Breeding Autumn-Fruiting Raspberries

Journal of the American Pomological Society, 1949
Autumn-fruiting, or so-called everbearing, raspberries have long been known in this country and abroad. Many have been introduced from time to time and they occur in the wild. Most of the more important varieties, except Ranere, were polyploids. All were very similar and had certain characteristics in common which were undesirable from the pomological ...

Exploiting Ferroelectric and Spintronic Dynamics for Neural Network Computation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Ferroelectric and spintronic devices, relying on the control of polarization and magnetization, offer intrinsically fast, durable, energy‐efficient, and low‐latency building blocks for analog in‐memory computing. The hysteretic dynamics of an order parameter are leveraged to provide nonvolatile, multistate memory and nonlinear switching. Brain‐inspired

Stone Fruit Breeding in Lithuania

Journal of the American Pomological Society, 1995
European plum ( Prunus domestica), sour cherry ( Prunus cerasus), sweet cherry ( Prunus avium), apricot (Prunus armeniaca) — in that order — are widely grown in Lithuania, but varieties are restricted due to cyclical cold winters (-35°C) every 11-12 years.

Lost in aggregation? On the importance of local food price data for food poverty estimates

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores within‐country variations in food price dynamics and food poverty estimates by employing local market price data and national consumer price index (CPI) data. Our results show that national CPI data may be useful for approximating national trends but they fail to detect and identify spatial variations in local trends, which

InDel Markers for Identifying Interspecific Hybrid Offspring of Apple and Pear

Plants
Distant hybridization, such as between apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) and pear (Pyrus communis L.), can introduce unique genetic traits that aren’t possible through traditional hybridization methods.
