The development of transgressive segregant (TS) selection on convergent breeding populations of S4 maize is a concept that is rarely applied. However, the development of TS is necessary to accelerate maize breeding pipelines. Therefore, the objectives of this study were (1) to develop the concept of TS selection and (2) to select S4 TS maize to be developed as hybrid cross parents.

Cyclaniliprole, a type of the third-generation anthranilic diamide insecticide, was mainly used for management of various pests. Myzus persicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae), known as the peach-potato aphid, is an economically essential pest with worldwide distribution. However, the risk assessment of cyclaniliprole in M.

: The domestication of the grey wolf () and subsequent creation of modern dog breeds have significantly shaped the genetic landscape of domestic canines. This study investigates the genomic effects of hybridization and breeding management practices in two hybrid wolfdog breeds: the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog (CSW) and the Saarloos Wolfdog (SAW). : We analyzed the genomes of 46 CSWs and 20 SAWs, comparing them to 12 German Shepherds (GSHs) and 20 wolves (WLFs), which served as their ancestral populations approximately 70-90 years ago.

Background: Runs of homozygosity (ROHs) and heterozygosity (ROHets) serve for the identification of genomic regions as candidates of selection, local adaptation, and population history.
Methods: The present study aimed to comprehensively explore the ROH and ROHet patterns and hotspots in Greek native dairy goats, Eghoria and Skopelos, genotyped with the Illumina Goat SNP50 BeadChip. SNP and functional enrichment analyses were conducted to further characterize hotspots and the candidate genes located within these genomic regions.

Genomic selection using white clover multi-year-multi-site data showed predicted genetic gains through integrating among-half-sibling-family phenotypic selection and within-family genomic selection were up to 89% greater than half-sibling-family phenotypic selection alone. Genomic selection, an effective breeding tool used widely in plants and animals for improving low-heritability traits, has only recently been applied to forages. We explored the feasibility of implementing genomic selection in white clover (Trifolium repens L.
