In this chapter we discuss the history of the breeding of domesticated animals and how this practice produced varieties of animals with ‘breeding’, and that since the late-eighteenth century have been termed ‘breeds’. We consider the evolution of ideas on selective breeding through the nineteenth century and end with an assessment of the impact of the ...

BREEDS COMPOSITION IN THE BREEDING MEAT CATTLE BREEDING IN RUSSIA
Molochnoe i miasnoe skotovodstvo, 2021Изучен породный состав и численность племенного скота мясного направления продуктивности в Российской Федерации. На долю мясных пород в мире приходится 40% от всего поголовья крупного рогатого скота. В России специализированное мясное скотоводство как самостоятельную отрасль животноводства начали создавать в начале 30-х годов прошлого века.

To breed, or not to breed? Predation risk induces breeding suppression in common voles
Oecologia, 2012Breeding suppression hypothesis (BSH) predicts that, in several vole species, females will suppress breeding in response to high risk of mustelid predation; compared to breeding females, suppressing females would gain higher chances of survival. Seminal evidence for BSH was obtained in the laboratory, but attempts to replicate breeding suppression ...

Trends in Plant Science, 2003
Breeding by Design is a concept that aims to control all allelic variation for all genes of agronomic importance. This concept can be achieved through a combination of precise genetic mapping, high-resolution chromosome haplotyping and extensive phenotyping. Thanks to marker technology, software tools and the know-how available today, this goal can now

, 2018 Abstract This chapter describes the main and minor cultivars, as well as other species and botanical varieties, of pineapple. The genetics and breeding system, including cytogenetics, selection, and rogueing, are discussed. Considerations in hand pollination, seed handling, germination and nursery management are also mentioned.

The olive (Olea europaea L.) is, at the same time, one of the most ancient domesticated fruit trees and the most extensively cultivated fruit crop in the world, covering an area of about 7.5 million hectares. The recent diffusion of olive outside its traditional area of cultivation, the Mediterranean basin, together with a continu- ous trend in the ...

Breeding (2): Ecology of Breeding
1996Once breeding activity has been initiated under the influence of the various environmental stimuli described in the previous chapter, courtship, nestbuilding (where relevant) and subsequent parental behaviour follow in sequence. These activities may involve finding appropriate nesting materials (for example, green grass in the case of weavers Ploceus ...

Science, 2014
I read with interest the In Depth story “Racing for disaster?” (A. Gibbons, 13 June, p. [1213][1]) on breeding thoroughbreds for speed, and the concerns about inbreeding and the resulting shrinkage of the gene pool. As Gibbons points out, such selection for speed generally involves putting 3-year-old stallions out to stud after winning one or more high-

Breeding Methods and Breeding Research
2002In a broad sense, the term “ornamental plants” covers all kinds of plants used for one ornamental purpose or another in homes, gardens and parks. Ornamental plant breeding, therefore, covers the breeding of all ornamental plants in the broad sense. On the other hand, floriculture includes mostly herbaceous ornamental plant species, i.e., bedding plants,
