Estimation of Genetic Parameters and Genetic Trends for Growth and Reproductive Traits in Mashona Cattle

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mashona cattle are an indigenous Sanga cattle breed from Zimbabwe, used for beef production and known for their mothering ability and adaptation to harsh tropical environments. Growth and reproductive traits are key determinants of efficiency in beef production.

Heritability of Productive, Reproductive and Carcass Traits in Pure‐Bred and Cross‐Bred Pigs: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heritability (h2) is a key parameter in animal breeding, but its magnitude and consistency across pure‐bred (PB) and cross‐bred (CB) pig populations remain poorly understood. This study aimed to compare heritability estimates between PB and CB populations for economically relevant traits through a systematic review and meta‐analysis.

Software Selegen-REML/BLUP: a useful tool for plant breeding

Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2016
The software Selegen-REML/BLUP uses mixed models, and was developed to optimize the routine of plant breeding programs. It addresses the following plants categories: allogamous, automagous, of mixed mating system, and of clonal propagation.

A High‐Throughput Phenotyping Pipeline for Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) Panicles Using Image Analysis With Convolutional Neural Networks

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Quinoa is a grain crop with excellent nutritional properties that has attracted global attention for its potential contribution to future food security in a changing climate. Despite its long history of cultivation, quinoa has been improved little by modern breeding and is a niche crop outside its native cultivation area.

Screening for Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) Resistance in Early‐Maturing Tropical Maize Adapted to Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

Evaluation of Deviation‐Type Indices for the Joint Selection of Yield and Seed Composition Traits in Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.)

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed yield and composition are major targets in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) breeding programmes, but simultaneous improvement is constrained by unfavourable correlations among target traits. In this study, we evaluated the potential of different selection indices to simultaneously improve seed yield and quality traits in soybean.
