A Boolean Gene Regulatory Model of heterosis and speciation [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology 2015, 15:24, 2013 Modelling genetic phenomena affecting biological traits is important for the development of agriculture as it allows breeders to predict the potential of breeding for certain traits. One such phenomenon is heterosis or hybrid vigor: crossing individuals from genetically distinct populations often results in improvements in quantitative traits, such as ...

Sustainable improvement of seeds vigor using dry atmospheric plasma priming: evidence through coating wettability, water uptake and plasma reactive chemistry [PDF]
J. Appl. Phys., Vol. 129, Issue 8, 084902, 2021, 2021 Lentil seeds have been packed in a dielectric barrier device and exposed for several minutes to a cold atmospheric plasma generated in helium with/without a reactive gas (nitrogen or oxygen). While no impact is evidenced on germination rates (caping nearly at 100% with/without plasma exposure), seeds vigor is clearly improved with a median germination ...

Studies on the Molecular Basis of Heterosis in Arabidopsis thaliana and Vegetable Crops
Horticulturae, 2023 Heterosis is an important phenomenon for high-yield crop breeding and is utilized for breeding F1 varieties in horticultural crops. However, its molecular mechanism has not been elucidated, and compared to cereals, heterosis is less explored at the ...

Vigorous thermal excitations in a double-tetrahedral chain of localized Ising spins and mobile electrons mimic a temperature-driven first-order phase transition [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 91 (2015) 0222134, 2014 A hybrid spin-electron system defined on one-dimensional double-tetrahedral chain, in which the localized Ising spin regularly alternates with two mobile electrons delocalized over a triangular plaquette, is exactly solved with the help of generalized decoration-iteration transformation.

Heterosis in sweet sorghum [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2018 : The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential per se of male-sterile and fertility-restorer lines of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), as well as to detail the heterosis manifested for some traits directly or indirectly related to ethanol ...

Convective outgassing efficiency in planetary magma oceans: insights from computational fluid dynamics [PDF]
, 2022 Planetary atmospheres are commonly thought to result from the efficient outgassing of cooling magma oceans. During this stage, vigorous convective motions in the molten interior are believed to rapidly transport the dissolved volatiles to shallow depths where they exsolve and burst at the surface.
