Zeno and Anti-Zeno Effects in Driven Josephson Junctions: Control of Macroscopic Quantum Tunneling
We show that the slowing down or speeding up of the decay of a quasibound state to the continuum are realizable by current-bias modulation in Josephson junctions (and their analogs in atomic condensates).

Selection for aneuploid potato hybrids combining a low wild genome content and resistance traits from Solanum commersonii
A breeding scheme based on the production of progenies with odd ploidy was followed to introduce useful genes from the wild Solanum commersonii (cmm) into S. tuberosum (tbr) genome. Hybrids from 5x × 4x crosses w...

Glycoalkaloids and acclimation capacity of hybrids between Solanum tuberosum and the incongruent hardy species Solanum commersonii
F1 and backcross hybrids between sexually incompatible species Solanum commersonii and Solanum tuberosum were characterized for glycoalkaloid content and capacity to cold acclimate. Glycoalkaloid (GA) analysis r...

Evidence for tetrasomic inheritance in a tetraploid Solanum commersonii (+) S. tuberosum somatic hybrid through the use of molecular markers
In order to assess the potential for interspecific recombination between the cultivated Solanum tuberosum (tbr) and the sexually isolated wild species Solanum commersonii (cmm), genetic analysis of a F2 progeny o...

Molecular marker-assisted introgression of the wild Solanum commersonii genome into the cultivated S. tuberosum gene pool
A breeding scheme involving ploidy and EBN manipulations was set up to overcome the interspecific barriers existing between the cultivated Solanum tuberosum and the wild species S. commersonii. Three backcross ge...
