Genetic Diversity and Genetic Differentiation Pattern of Tuta Absoluta across China
(Entomologia Generalis, 2023-11-24)Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) is a cosmopolitan invader and one of the most serious pests of tomato. This pest has expanded rapidly in China since it initially invaded Xinjiang in the northwest in 2017 and ... -
Genetic Diversity and Genome-Wide Association Study for the Phenology Response of Winter Wheats of North America, Western Asia, and Europe
(Plants, 2023-12-01)Wheat is a staple food in many areas around the World. In the 20th century, breeders and scientists were able to boost wheat yield considerably. However, a yield plateau has become a concern and is ... -
Genetic Diversity and Population Structure Analysis of Triticum aestivum L. Landrace Panel from Afghanistan
(Genes, 2021-02-25)Landraces are a potential source of genetic diversity and provide useful genetic resources to cope with the current and future challenges in crop breeding. Afghanistan is located close to the centre of ... -
Genetic diversity and selection signatures of the beef ‘Charolais de Cuba’ breed
(Scientific Reports, 2018-07-20)In this study, we used BovineSNP50 Genotyping BeadChip data to estimate the structure, putative ancestral origin as well as to identify regions with selective sweeps that may have had an important role ... -
Genetic improvement of bread wheat yield and associated traits in Spain during the 20th century
(Journal of Agricultural Science, 2012-04-17)A collection of 26 wheat genotypes widely grown in Spain during the 20th century was evaluated in eight contrasting environments in order to quantify breeding achievements in yield and associated traits. ... -
Genetic origin and climate determine fruit quality and antioxidant traits on apple (Malus x domestica Borkh)
(Scientia Horticulturae, 2021-04-10)Apples are highly appreciated in terms of flavor, nutritional and health-promoting compounds and are associated with a reduced risk to develop age-related and chronic diseases. In this study, 155 ... -
Genetic parameters and associated genomic regions for global immunocompetence and other health-related traits in pigs
(Scientific Reports, 2020-10-28)The inclusion of health-related traits, or functionally associated genetic markers, in pig breeding programs could contribute to produce more robust and disease resistant animals. The aim of the present ... -
Genetic parameters and direct, maternal and heterosis effects on litter size in a diallel cross among three commercial varieties of Iberian pig
(Animal, 2019-06-04)The Iberian pig is one of the pig breeds that has the highest meat quality. Traditionally, producers have bred one of the available varieties, exclusively, and have not used crosses between them, which ... -
Genetic parameters and expected responses to selection for components of feed efficiency in a Duroc pig line
(Genetics Selection Evolution, 2017-12-01)Background: Improving feed efciency (FE) is a key factor for any pig breeding company. Although this can be achieved by selection on an index of multi-trait best linear unbiased prediction of breeding ... -
Genetic parameters of sow feed efficiency during lactation and its underlying traits in a Duroc population
