Studies on combining ability and gene action for yield and quality traits in Baby corn (Zea mays L.) [PDF]
An investigation was carried out to assess the combining ability and nature of gene action in baby corn (Zea mays L.) genotypes, by making crosses of eight inbred lines namely, HKI 3209, SML 1, EC 595979, CM 128, VQL 1, G 18 seq C5 F 76-2-2-1-1-2-BBB ...

Inheritance of partial resistance to Septoria tritici in wheat (Triticum aestivum): limitation of pycnidia and spore production [PDF]
The aim of this work was to study the gene effects of two components of partial resistance (pycnidia.cm and spore production.mL-1) in a semi-diallel cross of four wheat cultivars differing in susceptibility to Septoria tritici.

Estimation of variances of the effects of incomplete diallels using a matrix approach
A matrix approach is described for assessing the variance of effects in incomplete diallels designs. The method is illustrated by reference to simulated complete and incomplete diallels using different combinations of constraints, average degree of ...

Combining ability studies in Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) [PDF]
An attempt was made to study the general and specific combining ability in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) through L X Tanalysis with ten lines and four testers. Eight characters viz., days to 50 per cent flowering, plant height, number of branches perplant,

General and specific combining ability in tropical winter cauliflower [PDF]
ABSTRACT Few Brazilian cauliflower cultivars have shown to be adapted to tropical winter conditions. In addition, studies to obtain hybrids adapted to our winter conditions, from breeding lines originating from tropical regions, are scarce. The objective of this work was to estimate the combining ability of cauliflower breeding lines.

3D Microfluidic model for evaluating immunotherapy efficacy by tracking dendritic cell behaviour toward tumor cells [PDF]
Immunotherapy efficacy relies on the crosstalk within the tumor microenvironment between cancer and dendritic cells (DCs) resulting in the induction of a potent and effective antitumor response.
