Combining ability and heterosis for yield and grain quality characters in rice (Oryza sativa L.)
Twelve F1 crosses derived from four lines and three testers, crossed in L x T mating design were utilized to estimate the combining ability and heterosis for 17 yield and grain quality traits and also to detect the superior crosses for the breeding ...

Combining ability effects and heterosis estimates in maize (Zea mays L.)
Maize is becoming a crop of huge demand day by day due to its multiple uses but its productivity in farmer’s fields is generally low due to lack of multiple resistant and wider adaptive improved maize hybrids. For development of improved maize hybrids,

Sparse Sensing with Semi-Coprime Arrays
A semi-coprime array (SCA) interleaves two undersampled uniform linear arrays (ULAs) and a $Q$ element standard ULA. The undersampling factors of the first two arrays are $QM$ and $QN$ respectively where $M$ and $N$ are coprime. The resulting non-uniform
