Breeding techniques to dispense higher genetic gains
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Plant breeding techniques encompass all the processes aimed at improving the genetic characteristics of a crop. It helps in achieving desirable characteristics like resistance to diseases and pests, tolerance to environmental stresses, higher yield and improved quality of the crop.

Selection effects on diversity and genetic gain.
Silva Fennica, 1991 Four different methods of truncation selection were studied in a population consisting of a large number of unrelated full sib families of equal size: phenotype selection, family selection, within-family selection and combined index selection (optimal ...

Genomic selection in United States dairy cattle
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 The genomic selection program for dairy cattle in the United States has doubled the rate of genetic gain. Since 2010, the average annual increase in net merit has been $85 compared to $40 during the previous 5 years.

Hybrid Aspen Performance and Genetic Gains
Northern Journal of Applied Forestry, 1993 Abstract The aspen hybrid breeding program has been active in the Lake States since 1955. This study summarizes long-term performance of aspen hybrids in six locations in Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Interspecific hybrids of native bigtooth aspen and quaking aspen with other poplar species show improved growth when compared with native ...

Achieving Genetic Gains in Practice
, 2022 AbstractAccelerating the rate of genetic gain for grain yield together with key traits is pivotal for delivering improved wheat varieties. The key strategies of CIMMYT’s spring bread wheat improvement program to continuously increase genetic gains and deliver elite wheat lines to national partners in the target countries include: breeding for product ...

Genetic parameters and trends of morphometric traits of GIFT tilapia under selection for weight gain
Scientia Agricola, 2014 The main factor considered in breeding programs for fish is growth, which can be assessed in terms of a gain in either weight or body measurements. This study was undertaken to evaluate the morphometric traits of GIFT strain tilapia (Oreochromis sp ...
