A Trial Comparing Growing Rabbits Differing in 18 Generations of Selection for Growth Rate Reveals a Potential Lack of Effectiveness in the Genetic Selection Progress [PDF]
Animals, 2023 A total of 338 weaned rabbits (from the R line, selected for post-weaning growth rate) were used to evaluate the response to 18 generations of selection for increased growth rate on rabbit performance. Animals were obtained from two vitrified populations

Simultaneously genetic selection of wheat yield and grain protein quality in rice–wheat and soybean–wheat cropping systems through critical nitrogen efficiency-related traits [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Analyzing the contribution of nitrogen (N) uptake and its utilization in grain yield and protein quality-related traits in rice-wheat (RW) and soybean-wheat (SW) cropping systems is essential for simultaneous improvements in the two target traits.
