Advances in Genomics-Based Breeding of Barley: Molecular Tools and Genomic Databases

, 2021
Barley is the fourth most important cereal crop and has been domesticated and cultivated for more than 10,000 years. Breeding climate-smart and stress-tolerant cultivars is considered the most suitable way to accelerate barley improvement.

Data integration for decision making in wheat breeding [PDF]

, 2011
Plant breeding is a production process requiring the creation of germplasm through taking existing successful cultivars and crossing them with new parental lines with agronomic and quality attributes of interest.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

The integration of WGCNA and ceRNA analysis provides insights into bovine intramuscular fat deposition

BMC Genomics
Background Intramuscular fat (IMF) content is a crucial determinant of beef quality and a key indicator in cattle breeding and production. However, the molecular regulatory mechanisms governing IMF deposition remain poorly understood.

Future trends in Animal Breeding due to new genetic tecnologies [PDF]

, 2011
The Darwin theory of evolution by natural selection is based on three principles: (a) variation; (b) inheritance; and (c) natural selection. Here, I take these principles as an excuse to review some topics related to the future research prospects in ...

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

Kinship and its consequences in the cooperatively breeding southern pied babbler Turdoides bicolor [PDF]

, 2009
Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (p. 119-132).Cooperative breeding occurs when more than two individuals help to raise offspring that are not their own, and has been the focus of empirical and theoretical research for over forty ...

A telomere-to-telomere genome of wild soybean with resistance to soybean cyst nematode X12

Scientific Data
The soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is one of the most destructive pests affecting soybean production worldwide. Wild soybean (Glycine soja) germplasm offers valuable genetic resources for developing SCN-resistant cultivars.

Quantitative traits loci mapping and molecular marker development for total glutenin and glutenin fraction contents in wheat

BMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background Glutenin contents and compositions are crucial factors influencing the end-use quality of wheat. Although the composition of glutenin fractions is well known, there has been relatively little research on the genetic basis of glutenin fractions

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an
