Genetic characterization of mangalarga marchador breed horses based on microsatellite molecular markers
(W. B. Saunders Ltd, 2020-12)
The Mangalarga Marchador (MM) horse breed has expressive importance in the Brazilian economy. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate diversity in the MM breed. A database with a total of 3,193 genotyped horses was ...
Selection of parents and estimation of genetic parameters using BLUP and molecular methods for lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) breeding program in Argentina
(Cambridge University Press, 2020-02-29)
The most important objective of lentil breeding programs is to develop new genotypes that are genetically more productive. Besides, it is necessary that the varieties obtained have short flowering cycles to allow the later ...
Assessing Genetic Diversity for a Pre-Breeding Program in Piaractus mesopotamicus by SNPs and SSRs
(MDPI, 2019-08)
The pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) is a Neotropical fish with remarkable productive performance for aquaculture. Knowledge of genetic resources in Neotropical fish is essential for their applications in breeding programs. ...
Indigenous domestic breeds as reservoirs of genetic diversity: The Argentinean Creole cattle
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2001-10)
Contrary to highly selected commercial breeds, indigenous domestic breeds are composed of semi-wild or feral populations subjected to reduced levels of artificial selection. As a consequence, many of these breeds have ...
Genetic characterization of Mangalarga Marchador horse
(Elsevier Science, 2022-03)
Mangalarga Marchador (MM) is the most important Brazilian horse breed, with 600 thousand animals registered. The aim of this study carry out the genetic characterization of the breed. Samples were collected from 355 horses ...
Kinship and genetic mating system of the Grayish Baywing (Agelaioides badius), a cooperatively breeding Neotropical blackbird
(American Ornithologists' Union, 2017-04)
Kin selection theory predicts that extrapair mating should be rare in cooperatively breeding birds. However, most cooperative breeders are not genetically monogamous and the relationship between promiscuity and cooperative ...
Haplotypes traceability and genetic variability of the breeding population of pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) revealed by mitochondrial DNA
(Sociedade Brasileira de Genética, 2021-06)
The main objective of this study was to estimate the genetic diversity levels and haplotype traceability in pacu Piaractus mesopotamicus from the breeding program located in Brazil by analyses of the mitochondrial DNA ...
Improving initial trials in tree breeding using kinship and breeding values estimated in the wild: the case of Prosopis alba in Argentina
(Springer, 2015-05)
Most Argentinean forests have been lost by over exploitation and expansion of agricultural areas. The National breeding program for the native species Prosopis alba is still in its initial phase with only a few progeny ...
Additive genetic variance and covariance between relatives in synthetic wheat crosses with variable parental ploidy levels
(Oxford University Press, 2021-01-07)
Cultivated bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an allohexaploid species resulting from the natural hybridization and chromosome doubling of allotetraploid durum wheat (T. turgidum) and a diploid goatgrass Aegilops tauschii ...
