Breeding for multi‐stress resilience in crops: Myth or possibility?
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate change threatens millions of farmers worldwide by exposing crops to multiple concurrent or sequential environmental stresses such as drought, heat, waterlogging, and diseases. Although crops have long been selected under naturally occurring multi‐stress conditions, breeding pipelines largely focus on optimal or single‐stress environments ...

Heterosis and inbreeding depression for yield and its components traits in barley (Hordeum vulgare)
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020 Heterosis and inbreeding depression was analysed using a set of diallel crosses involving 10 diverse parents (excluding reciprocals). Heterosis over standard parent for grain yield per plant ranged from -9.65–45.45 (%) and -14.78–12.05 (%) under normal ...

Developing selection indexes & estimation of genetic parameters for traits of economic importance in dairy cattle under once-a-day milking : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Animal Science, Institute of Veterinary, Animal Biomedical Sciences, Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
, 2016 In New Zealand, about 5% of dairy herds are milked once-a-day (OAD). The cows are inseminated using sires from the twice-a-day milking system (TAD) evaluated on breeding worth (BW) or an OAD selection index.
