignore the marked discontinuity
of the y-axis caused by their inclusion, then the nucleotypic
effect is strong for all species regardless of phylogeny. test the rigour of these hypotheses would require plug the gap between Trillium grandiflorum majority of C-value/cell cycle times analysed here.

• simple scenarios of strong selection on new
protein-coding mutations are probably rare
• much adaptation occurs via selection on
quantitative traits, standing variation, and/or
multiple mutations
• noncoding, structural variation likely play
important roles in adaptation
