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.

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.

Breed of origin of alleles and genomic predictions for crossbred dairy cows

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2021
Background In dairy cattle, genomic selection has been implemented successfully for purebred populations, but, to date, genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV) for crossbred cows are rarely available, although they are valuable for rotational ...

Implementing a genomic rotational crossbreeding scheme to promote local dairy cattle breeds-A simulation study.

Journal of Dairy Science, 2021
In dairy cattle breeding, there is a clear trend toward the use of only a few high-yielding breeds. One main reason is that efficient breeding programs require a certain population size.
