  • Genetics of partial incompatibility and improvement of haploid production in Hordeum vulgare L. x H. bulbosum L. crosses

    Creator:
    Chen, Fu-chiang and Chen, Fuqiang
    Abstract:
    The production of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) haploids by crossing with H. bulbosum is a widely used tool in breeding and genetics. Certain barley genotypes have low seed set in this interspecific cross, a phenomenon known as partial incompatibility. Haploid production efficiency and gamete sampling are important issues with the...

  • Routerless Network-on-chip

    Creator:
    Alazemi, Fawaz
    Abstract:
    Traditional bus-based interconnects are simple and easy to implement, but the scalability is greatly limited. While router-based networks-on-chip (NoCs) offer superior scalability, they also incur significant power and area overhead due to complex router structures. In this thesis, a new class of on-chip networks, referred to as Routerless (RL) NoCs,...
