RECURRENT SELECTION FOR SPECIFIC COMBINING ABILITY FOR YIELD IN FOUR SLICING CUCUMBER POPULATIONS [PDF]
HortScience, 1996 Plant breeders often measure selection progress for yield by measuring the hybrid performance (combining ability) of a breeding line. This information is used to develop breeding lines with higher combining ability. The objectives of this study were to measure the specific combining ability for yield traits over three selection cycles from four slicing

Cosmic Information, the Cosmological Constant and the Amplitude of primordial perturbations
, 2017 A unique feature of gravity is its ability to control the information accessible to any specific observer. We quantify the notion of cosmic information ('CosmIn') for an eternal observer in the universe.
