Bananas, one of the most valued fruits worldwide, are produced in more than 135 countries tropics and subtropics for local consumption export due to their tremendous nutritional value ease access. The genetic improvement commercial crops is a crucial strategy managing pests or other diseases abiotic stress factors. Although conventional breeding has developed new hybrids with highly productive ...

In this paper I examine some of the factors influencing technology development and attempt to explain whether CLIA '88 enhances the opportunities or exacerbates the problems for U.S.-based technology development. The viewpoint I express is concentrated on the clinical chemistry segment of the diagnostics arena.

this study was carried out to investigate the direct and indirect responses to selection for four-week body weight (4 week body (wk bw)) and four-week breast weight (4 week breast weight (wk brw)) and to determine the genetic contribution of reminder founders to the last generation. a total number of 351 birds were equally allocated to three lines, including two selected lines (s1 and s2 for bw...

This paper overviews the application of Search Based Software Engineering (SBSE) to reverse engineering with a particular emphasis on the growing importance of recent developments in genetic programming and genetic improvement for reverse engineering. This includes work on SBSE for remodularisation, refactoring, regression testing, syntax-preserving slicing and dependence analysis, concept assi...
