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.

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.
