Expression of homoeologous molecular systems in wheat alloploids [PDF]
Allopolyploidy is widespread in the plant kingdom, where it has been of considerable evolutionary significance. Although the existence of heterotic interactions between the genomes that make up an alloploid have been generally assumed, the precise nature

ABSTRACT Hybrid fixation is an emerging breeding tool that eliminates the need to purchase costly hybrid seeds on an annual basis. However, this technique is limited to Arabidopsis, rice, and soybean with a severe issue of seed setting. Seed setting rate is affected due to targeting of cell division‐related genes and an increase in ploidy in each ...

Crossbreeding systems for small herds of beef cattle (1993) [PDF]
Crossbreeding in commercial beef cattle production improves efficiency through heterosis and breed complementation. Heterosis or hybrid vigor is an advantage in performance of crossbreds compared to the average performance of the parental breeds ...

Significant morphological, biochemical, and nutritional variability was observed among groundnut landraces, highlighting rich genetic diversity and functional potential. Certain accessions, particularly from Boreda, showed superior protein, fat, and phenolic content with strong antioxidant activity.

Animal breeding in organic farming:Discussion paper [PDF]
It is uncertain whether animals which have been bred for conventional production are capable of optimum performance in organic conditions. In conventional agriculture there is a movement towards maximum control of production conditions in order to ...

Preliminary genetic barcodes for ash (Fraxinus) species and generation of new wide hybrids
Societal Impact Statement The world‐wide diversity of ash trees includes genetic information encoding resistance to the ash dieback fungus and the emerald ash borer beetle, which are currently devastating ash populations in Europe and North America. In order to mobilise this genetic diversity in conventional breeding programmes, we need to be able to ...

MITOCHONDRIAL HETEROSIS IN MAIZE
MANY hybrids between genetic pure lines in maize exhibit heterosis. The search for the genetic basis of heterosis has been carried on for many years and by many workers. Despite these efforts, an adequate, specific biochemical explanation of heterosis has not been presented.

Ranking of Sire Breeds and Beef Cross Breeding of Dairy and Beef Cows [PDF]
End of Project ReportSummary There is general agreement across countries on the ranking of beef breeds for production and carcass traits. Differences between dairy and early maturing beef breeds in growth and slaughter traits are small, but the latter ...
