BREEDING STRATEGIES FOR ATEMOYA AND CHERIMOYA
Acta Horticulturae, 1999Current production of annonas in Australia is mainly based on atemoya (Annona squamosa x Annona cherimola) hybrids. Very little cherimoya (Annona cherimola) is grown. Fruit quality and/or yield of atemoyas and cherimoyas are highly variable. Consumer acceptance for the fruit could be markedly increased by improving both internal (seed number, flavour ...

STRATEGIES FOR BREEDING MACADAMIAS IN AUSTRALIA
Acta Horticulturae, 2012Macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia Maiden & Betche and M. tetraphylla L.A.S. Johnson) is an Australian native, evergreen nut tree adapted to the subtropics. Large tree size and slow maturity of the crop pose particular problems for breeding and selection. Funding for an industry breeding program commenced in 1996 and 20 elite seedlings were selected.

Breeding Strategies for Triticale
1996A long-standing scientific vision -- the dream of combining in one and the same plant, the yield potential and grain quality of wheat with the rusticity of rye -- is materializing as triticale becomes an established economic crop. The ability of scientists world-wide to shape food supply strategies is being reduced, as the interactions between farmers ...

Breeding Strategy for the Cedrela Genus in Argentina
2020Three species from the Yungas (Cedrela balansae, C. angustifolia, C. saltensis) and one from the Alto Parana Rainforest (C. fissilis) represent the genus in Argentina. In this chapter, we present the state-of-the-art in their domestication, including afforestation experiences in block and in enrichment strips.

Pear breeding is considered as one of the most important sectors of temperate fruit breeding. While this follows breeding efforts for apple, new technologies and approaches are awaiting pear breeders on the horizon. New plant breeding techniques, tested for their efficacy in other fruit trees, as well as conventional methods will be presented in this ...

Strategies for breeding crops for future environments
Trends in Plant ScienceThe green revolution successfully increased agricultural output in the early 1960s by relying primarily on three pillars: plant breeding, irrigation, and chemical fertilization. Today, the need to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers, water scarcity, and future environmental changes, together with a growing population, requires innovative strategies ...

Modern feeding strategies for breeding boars
Animal Reproduction ScienceFeeding of breeding boars in artificial insemination (AI) centers is critical to maintaining and improving breeding quality and performance in agriculture. Modern feeding strategies for AI boars are aiming towards maximizing their lifetime semen dose output.

Breeding Considerations and Strategies
2010Plant breeding for water limited environments is rarely performed as a separate program. In most cases it is part of a mainstream breeding program which is designed to release a cultivar appropriate to a designated ideotype and customer demand. The ideotype includes various specifications regarding morphological, developmental, phenotypic, biotic and ...

Relationships Between Migration and Breeding Strategies in Arctic Breeding Birds
2003For successful breeding, good timing is of the utmost importance for birds inhabiting seasonal environments. Seasonal declines in reproductive success have been well documented in birds (e.g. Perrins 1970; Verhulst et al. 1995) and shown to be causally related to the timing of breeding (e.g. Verhulst et al. 1995; Brinkhof and Cave 1997).
