How Hybrid Breakdown Can Be Handled in Rice Crossbreeding?

open access: yesFrontiers 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.

Genomic analyses provide insights into breed-of-origin effects from purebreds on three-way crossbred pigs [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2019
Crossbreeding is widely used aimed at improving crossbred performance for poultry and livestock. Alleles that are specific to different purebreds will yield a large number of heterozygous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in crossbred individuals ...
