Effect of Different Protocols of Fixed-Time Artificial Insemination on Mucus, Ovarian Size, and Pregnancy of Mixed-Breed Cows in the Humid Tropics of Peru. [PDF]
The objective of the research was to evaluate three synchronization protocols for fixed‐time artificial insemination (FTAI) in Bos indicus with Bos taurus crossbred cows. Forty‐five cows of 5 ± 1.6 years were selected. The Jsynch treatment consisted of the application of an intravaginal device plus benzoate; on day 8, the device was removed and PGF2α ...

Multi‐location trials identify stable high‐yielding spring bread and durum wheat cultivars in Mexico
Abstract Determining the stability and consistency of grain yield performance requires accurate evaluation of genotypes in different environments. In Mexico, annual national spring wheat irrigated trials (ENTRI) are conducted to assess elite bread (Triticum aestivum L.) and durum (Triticum durum L.) wheat performance in different testing environments ...

Precision breeding represents a new challenge for biosafety regulators when applying the legal definition of living modified organisms (LMOs) in accordance with their domestic biosafety legislation. Globally, there is uncertainty whether the products of precision breeding will be considered as LMOs and subject to the corresponding regulatory oversight.

Sequencing vs. amplification for the estimation of allele dosages in sugarcane (Saccharum spp.). [PDF]
Abstract Premise Detecting single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a cost‐effective way is fundamental in any plant breeding pipeline. Here, we compare three genotyping techniques for their ability to reproduce the allele dosage of SNPs of interest in sugarcane (Saccharum spp.).

Root Architecture and Functional Traits of Spring Wheat Under Contrasting Water Regimes
Wheat roots are known to play an important role in the yield performance under water-limited (WL) conditions. Three consecutive year trials (2015, 2016, and 2017) were conducted in a glasshouse in 160 cm length tubes on a set of spring wheat (Triticum ...
