Evaluating general combining ability for agro-morphological traits in tetraploid bahiagrass
Recurrent selection based on combining ability has been successfully used in tetraploid bahiagrass ( Paspalum notatum Flüggé) to accumulate heterotic...

Climate-driven variation in dispersal ability predicts responses to forest fragmentation in birds
Species sensitivity to forest fragmentation varies latitudinally, peaking in the tropics. A prominent explanation for this pattern is that historical...

A novel approach for analysing environmental sustainability aspects of combine harvester through telematics data. Part I: evaluation and analysis of field tests
Combine harvesters (CHs) use a high amount of diesel fuel. Their impact on greenhouse gases and air pollutants is significant. Reducing fuel...

Heart activity perception: narrative review on the measures of the cardiac perceptual ability
Measures of cardiac perceptual ability (also called cardiac accuracy) are methods of cardiac interoception, the perception of bodily sensation...

An investigation of the cognitive and neural correlates of semantic memory search related to creative ability
Creative ideas likely result from searching and combining semantic memory knowledge, yet the mechanisms acting on memory to yield creative ideas...

Combining ability and hybrid breeding in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum [L.] R. Br.) for agronomic traits and resistance to Striga hermonthica
Pearl millet ( Pennisetum glaucum [L.] R. Br., 2n = 2x = 14) is a nutrient-dense and climate-resilient crop widely cultivated in the dry regions of...

General Principles
Observing the behaviour of animals so often leads to the questions: “What?”, “How?”, “Why?”, “When?”, “Who?” and “Where?”. Through formulating such...

Identification of circulating proteins associated with general cognitive function among middle-aged and older adults
Identifying circulating proteins associated with cognitive function may point to biomarkers and molecular process of cognitive impairment. Few...

A breed-of-origin of alleles model that includes crossbred data improves predictive ability for crossbred animals in a multi-breed population
BackgroundRecently, crossbred animals have begun to be used as parents in the next generations of dairy and beef cattle systems, which has increased...

Improvement of prediction ability by integrating multi-omic datasets in barley
BackgroundGenomic prediction (GP) based on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) has become a broadly used tool to increase the gain of selection in...

Phase separation properties of RPA combine high-affinity ssDNA binding with dynamic condensate functions at telomeres
RPA has been shown to protect single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) intermediates from instability and breakage. RPA binds ssDNA with sub-nanomolar affinity,...

Estimating the combining ability and genetic parameters for growth habit, yield, and fiber quality traits in some Egyptian cotton crosses
It is crucial to understand how targeted traits in a hybrid breeding program are influenced by gene activity and combining ability. During the three...
