Stationary Pyramids: These pyramids showcase an evenly distributed population across age groups, often found in newly-developed countries which have stable birth and mortality rates. Each population pyramid is essentially a visual snapshot of a nation’s current demographic breakdown, shaped by fluctuati...

If the target trait must be further improved, the best elite alleles could be pyramided into one cultivar using multi-round crossing. For example, there were 17 elite alleles detected for GL, and the 8 best elite alleles could be pyramided or substituted by the combination of the accessions...
as participants’ memory of recent food intake can contribute to the good agreement shown in the data. The aim of the FFQ we developed was to assess short-term intake and, thus, we cannot infer or extrapolate to longer periods of intake recall and propose this to be taken into account in...
