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

Animal Breeding and Genetics, 2021 Having a correlation between the pedigree value of the parents and the productivity of the mothers with the pedigree value of the offspring (inheritance through "father-son" and "mother-son") would increase the likelihood of selecting breeders at the stage of custom mating to obtain repair bulls.

Bee World, 2023 This article continues our series on the basics of honey bee breeding (Uzunov et al., Citation2017, Citation2022a, Citation2022b). Its purpose is to introduce the background and application of breeding values in honey bees to a readership that is not trained in quantitative genetics.

Molecular and phenotypic profiling of white Guinea yam (Dioscorea rotundata) breeding lines
Frontiers in Horticulture, 2023 Phenotypic and genotypic profiling helps identify genotypes with suitable and complementary traits for genetic improvement in crops. A total of 32 traits were assessed in 36 genotypes of white Guinea yam established in a 6 × 6 triple lattice design.

Prediction of haplotypes for ungenotyped animals and its effect on marker-assisted breeding value estimation [PDF]
, 2010 Background: In livestock populations, missing genotypes on a large proportion of animals are a major problem to implement the estimation of marker-assisted breeding values using haplotypes.
