Efficient Breeding by Genomic Mating
Selection in breeding programs can be done by using phenotypes (phenotypic selection), pedigree relationship (breeding value selection) or molecular markers (marker assisted selection or genomic selection). All these methods are based on truncation selection, focusing on the best performance of parents before mating. In this article we proposed an approach to breeding, named genomic mating, whi...
متن کاملAssortative Mating in Urban-breeding Merlins
We examined assortative mating behavior in 149 pairs of Merlins (Falco columbarius) breeding in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada from 1985 through 1990. Yearlings paired with yearlings and adults (2-plus years old) paired with adults more frequently than expected. Among adult pairs, however, there was no significant assortment by age. The productivity of pairs which included a yearling member wa...

متن کاملImplications of Mating Behavior in Watermelon Breeding
Understanding the natural mating behavior (selfor cross-pollination) in watermelon is important to the design of a suitable breeding strategy. The objective of this study was to measure the rate of selfand cross-pollination in watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai] using the dominant gene Sp (Spotted leaves and fruit) as a marker. The experiment consisted of two studies and was...
متن کاملBiotechnology Input in Fish Breeding
Pisciculture, to increase the fish production, has a crucial limitation. Fish cultured in land-locked water bodies usually do not breed without the hormonal induction. Technology of fish breeding suffered for a long time due to the lack of suitable commercial product to induce the spawning of economically important fish. Hypophysation technique, where pituitary extract was used to induce the br...
