In this study, three commercial fresh bean cultivars (SF08/03, Ribera and Java) two pole-type lines (Mor Toparlak Beyaz Toparlak) were hybridized (20 hybrid combinations) in accordance with full-diallel analysis method 2016. F 1 generations parents grown fully-automated plant breeding greenhouse of Selcuk University 2017. Measurements, counts, weightings analyses formed to determine height, pod...

Identifying efficient testers for separating maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines into heterotic groups can facilitate the development of superior hybrids. Striga-resistant yellow-maize developed at International Institute Tropical Agriculture (IITA) do not have well established groups. This study was conducted to identify classifying Thirty were crossed with three having varying levels resistance ...

This report investigates an implementation of STKM, a Spatio-Temporal sKeleton Model. STKM expands the Grid Component Model (GCM) with an innovative programmable approach to compose an application by combining component, workflow and skeleton concepts. We explore a projection of the model on top of SCA and its implementation using Tuscany Java SCA. Experimental results show the need and benefit...

The study was carried out to evaluate the combining ability and heterosis of seven parents their 21 half-diallel F2 populations for yield quality traits during 2013-14 season in randomized complete block design with three replications. Significant differences were observed among genotypes, GCA (general ability) SCA (specific effects all traits, except spike length. best combiner identified as E...

Cassava breeding is a critical aspect of sustainable agriculture to address the challenges food security and climate change. The present study aimed assess combining ability six Thai cassava elite varieties for four key traits, including fresh root yield (FRY), shoot (FSY), harvest index (HI) starch content (SC) through an analysis diallel mating design over two years. Parental lines HB80 R5 sh...

The recently cloned c-mpl ligand, thrombopoietin (Tpo), has been extensively characterized with regard to its ability to stimulate the growth, development, and ploidy of megakaryocyte progenitor cells and platelet production in vitro and in vivo. Primitive hematopoietic progenitors have been shown to express c-mpl, the receptor for Tpo. In the present study, we show that Tpo efficiently promote...

Statistical coupling analysis (SCA) is a method for analyzing multiple sequence alignments that was used to identify groups of coevolving residues termed "sectors". The method applies spectral analysis to a matrix obtained by combining correlation information with sequence conservation. It has been asserted that the protein sectors identified by SCA are functionally significant, with different ...

Six diverse homozygous parents, BWR-1, BWR-6-1, BWR-29, BWR-39, EC-464107 and EC-464115 were evaluated for gene action, heritability combining ability using 6X6 diallel cross excluding reciprocals. The results showed that analysis of variance revealed significant differences due to crosses parent’s vs crosses. Mean squares GCA SCA all traits days 50% flowering, first picking, plant height, prim...

Measuring similarity is crucial to many learning tasks. To this end, metric learning has been the dominant paradigm. However, similarity is a richer and broader notion than what metrics entail. For example, similarity can arise from the process of aggregating the decisions of multiple latent components, where each latent component compares data in its own way by focusing on a different subset o...

This research aimed to determine the potentiality of P1 and P2 as parents produce superior strains hybrid cacao by estimating general combining ability (GCA) specific from crossed diallel among high yielding which are resistant P. palmivora . The study was conducted at Experimental Farm Sumber Asin, Malang, East Java, 2010 2018. arranged in Randomized Block Design (RBD) consisted 10 hybrids 5 s...
