Photoperiodic flowering is well studied in facultative photoperiodism plants, but the genetic basis of obligate photoperiodism remains poorly understood. Using QTL mapping and RNA‐seq in Mimulus guttatus, we identified photoperiodism‐specific QTLs that are distinct from flowering‐time QTLs, supporting switch‐like genetic control of obligate long‐day ...

ABSTRACT In most sheep production systems, the ideal scenario is for every ewe to lamb and successfully raise twins. However, selection for increased number of lambs born (NLB) is often accompanied by a higher incidence of triplet and higher‐order births, which increases management challenges and producer reluctance to intensify selection for this ...

Insights into pedigree- and genome-based inbreeding patterns in Martina Franca donkey breed
Conserving small, endangered equine populations demands tools that capture both recent and historical inbreeding more accurately than pedigree alone. The Martina Franca donkey, a large indigenous breed from southern Italy that approached extinction in ...

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 ...

The MexMAGIC population mixes native maize varieties from across Mexico to study functional genetic diversity. Summary Defining the genetic basis of local adaptation is a key goal of evolutionary biology and crop improvement. Theory predicts that when selective pressures follow differences in the environment, a cline will be established.

ABSTRACT The present study integrates morphometric analysis, length–weight relationship (LWR), condition factor, and mitochondrial COI‐based molecular barcoding to elucidate the biological characteristics of Diptychus maculatus and confirm species identity, respectively, from the Trans‐Himalayan region of Ladakh, India.

ABSTRACT Population structure is important for broodstock management and conservation of Ompok pabda. This study evaluated phenotypic shape variation among three hatchery populations from Bogura (Kahalu), Dinajpur (Sadar) and Mymensingh (Muktagacha) and one wild population from Arial Beel, Munshiganj, using 15 landmark geometric morphometrics.

ABSTRACT Genomic prediction in beef cattle is particularly challenging in breeds with limited phenotypic and genotypic data. In this context, multi‐breed methodologies that integrate information from genetically related populations have emerged as a promising strategy to improve prediction accuracy and calibration under data‐scarce conditions.

The success (or failure) of a breeding centre can be assessed through the genetic trend of trait(s) included in the breeding objective and the inbreeding trend.
