Evaluation of heterosis and heterosis retention in Bos taurus-Bos indicus crossbred cattle for productivity traits in cows [PDF]

, 2005
Reproductive and weight traits were analyzed for Angus (A), Brahman (B), Hereford (H), and Nellore (N) straightbred cows; F1 NA cows; 3/8N 5/8A cows and quarter blood composite cows (BANH) of the four straightbreds in Central Texas.

The effect of initial linkage disequilibrium and natural selection in pooled populations : experiments with Tribolium and simulation [PDF]

, 1972
In chapter 2 a number of the mechanisms are discussed through which genetic polymorphisms can be maintained in natural populations: overdominance, frequency dependent selection and neutral alleles with associative overdominance.

Mapping of powdery mildew resistance genes transferred to common wheat from wild emmer wheat revealed three functional Pm60 haplotypes

Crop Journal
Powdery mildew (PM), caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici (Bgt), is one of the destructive wheat diseases worldwide. Wild emmer wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides, WEW), a tetraploid progenitor of common wheat, is a valuable genetic resource

The Interaction Between Abiotic and Biotic Soil Factors Modulates Heterosis Expression in Maize

Phytobiomes Journal
Heterosis, or hybrid vigor, refers to the phenotypic superiority of hybrids relative to their parental inbred lines. Recent work showed that manipulation of the soil microbial community consistently altered heterosis, but the direction of the effect was ...

The Transcription Factor WFZP Interacts with the Chromatin Remodeler TaSYD to Regulate Root Architecture and Nitrogen Uptake Efficiency in Wheat

Advanced Science
The root architecture is crucial for the robust growth and nutrient absorption in cereals. However, it is urgent to identify the factors that simultaneously optimize root architecture and nutrient utilization in wheat. In this study, a beneficial role of
