Ingestive Behavior and Body Development of Backgrounded Heifers From Three Genotypes in the Brazilian Pantanal

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Nelore (N) and Nelore × Pantaneiro (NP) heifers exhibited similar grazing times, which were higher compared with Nelore × Angus (NA) heifers. Nelore heifers showed higher wither height and hip height values compared with NP heifers. The average values for NA heifers did not differ from the other genotypes. It was observed that chest depth, heart girth,

Identification of QTLs controlling grain protein concentration using a high-density SNP and SSR linkage map in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)

BMC Plant Biology, 2017
Background Grain protein concentration (GPC) is a major determinant of quality in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). Breeding barley cultivars with high GPC has practical value for feed and food properties.

Morphological and metabolomics profiling of intraspecific Arabidopsis hybrids in relation to biomass heterosis

Scientific Reports, 2023
Heterosis contributes greatly to the worldwide agricultural yield. However, the molecular mechanism underlying heterosis remains unclear. This study took advantage of Arabidopsis intraspecific hybrids to identify heterosis-related metabolites.

Integrated characterization of Greek fennel genotypes through morpho‐agronomical characteristics, yield components and phytochemical compounds

JSFA reports, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 91-103, March 2025.
Abstract Background Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) is a widely cultivated vegetable and aromatic‐medicinal plant. In this research, field studies assessed 12 fennel genotypes of diverse origin, comprising 10 Greek accessions and two European commercial varieties, focusing on their morpho‐agronomical traits, phenolic compounds and antioxidant ...

Heterosis is prevalent for multiple traits in diverse maize germplasm.

PLoS ONE, 2009
BackgroundHeterosis describes the superior phenotypes observed in hybrids relative to their inbred parents. Maize is a model system for studying heterosis due to the high levels of yield heterosis and commercial use of hybrids.MethodsThe inbred lines ...

Preliminary genetic barcodes for ash (Fraxinus) species and generation of new wide hybrids

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
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 ...

Natural variation of STKc_GSK3 kinase TaSG-D1 contributes to heat stress tolerance in Indian dwarf wheat

Nature Communications
Heat stress threatens global wheat (Triticum aestivum) production, causing dramatic yield losses worldwide. Identifying heat tolerance genes and comprehending molecular mechanisms are essential. Here, we identify a heat tolerance gene, TaSG-D1 E286K , in

Deletions linked to PROG1 gene participate in plant architecture domestication in Asian and African rice

Nature Communications, 2018
Plant architecture transition is one of the great consequences during rice domestication. Here, the authors find that chromosomal deletions linked to the previously known PROG1 gene also participate in plant architecture domestication in both Asian and ...

'Heterosis' in Drosophila [PDF]

Evolution, 1963
In the course of some experiments with Drosophila melanogaster on the adaptive value of several dominant mutants in competition with their wild-type alleles, an anomalous situation arose with respect to Lobe-2. Further investigation of these results produced an explanation which raises some interesting questions about reports of heterosis in Drosophila.

Genomic Analysis of Taurine and Indicine Ancestry in the Montana Tropical Composite Population

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Montana Tropical cattle, a Taurine and Indicine composite, were developed in Brazil since 1994 and were based on crossing four biological types of cattle: zebu (mainly Nelore), tropical adapted taurine (mainly Senepol and Romosinuano), British taurine (mainly Angus) and continental taurine (as Charolais, Simental and Limousin).
