'Meixue Zhou'] Selection of parents based on their combining ability is an effective approach in hybrid breeding. In this study, eight maintainer lines and nine restorer lines were used to obtain 72 crosses for analyzing the general combining ability (GCA) and special combining ability (SCA) for seven agronomic and…

'Xingfei Zheng' 'Zhongli Hu' 'Christian Schönbach'] Background Combining ability effects are very effective genetic parameters in deciding the next phase of breeding programs. Although some breeding strategies on the basis of evaluating combining ability have been utilized extensively in hybrid breeding, little is…

'Zhuanfang Hao' 'Mingshun Li' 'Degui Zhang' 'Hongjun Yong' 'Hanyong Zhu' 'Jianfeng Weng' 'Xinhai Li'] Maize plant height related traits including plant height, ear height, and internode number are tightly linked with biomass, planting density, and grain yield in the field. Previous studies have focused on understanding…

A comparison among two forms of half-diallel analysis was made. The different half-diallel techniques used were Griffing's model I, method 2 and 4. These methods of diallel analysis were found to be interrelated. However, as Griffing's model I, method 4 partitioned heterosis into different components as well as gave…

Present investigation was carried out to assess the heterotic potential and combining ability of immortal restorer lines [consisting of two recombinant inbred lines (RILs) and two doubled haploid lines (DHLs)] developed from an elite rice hybrid, KRH-2 by crossing them with three popular WA-CMS lines, IR58025A, CRMS32A…

Objective Combining ability analysis forms the basis for selecting suitable parents and hybrid combinations. The performance of combining ability is influenced significantly by environmental conditions. Therefore, it is essential to comprehensively evaluate advantageous parents and hybrid combinations through…

Twenty hybrids along with five parents evaluated in the study were mainly contemplated to find out the best cross combinations and the best general and specific combiners as well as to estimate the nature and magnitude of the gene action for different qualitative traits. Using Griffing’s and Hayman’s approach through a…

'Qi Guo' 'Xiaojuan Zhang' 'Xinqi Fan' 'Yuxiang Wu' 'Qingshan Liu' 'Mehdi Rahimi'] In sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], combining ability and heterosis analysis are commonly used to evaluate superior parental lines and to screen for strongly heterotic hybrids, which helps in sorghum variety selection and breeding.…

The current theoretical knowledge concerning the influence of epistasis on heterosis is based on simplified multiplicative model. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of epistasis in the heterosis and combining ability analyses, assuming additive model, hundreds of genes, linkage disequilibrium (LD)…

Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved high accuracy on complex commonsense and mathematical problems that involve the composition of multiple reasoning steps. However, current compositional benchmarks testing these skills tend to focus on either commonsense or math reasoning, whereas LLM agents solving real-world…

Modifiable combining functions are a synthesis of two general approaches to combining evidence. Because they facilitate the acquisition, representation, explanation, and modification of expert knowledge about combinations of evidence, they are presented as a device for knowledge engineers, not as a normative theory of…

In Chemoinformatics, as in many other computational-related disciplines, it is a common practice to identify the “single best” approach or methodology, for instance, identify the best fingerprint representation, the best single virtual screening approach or protocol, the optimal representation of the chemical space…

Humans are skilled at making sense of novel combinations of concepts, so to create artifical languages for implementation in AI systems, we must model this ability. Standard approaches to combining concepts, e.g. fuzzy set theory, have been shown to be inadequate [Osherson and Smith, 1981]. Composite labels frequently…

In this work, we explore the limitations of combining models by averaging intermediate features, referred to as model merging, and propose a new direction for achieving collective model intelligence through what we call compatible specialization. Current methods for model merging, such as parameter and feature…

From the earliest days of using natural remedies to modern applications of clinically tested medications, combining therapies for disease treatment has been standard practice. Combination treatments can exhibit synergistic effects, broadly defined as a greater-than-additive effect of two or more therapeutic agents.…

'Caiming Xiong' 'Bryan Hooi' 'Junnan Li'] Large reasoning models (LRMs) already possess a latent capacity for long chainof-thought reasoning. Prior work has shown that outcome-based reinforcement learning (RL) can incidentally elicit advanced reasoning behaviors such as selfcorrection, backtracking, and…

Many Artificial Intelligence tasks cannot be evaluated with a single quality criterion and some sort of weighted combination is needed to provide system rankings. A problem of weighted combination measures is that slight changes in the relative weights may produce substantial changes in the system rankings. This paper…

Synergy between antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) may be the key to their evolutionary success and could be exploited to develop more potent antibacterial agents. One of the factors thought to be essential for AMP potency is their conformational flexibility, but characterizing the diverse conformational states of AMPs…

Dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC) creates libraries of molecules that are constantly interchanging in a dynamic combinatorial library. When a library member self-assembles, it can displace the equilibria, leading to emergent phenomena like its selection or even its replication. However, such dynamic combinatorial…

Self-assembly of nano-building blocks has emerged as a key tool to direct the arrangement and the collective properties of nanomaterials. Nevertheless, the lack of control over larger length scales when nanomaterials are processed typically leads to defects which scale with the dimensions of the specimen. This…

The search for sustainable resources has led to the use of biodegradable natural fibres in composites. As of now, no study has been performed on the fabrication of hybrid natural fiber green composite through coupling agent modification. Thus, this study investigates the fabrication of green composites using a hybrid…
