Genome-Wide Association Study Dissects the Genetic Architecture of Maize Husk Tightness
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The husk is a leafy outer tissue that encloses a maize ear. Previously, we identified the optimum husk structure by measuring the husk length, husk layer number, husk thickness and husk width.

The Mode of Action of Cyclic Monoterpenes (−)-Limonene and (+)-α-Pinene on Bacterial Cells
Biomolecules, 2021 A broad spectrum of volatile organic compounds’ (VOCs’) biological activities has attracted significant scientific interest, but their mechanisms of action remain little understood. The mechanism of action of two VOCs—the cyclic monoterpenes (−)-limonene

Performance of Genomic Selection in Mice [PDF]
Genetics, 2008 Abstract Selection plans in plant and animal breeding are driven by genetic evaluation. Recent developments suggest using massive genetic marker information, known as “genomic selection.” There is little evidence of its performance, though.

Genomic Prediction Strategies for Dry-Down-Related Traits in Maize
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 For efficient mechanical harvesting, low grain moisture content at harvest time is essential. Dry-down rate (DR), which refers to the reduction in grain moisture content after the plants enter physiological maturity, is one of the main factors affecting ...

Selection Acting on Genomes [PDF]
, 2019 Populations evolve as mutations arise in individual organisms and, through hereditary transmission, may become "fixed" (shared by all individuals) in the population. Most mutations are lethal or have negative fitness consequences for the organism. Others have essentially no effect on organismal fitness and can become fixed through the neutral

Genomic selection to improve husk tightness based on genomic molecular markers in maize
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionThe husk tightness (HTI) in maize plays a crucial role in regulating the water content of ears during the maturity stage, thereby influencing the quality of mechanical grain harvesting in China. Genomic selection (GS), which employs molecular

A Practical Application of Genomic Predictions for Mastitis Resistance in Italian Holstein Heifers
Animals, 2022 Heifers are a fundamental resource on farms, and their importance is reflected in both farm management and economy. Therefore, the selection of heifers to be reared on a farm should be carefully performed to select only the best animals.

Emerging issues in genomic selection [PDF]
Journal of Animal Science, 2021 Abstract Genomic selection (GS) is now practiced successfully across many species. However, many questions remain, such as long-term effects, estimations of genomic parameters, robustness of genome-wide association study (GWAS) with small and large datasets, and stability of genomic predictions.
