The aim was to assess heterosis in a set of 16 summer-squash hybrids, and evaluate the combining capacity of the respective parental lines, which differed as to the degree of parthenocarpy and resistance to PRSV-W (Papaya Ringspot Virus-Watermelon strain). The hybrids were obtained using a partial diallel cross design (4 × 4). The lines of parental group I were 1 = ABX-037G-77-03-05-01-01-bulk,...

Abstract The burrowing nematode Radopholus similis is among the most damaging pathogens. Resistant plants are one of promising approaches for control, and knowledge resistance aggressiveness components essential to understand genetics developing new cultivars. Therefore, this study aimed assess degree eight banana accessions populations R. verify differences in reproduction capacity between hor...

BACKGROUND Two potencies of gelatin capsules containing Lactobacillus crispatus CTV-05 were evaluated for safety and vaginal colonization in 90 young women. METHODS Sexually active females aged 14-21 years were randomized to receive either 10(6)- or 10(8)-cfu CTV-05 capsules inserted intravaginally twice daily for 3 days. At enrollment and at 4 weekly follow-up visits, behavioral and demograp...

Let p(n) denote the ordinary partition function. Subbarao conjectured that in every arithmetic progression r (mod t) there are infinitely many integers N ≡ r (mod t) for which p(N) is even, and infinitely many integers M ≡ r (mod t) for which p(M) is odd. In the even case the conjecture was settled by Ken Ono. In this paper we prove the odd part of the conjecture which together with Ono’s resul...

In a recent paper Folsom and Ono constructed a grid of Poincaré series of weights 3/2 and 1/2. They conjectured that the coefficients of the holomorphic parts of these series are rational integers. We prove that these coefficients are indeed rational numbers with bounded denominators.
