Characterization of Autozygosity in Pigs in Three-Way Crossbreeding
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 Crossbreeding in livestock can be used to increase genetic diversity. The resulting increase in variability is related to the heterozygosity of the crossbred animal. The evolution of diversity during crossbreeding can be assessed using genomic data.

Theoretical aspects of crossbreeding [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 1971 SUMMARY Methods of utilising breeds and bleed crosses in animal production are discussed, taking account of both genetical and economic aspects. The theoretical principles for breed and breed cross comparison are analysed, but most emphasis is given to methods of improvement of existing crosses.

Significant progressive heterobeltiosis in banana crossbreeding [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2020 Background Heterobeltiosis is the phenomenon when the hybrid’s performance is superior to its best performing parent. Banana ( Musa spp. AAA) breeding is a tedious, time-consuming process, taking up to two decades to develop a consumer acceptable hybrid.

How Hybrid Breakdown Can Be Handled in Rice Crossbreeding?
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 In crosses between genetically divergent parents, traits such as weakness and sterility often segregate in later generations. This hybrid breakdown functions as a reproductive barrier and reduces selection efficiency in crossbreeding.
