Editorial: Accelerating Genetic Gains in Pulses
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Legumes, members of the Fabaceae/Leguminosae family, are the third largest family of higher plants with almost 20,000 species belonging to 650 genera, and are ubiquitous all over the world. Among all legumes, pulse crops or food legumes fall into the four clades of the subfamily Papilionoideae which include aeschynomenoids/dalbergiods, genistoids ...

Genomic selection strategies to increase genetic gain in tea breeding programs
The Plant Genome, 2022 Tea [Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze] is mainly grown in low‐ to middle‐income countries (LMIC) and is a global commodity. Breeding programs in these countries face the challenge of increasing genetic gain because the accuracy of selecting superior ...

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.

Heterobeltiosis in Banana and Genetic Gains through Crossbreeding [PDF]
The Third International Tropical Agriculture Conference (TROPAG 2019), 2020 Heterosis, or hybrid vigour, is the superiority of the hybrid for a certain trait over the mean of its two parents. Heterobeltiosis is a form of heterosis where the hybrid is superior to its best parent. Banana breeding is a tedious, time-consuming process, taking up to two decades to develop a hybrid.
