Depression by inbreeding after four sucessive self-pollination squash generations

open access: yesScientia Agricola, 2004
The strategy for breeding F1 hybrid squash is to develop parental lines through self-pollination. However, it increases plant mean homozygosis, which is not the natural genetic state of a cross-pollinated species, and can cause "inbreeding depression ...

‘Everything is a signal’: speaking circuits and noisy signs in the making of language‐oriented AI « Tout est signal » : circuits parlants et signes bruyants dans la création de l'IA orientée langage

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are often presumed to be capable of revealing unmediated truths about the world, including the truths language might hold, echoing the long‐standing assertion that language's primary function is to directly translate reality.

Development, maintenance and seed multiplication of open-pollinated maize varieties

open access: yes, 1999
The procedures for the production of maize hybrid seed and maintenance of parental lines are well documented. However, not much has been written on the development, maintenance, and multiplication of improved open pollinated maize varieties (OPVs).

Cross-and self-pollination to evaluate the yield characteristics in F3 melon (Cucumis melo L.) inbred lines [PDF]

open access: yes
This study aims to determine the percentage of pollination of a combination of cross-pollination and self-pollination in several melon inbred lines and to determine the yield character of the combination of cross-pollination and self-pollination in F3 ...

Putting the Femme in Feminist: Trans Feminism and the ‘Male Lesbian’ in the American Second Wave

open access: yesGender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A slur, a joke or a post‐structuralist case of mistaken identity. To the extent that the male lesbian has been discussed, she has figured dismissively. Yet throughout the period historicised as American feminism's second wave, potentially thousands of trans femmes organised under this identity. Despite being entirely overlooked in scholarship,

Effects of endogamy on microsporogenesis in popcorn

open access: yesCrop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2007
Inbred lines are necessary for the development of popcorn hybrids. Genes for several traits, among them those related to the meiotic process, approach homozygosis during inbreeding.

Poverty lines across the world [PDF]

open access: yes
National poverty lines vary greatly across the world, from under $1 per person per day to over $40 (at 2005 purchasing power parity). What accounts for these huge differences, and can they be understood within a common global definition of poverty?

CARE MATTERS IN THE ENTANGLED COMMONS: Perspectives on a Temporality of Urgency, Knowledge Co‐production and Infrastructures of Sociality in Diverse Urban Contexts

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Experiencing crises, such as the pandemic, has affected infrastructures of sociality and intensified social and spatial inequities while revealing the fragility of systems we depend upon. In this Interventions collection, we collaboratively search for paths toward visionary lifeworlds, taking the entangled commons as a commitment to ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.
