In vitro androgenesis is a unique model for producing homozygous doubled haploid plants. The use of haploid biotechnology accelerates to obtain of doubled haploid plants, which is very important in rice breeding. The purpose of this work is to improve the production of doubled haploids in rice anther culture in vitro and selection of doubled haploid plants with valuable traits.

In this regard, breeders and scientists are trying to create rice lines that are resistant to multiple stresses.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFToday, with the advent of Large-scale generative Language Models (LLMs) it is now possible to simulate free responses to interview questions such as those traditionally analyzed using qualitative research methods. Qualitative methodology encompasses a broad family of techniques involving manual analysis of open-ended interviews or conversations conducted freely in natural language. Here we consider whether artificial "silicon participants" generated by LLMs may be productively studied using qualitative analysis methods in such a way as to generate insights that could generalize to real human populations.
