Genetic yield gain between 1942 and 2013 and associated changes in phenology, yield components and root traits of Australian barley
Background and AimsBarley breeding has increased yield over the last century, but the associated changes in the phenotype are largely unknown. Our...

Post-spawning growth acceleration in fish as a result of reduced live weight and thus, increased food conversion efficiency
The conventional view of spawning in iteroparous bony fish, i.e., the “reproductive drain hypothesis,” is based on the observation that somatic...

Branched-chain amino acid supplementation does not enhance lean tissue accretion in low birth weight neonatal pigs, despite lower Sestrin2 expression in skeletal muscle
Postnatal muscle growth is impaired in low birth weight (L) neonatal pigs. Leucine supplementation has been established as a dietary intervention to...
