1. The long-term persistence of fragmented plant populations is predicted to be threatened by a loss of genetic variability and increasing inbreeding, which might lower offspring fitness through ...

Mating wraps up at Pāmu’s Kepler Farm as the across-breed Beef Progeny Test delivers critical data to lift New Zealand beef genetics and productivity.

Estimating the genetic merit of all individuals in a herd is required before a comprehensive selection and genetic improvement program can be successful. Performance records need to be collected on as ...

Cattle breeders have used genetic selection tools to change the majority of the major breeds significantly. Producers want to increase productivity and longevity of their herd to increase ...

The experimental measurement of additive genetic variation in plant populations is complicated by the potential for non-Mendelian inheritance. Maternal influences on progeny phenotype resulting from ...
