Mendel's Search for True-Breeding Hybrids [PDF]

Journal of Heredity, 2008
It has been widely believed that Gregor Mendel’s experiments with peas (genus Pisum) were designed to discover the basic principles of heredity (genetics). Those more familiar with the history of genetics know that his work with peas sought to explain the laws governing the origin and development of hybrids (Hartl and Orel 1992, p.

A Workflow to Accelerate Microstructure‐Sensitive Fatigue Life Predictions

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a workflow to accelerate predictions of microstructure‐sensitive fatigue life. Results from frameworks with varying levels of simplification are benchmarked against published reference results. The analysis reveals a trade‐off between accuracy and model complexity, offering researchers a practical guide for selecting the optimal ...

Genome-Wide Identification and Salt Stress-Responsive Expression Analysis of the GmPLATZ Gene Family in Soybean (Glycine max L.)

Plants
The plant-specific PLATZ transcription factors play crucial roles in plant growth, development, and responses to abiotic stresses. However, despite their functional significance, PLATZ genes remain poorly characterized in soybeans.

Additive Gaussian Process Regression for Predictive Design of High‐Performance, Printable Silicones

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A chemistry‐aware design framework for tuning printable polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) for vat photopolymerization (VPP) is developed using additive Gaussian process (GP) modeling. Polymer network mechanics informs variable groupings, feasible formulation constraints, and interaction variables.

Heterosis and Hybrid Crop Breeding: A Multidisciplinary Review

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Although hybrid crop varieties are among the most popular agricultural innovations, the rationale for hybrid crop breeding is sometimes misunderstood. Hybrid breeding is slower and more resource-intensive than inbred breeding, but it allows systematic ...

A Simplified Laminar Flow Model for the Pultrusion of Glass Fiber/Polyethylene Terephthalate Commingled Yarns

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A simplified thermoplastic pultrusion model is developed to predict thermal fields in glass fiber/polyethylene terephthalate (GF/PET) composites with reduced computational cost. By combining effective material homogenization, validation against literature data, and Gaussian‐process‐based optimization, the study reveals how heating limits, pulling speed,

THE HYBRID RICE "BREEDING BY DESIGN"

, 2023
The hybrid rice "breeding by design" aims to develop and expand 2-line hybrid rice technology using Thermosensitive Genic Male Sterile (TGMS) in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and ensure that through private companies and public institutions in Africa, this technology reaches farmers and increases their rice yields and income streams.
