Artificial selection on reproductive timing in hatchery salmon drives a phenological shift and potential maladaptation to climate change

Evolutionary Applications, 2019
The timing of breeding migration and reproduction links generations and substantially influences individual fitness. In salmonid fishes, such phenological events (seasonal return to freshwater and spawning) vary among populations but are consistent among

High-resolution silkworm pan-genome provides genetic insights into artificial selection and ecological adaptation

Nature Communications, 2022
The silkworm Bombyx mori is an important economic insect for producing silk, the “queen of fabrics”. The currently available genomes limit the understanding of its genetic diversity and the discovery of valuable alleles for breeding.

Genome-Wide Analysis of DREB Genes Identifies a Novel Salt Tolerance Gene in Wild Soybean (Glycine soja)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Salt stress is a major factor limiting the growth and yield of soybean (Glycine max). Wild soybeans (Glycine soja) contain high allelic diversity and beneficial alleles that can be re-introduced into domesticated soybeans to improve adaption to the ...

Long-term artificial selection of Hanwoo (Korean) cattle left genetic signatures for the breeding traits and has altered the genomic structure

Scientific Reports, 2022
Indigenous Korean breeds such as Hanwoo (Korean) cattle have adapted to their local environment during the past 5000 years. In the 1980s, the National Genetic Improvement Program was established to develop a modern economic breed for beef production in ...

Origin, Migration, and Reproduction of Indigenous Domestic Animals with Special Reference to Their Sperm Quality

Animals, 2022
Indigenous domestic animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and chickens have a natural resistance to endo- and ecto-parasites and are tolerant in terms of harsh environmental conditions.

Artificial ecosystem selection [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2000
Artificial selection has been practiced for centuries to shape the properties of individual organisms, providing Darwin with a powerful argument for his theory of natural selection. We show that the properties of whole ecosystems can also be shaped by artificial selection procedures.

Steering ecological-evolutionary dynamics to improve artificial selection of microbial communities

Nature Communications, 2021
Microbial communities often perform important functions that depend on inter-species interactions. To improve community function via artificial selection, one can repeatedly grow many communities to allow mutations to arise, and “reproduce” the highest ...

Artificial selection of stable rhizosphere microbiota leads to heritable plant phenotype changes

bioRxiv, 2021
Research on artificial selection of microbial community has become popular due to perspectives in improving plant and animal health1-4. However, reported results still lack consistency5-8.

Community diversity determines the evolution of synthetic bacterial communities under artificial selection

bioRxiv, 2021
Artificial selection can be conducted at the community level in the laboratory through a differential propagation of the communities according to their level of expression of a targeted function (i.e. community phenotype).
