For several decades, breeding goals in dairy cattle focussed on increased milk production.
However, many functional traits have negative genetic correlations with milk yield, and …

Breeding for disease resistance is a central focus of plant breeding programs, as any
successful variety must have the complete package of high yield, disease resistance …

Genomic selection can be applied prior to phenotyping, enabling shorter breeding cycles
and greater rates of genetic gain relative to phenotypic selection. Traits measured using …

High‐throughput phenotyping (HTP) platforms can be used to measure traits that are
genetically correlated with wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain yield across time. Incorporating …

A new breeding value that combines the amount of feed saved through improved metabolic
efficiency with predicted maintenance requirements is described. The breeding value …

Improved genetic, genomic and statistical technologies have increased the capacity to
enrich breeding populations for key alleles underpinning adaptation and continued genetic …

Phenotypes have been reviewed to select for lower-emitting animals in order to decrease
the environmental footprint of dairy cattle products. This includes direct selection for breath …

When information on multiple genotypes evaluated in multiple environments is recorded, a
multi-environment single trait model for assessing genotype× environment interaction (G× E) …

Early-generation (eg F2–F4) selection for grain yield itself is frustrated in particular by the
small amounts of seed available. However, there has long been an interest in traits related …

Genomic selection (GS) can be effective in breeding for quantitative traits, such as yield, by
reducing the selection cycle duration. Speed breeding (SB) uses extended photoperiod and …
