Techniques of producing monosex or sterile population of fish for aquaculture -- a review of selected literature [PDF]
The need to develop techniques that can make the male grow faster in many species of fish as well as the female in some other species cannot be over-emphasized.

Overexpression of IbMIPS1 gene enhances salt tolerance in transgenic sweetpotato
: Myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase (MIPS) is a key rate limiting enzyme in the de novo biosynthesis of myo-inositol in plants. In the present study, the IbMIPS1 gene was introduced into sweetpotato cultivar Xushu 18 and the transgenic plants exhibited ...

Drone‐based phenotyping of maize for multiple disease resistance and yield in breeding field trials
Abstract Improving selection for multiple disease resistance (MDR) and yield in maize (Zea mays L.) requires high‐throughput, objective phenotyping tools, particularly under field conditions where several foliar diseases co‐occur. We evaluated drone‐based multispectral vegetation indices (VIs) for predicting resistance to northern leaf blight (NLB ...

Genetic Evaluation of Beef Sires Using a Beef‐on‐Dairy Crossbred Reference Population
ABSTRACT In recent years, Beef‐on‐Dairy (BoD) crossbreeding programs have gained momentum to enhance dairy cattle's economic and genetic merits while meeting the demand for high‐quality beef. However, bulls with superior growth potential can lead to calving problems; thus, Holstein dairy farmers must decide which semen to use to avoid calving problems ...

A method for genotyping elite breeding stocks of leaf chicory (Cichorium intybus L.) by assaying mapped microsatellite marker loci [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Leaf chicory (Cichorium intybus subsp. intybus var. foliosum L.) is a diploid plant species (2n = 18) of the Asteraceae family. The term "chicory" specifies at least two types of cultivated plants: a leafy vegetable, which is highly ...

Map-based cloning and characterization reveal that an R2R3 MYB gene confers red glume in wheat
Pigment accumulation is an important trait related to wheat domestication, but there remains a limited understanding of its molecular mechanism. The genetic control of the red glume trait by a dominant allele, Rg-B1, on 1BS was reported in the last ...
