Genetic Evaluation of Beef Sires Using a Beef‐on‐Dairy Crossbred Reference Population

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 3, Page 390-402, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In recent years, Beef‐on‐Dairy (BoD) crossbreeding programs have gained momentum to enhance dairy cattle's economic and genetic merits while meeting the demand for high‐quality beef. However, bulls with superior growth potential can lead to calving problems; thus, Holstein dairy farmers must decide which semen to use to avoid calving problems ...

Discovery and Evaluation of Cadmium‐Adapted Daphnia pulex Genotypes in a Region of Historical Mining Reveals Adaptation Protects the Germline From Cadmium‐Induced Mutations

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 9, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Exposure to chemical pollutants can alter the rate and genome‐wide distribution of germline mutations. However, studies measuring the effects of chemical exposure on mutation rates and spectra have not considered the ecological and evolutionary backgrounds of the studied genotypes, which could influence the rates and patterns of germline ...

A Single‐Base Mutation in TaWAK3‐B Reduces Plant Height via Cytoskeleton in Bread Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3261-3278, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction of Reduced height (Rht) genes into modern wheat cultivars has resulted in ‘Green Revolution’ that skyrocketed wheat grain yields worldwide since the 1960s. These ‘Green Revolution’ cultivars show shorter plant height, but higher lodging resistance and harvest index.

Estimation of heterosis for seed cotton yield and biochemical parameters in genetic male sterile based hybrids of Gossypium arboreum L.

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2017
The present investigation was undertaken to study heterosis and explore its commercial utilization in desi cotton (G. arboreum L.) by using Line x Tester design with four genetic male sterile females and fifteen male parents. Out of sixty hybrids studied,

Mitochondrial genetics of alloplasmic male-sterile Brassica napus lines [PDF]

, 2005
Reliable and economical production of hybrid (F1) varieties requires efficient means to control pollination. The predominant system for pollination control of most field crops today is cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS).
