California's vernal‐pool mousetails (Myosurus, Ranunculaceae): Phylogenetic analysis of ddRADseq data, hybridization tests, and species delimitation

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We present the first phylogenetic analysis of the Californian species of Myosurus. Our ddRADseq analysis reveals considerably more diversity than what was recognized in recent floristic treatments. Myosurus minimus subsp. apus was found to be a rare species restricted to Southern California and northwestern Baja California.

Additive Variance and Open‐Pollinated Progenies Under Mixed Mating

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Open‐pollinated progeny tests are still widely interpreted as if all the individuals within a maternal family were true half‐sibs. However, in species with mixed mating systems, this assumption is often biologically unrealistic and may bias the estimation of the additive variance, narrow‐sense heritability and expected selection gains.

EFFECT OF INBREEDING ON SOME PERFORMANCE TRAITS IN SAHIWAL CATTLE

Pakistan Veterinary Journal, 2001
Pedigree, breeding and performance records of a purebred Sahiwal herd maintained at Livestock Experiment Station, Jahangirabad, Khanewal during the period 1939-97 were utilised for the present study. The effect of inbreeding on various performance traits

ESTIMATION OF INBREEDING THROUGH PEDIGREE AND RUNS OF HOMOZYGOSITY FOR YORKSHIRE AND LANDRACE PIG BREEDS.

, 2023
Inbreeding is a significant concern in animal breeding programs as it can lead to decreased genetic diversity, impaired fertility and production traits and a higher prevalence of genetic disorders.

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.

Development and deployment of a public mid‐density genotyping panel for crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) based on whole‐genome re‐sequencing of diverse germplasm

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract Crimson clover (Trifolium incarnatum L.) is an obligately outcrossing, cool‐season annual legume valued for forage and cover cropping, yet genomic resources to support systematic improvement are limited. We performed the first whole‐genome re‐sequencing of global crimson clover germplasm to (i) develop a public mid‐density enrichment capture ...

Genomic characterization of a MAGIC population containing introgressions from four tetraploid Gossypium species

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
Abstract One strategy for increasing the genetic diversity of upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) involves the introgression of beneficial alleles from related and wild tetraploid species. Progress in this area has been limited due to undesirable outcomes associated with whole genome interspecific hybridization. To minimize genetic influences from other

Efficient path-based computations on pedigree graphs with compact encodings

BMC Bioinformatics, 2012
A pedigree is a diagram of family relationships, and it is often used to determine the mode of inheritance (dominant, recessive, etc.) of genetic diseases.

Pedigree analysis of Korean native chickens: unraveling inbreeding and genetic diversity

Poultry Science
This study assessed the trends in inbreeding, effective population size, and genetic diversity across six Korean native chicken lines using pedigree records from 54,383 chickens. Understanding these genetic parameters is significantly important for maintaining healthy and viable chicken populations.

Feasibility and pitfalls of combining small subpopulations for genome‐wide association analysis of maize (Zea mays L.) kernel traits

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‐
