Whether to develop inbred cultivars or F1 hybrids is a dilemma faced by many rice (Oryza sativa L.) breeders. This could be partially answered if one could select superior recombinant inbred lines with an equal yielding ability and good quality traits from commercial F1 hybrids. Thus, it was attempted in this study to select superior inbred lines from 2 commercial F1 hybrids after application o...

In this paper we consider the extent of our knowledge of global beetle diversity. Depending on the estimates adopted, some 70–95% of all beetle species remain to be formally described, and at the current rate of progress it could be more than 200 years until the task is completed. One of the reasons for this is the difficulty of adequately sampling tropical beetle faunas and thereby ensuring su...

Csiro Hypertext Research Project

This paper described the archtecture of a hyperdocument system intended to provide access to a coherent body of knowledge, consisting of structured knowledge, text, graphics, data and executable models. The main focus of the research is in intermediate structure added to the documents to support the links between the structured knowledge and the textual knowledge. The system is implemented in a...
