Genetics Research, 2009 SummaryAn innovative approach to tree breeding called ‘breeding without breeding’ (BWB) is presented. The method, as applied on the material in hand, allows the capture of 75–85% of the genetic response to selection attained through conventional programmes without the need to do any controlled pollination and simplified or possibly no experimental ...

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2006 Believing that science is about precision in defining its terms, we propose the use of breeding as an all-encompassing term for mosquito activity does not always represent the reality of what is happening at a site where mosquitoes, in whatever stage, are present.

Breeding without Breeding: Is a Complete Pedigree Necessary for Efficient Breeding?
PLoS ONE, 2011 Complete pedigree information is a prerequisite for modern breeding and the ranking of parents and offspring for selection and deployment decisions. DNA fingerprinting and pedigree reconstruction can substitute for artificial matings, by allowing parentage delineation of naturally produced offspring.

Introduction to resistant vine types : a brief history and overview of the situation
OENO One, 2018 The breeding efforts applied to grapevines are today mainly focused on the use of resistance to bio-aggressors, after being motivated often unconsciously for millennia by quantitative and qualitative concerns, and adaptations to environmental conditions.

Breeding for durable resistance to downy and powdery mildew in grapevine
OENO One, 2018 The current strategy to control grapevine downy and powdery mildew relies on chemical treatments. An alternative solution to the use of chemicals is the development of varieties resistant to pathogens.

Oilseeds and fats, crops and lipids, 2020 From 1970 to nowadays, breeders have improved oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in many ways: creation of double low varieties (free of erucic acid and with a low content in glucosinolates), increase of the seed yield and quality of seeds and improvement of ...

Cassava Breeding I: The Value of Breeding Value [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Breeding cassava relies on several selection stages (single row trial-SRT; preliminary; advanced; and uniform yield trials-UYT). This study uses data from 14 years of evaluations. From more than 20,000 genotypes initially evaluated only 114 reached the last stage.

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Mouse plagues are a regular feature of grain‐growing regions, particularly in southern and eastern Australia, yet it is not clear what role various ecological processes play in the eruptive dynamics generating these outbreaks.
