Does synchronising follicular wave emergence improve outcomes in non‐superstimulated donor cattle undergoing ovum pick‐up (OPU) for in vitro embryo production?

open access: yesAustralian Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
In vitro embryo production (IVEP) is now a widely commercialised assisted reproductive technology used in cattle reproduction. The use of follicle‐stimulating hormone (FSH) to superstimulate donor cattle prior to ovum pick‐up (OPU) is generally regarded as an effective strategy to improve oocyte quality, developmental competence and increase embryo ...

Interspecific and Intergeneric Crosses for Clubroot Resistance in Brassica Crops

open access: yesAgronomy
Clubroot disease, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a major global threat, causing severe yield losses of up to 100% in heavily infested fields.

Population development to help resolve and move traits in genomics-assisted breeding : OP03 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Plant breeding programs evolve by developing a better understanding of genetic architecture of agricultural traits and making more use of it with minimal resource diversion from mainstream genetic gain accumulation.

Mechanisms of Body Alignment in a Diurnal Songbird Migrant

open access: yesEthology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract illustrates the body alignment mechanism of a diurnal songbird migrant, the dunnock (Prunella modularis). Dunnocks consistently expressed an angular body alignment, with inter‐individual variation at the level of the population.

Interspecific hybridization in poeciliids.

open access: yesIndian journal of experimental biology, 1997
Seventy per cent attempts to ensure interspecific hybridization between Poecilia velifera and P. sphenops were successful and led to the production of true hybrids, but not gynogens or triploids, as evidenced by the mottled or striped colour, chromosome number (2n = 46) and response from scale transplantation. Most hyrbids were infertile as they failed

Worldwide Invasions of Centrarchidae: The Dark Side of the Sunfish Family

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Freshwater fish invasions are major drivers of global ecological change, disrupting native biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, many invasive fish hold significant socioeconomic value, resulting in conflict over their management. Centrarchidae, which are globally distributed and are important for sportfishing and aquaculture, are now

The chromosome segregation in a created Musa interspecific tetraploid (AAAB) hybrid can lead to eBSV elimination. [P.51] [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Banana cultivars (including plantain) are derived from natural hybridization between wild diploid Musa species and subspecies. The main species involved are Musa acuminata (A genome) that is encountered in all banana cultivars, and M.

Assessing soil and native high Andean grassland quality under grazing: A case study from the wet Puna of Peru

open access: yesGrassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract High Andean grasslands are vulnerable to changes in their nutritional quality and carbon sequestration capacity, especially in grazing systems. This study evaluated soil quality and native grasses by measuring carbon, physicochemical parameters, and the nutritional quality of predominant species in the wet Puna of Junín, Peru.

Techniques of producing monosex or sterile population of fish for aquaculture -- a review of selected literature [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
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.
