Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Herbivore‐mediated ecosystem processes are fundamental to biodiversity, yet have been greatly diminished by megafauna extinctions and replacement of wild herbivores by managed livestock. With increasing restoration ambitions—including the United Nations' (UN) Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and the European Union (EU) Nature ...

Inbreeding depression for reproductive and yield related traits in S1 lines of maize (Zea mays L.) [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2006 This research was conducted to determine inbreeding depression in S1 maize lines for reproductive and yield related traits, at NWFP Agricultural University, Peshawar, Pakistan, in two successive seasons during 2002.

Context‐dependent decision‐making in seed sourcing for restoration: reply to Beck et al. (2025)
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Determining the best seed sources for restoration can be a challenge for practitioners, especially under climate change. The number of variables and the spectrum of potential solutions can be daunting. No singular seed sourcing strategy, “local‐is‐best” or otherwise, is appropriate for all species and restoration efforts.

Genomic and phenomic prediction models improve selection accuracy for complex traits in alfalfa
The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.Abstract Predictive breeding has been proposed as an effective approach to accelerate genetic gain for complex traits. Genomic prediction (GP) models have been developed in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) for key traits in the last decade. More recently, phenomic prediction (PP) models have been proposed as a low‐cost, high‐throughput alternative to GP in

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract Sugarcane (Saccharum spp. hybrids), the source of ∼80% of the worlds sugar, has experienced a plateau in genetic improvement over recent decades. This stagnation is largely due to the crop's complex polyploid genome and long breeding cycles, which limit the efficiency of traditional selection methods.

Inbreeding depression in crambe
Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2016 Inbreeding depression in plants, caused by selfing or crossing among plants with a high degree of relatedness, is a genetic phenomenon that affects quantitative traits. This study aimed at verifying the occurrence of inbreeding depression in crambe progenies originated from selfing, in comparison with open pollination progenies.

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract Genome‐wide association studies (GWASs) typically require large populations to achieve sufficient statistical power; however, maintaining large populations is labor‐intensive and costly. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility of improving GWAS detection power by strategically integrating small maize (Zea mays L.) subpopulations for kernel‐

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.Abstract The global agricultural industry suffers major economic losses due to fungal diseases. Though selective breeding and introgression of resistance genes with major effects have helped to reduce the impact of these diseases, resistance breakdown occurs within a few generations.

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 6, Page 774-783, November 2026.ABSTRACT The Finnish Ayrshire cattle belong to the Nordic Red breeds. The basis of selection in Nordic Red breeds shifted from traditional pedigree‐based breeding values to genomic breeding values between 2011 and 2014. Joint genetic evaluation and admixture among the Nordic Red breeds have led to the formation of a composite Nordic Red population ...
