GENOMIC PREDICTION AND SELECTION FOR FRUIT TRAITS IN WINTER SQUASH

Genomic Prediction and Selection for Fruit Traits in Winter Squash

Improving fruit quality is an important but challenging breeding goal in winter squash.Squash breeding in general is resource-intensive, especially in terms of space, and the biology of squash makes it difficult to practice selection on both parents.These restrictions translate to smaller breeding populations and limited use of greenhouse generatio

Finite element analysis of annuloplasty and papillary muscle relocation on a patient-specific mitral regurgitation model.

ObjectivesFunctional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is a significant complication of left ventricle (LV) dysfunction associated with poor prognosis and commonly treated by undersized ring annuloplasty.This study aimed to quantitatively simulate the treatment outcomes and mitral valve (MV) biomechanics following ring annulopalsty and papillary muscle re
