Evolution of Biological Complexity [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
In order to make a case for or against a trend in the evolution of complexity in biological evolution, complexity needs to be both rigorously defined and measurable.

Genetic control of tomato fruit quality: from QTL mapping to Genome Wide Association studies and breeding

open access: yesComptes Rendus Biologies, 2022
Consumers began to complain about the taste of tomato varieties in the late 1990’s. Although tomato taste is influenced by environmental and post-harvest conditions, varieties show a large diversity for fruit quality traits. We herein review our past and

Heterosis and Hybrid Crop Breeding: A Multidisciplinary Review

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Although hybrid crop varieties are among the most popular agricultural innovations, the rationale for hybrid crop breeding is sometimes misunderstood. Hybrid breeding is slower and more resource-intensive than inbred breeding, but it allows systematic ...

Surviving a Genome Collision: Genomic Signatures of Allopolyploidization in the Recent Crop Species [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Polyploidization has played a major role in crop plant evolution, leading to advantageous traits that have been selected by humans. Here, we describe restructuring patterns in the genome of Brassica napus L., a recent allopolyploid species.

How Population Structure Impacts Genomic Selection Accuracy in Cross-Validation: Implications for Practical Breeding

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Over the last two decades, the application of genomic selection has been extensively studied in various crop species, and it has become a common practice to report prediction accuracies using cross validation.

A simulation framework for reciprocal recurrent selection-based hybrid breeding under transparent and opaque simulators

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Hybrid breeding is an established and effective process to improve offspring performance, while it is resource-intensive and time-consuming for the recurrent process in reality.

Genome-Wide Footprints of Pig Domestication and Selection Revealed through Massive Parallel Sequencing of Pooled DNA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background Artificial selection has caused rapid evolution in domesticated species. The identification of selection footprints across domesticated genomes can contribute to uncover the genetic basis of phenotypic diversity.

Modeling Epistasis in Genomic Selection [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics, 2015
Abstract Modeling epistasis in genomic selection is impeded by a high computational load. The extended genomic best linear unbiased prediction (EG-BLUP) with an epistatic relationship matrix and the reproducing kernel Hilbert space regression (RKHS) are two attractive approaches that reduce the computational load.

Genome-Wide Association Studies and Genomic Selection in Pearl Millet: Advances and Prospects

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2020
Pearl millet is a climate-resilient, drought-tolerant crop capable of growing in marginal environments of arid and semi-arid regions globally. Pearl millet is a staple food for more than 90 million people living in poverty and can address the triple ...
