Himalayan grain demonstrates the potential of pangenome-guided breeding for higher yields and adaptability
Scientists from the Centre for Crop and Food Innovation (CCFI) at Murdoch University have participated in a landmark proof-of-concept research project demonstrating how pangenome-guided breeding strategies can reunite two traits that usually involve trade-offs: stress tolerance a
How barramundi research gives breeders more control
Barramundi farmers will soon be able to improve stock genetics by placing more emphasis on the sex of their breeding fish.
Both breeding and training influence dogs' capacity for communication, study finds
How have selectively breeding dogs across decades and individual training shaped the way that dogs communicate? New from JNeurosci, researchers at Harvard University, led by Mélina Cordeau, sought to answer this question by examining the brain structure of 108 dogs using a noninv
Traditional cattle herds' diversity hit by selective breeding
Decades of selective breeding and intensive agricultural practices have reshaped cattle genetics—often at the expense of valuable diversity preserved in traditional herds—according to new research from Aberystwyth University.
