Pre-breeding Strategies
In general terms, pre-breeding links needed traits to new varieties and encompasses activities from discovery research, exploration of gene banks,...

Omics-driven utilization of wild relatives for empowering pre-breeding in pearl millet
Main conclusionPearl millet wild relatives harbour novel alleles which could be utilized to broaden genetic base of cultivated species....

Harnessing potential grain traits from pre-breeding backcross introgression lines of wild emmer wheat
Grain size and grain weight are key productivity traits in wheat. The evolutionary lineage of cultivated wheat harbours haplotypes with fixed allele...

Pre-breeding of spontaneous Robertsonian translocations for density planting architecture by transferring Agropyron cristatum chromosome 1P into wheat
Key messageWe developed T1AL·1PS and T1AS·1PL Robertsonian translocations by breakage-fusion mechanism based on wheat-A. cristatum 1P(1A)...

Pyramiding wheat pre-harvest sprouting resistance genes in triticale breeding
Pre -harvest sprouting (PHS) is an important problem in cereal production reducing yield and grain quality. After decades of improvement, triticale...

Pre-selection against a lethal recessive allele in breeding schemes with optimum-contribution selection or truncation selection
BackgroundWe tested the hypothesis that breeding schemes with a pre-selection step, in which carriers of a lethal recessive allele (LRA) were culled,...

Genetics of yield component traits under salt stress at flowering stage and selection of salt tolerant pre-breeding lines for rice improvement
Rice is highly vulnerable to salt stress at both seedling and flowering stage. While research efforts largely focused on seedling stage salinity...

Screening of sugar beet pre-breeding populations and breeding lines for resistance to Ditylenchus dipsaci penetration and reproduction
Ditylenchus dipsaci is an economically important plant-parasitic nematode affecting European sugar beets. To date, no sugar beet cultivars carrying...

Identification of a Stable Drought-Tolerant High-Yielding Line for Chickpea Crop Improvement
Chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.) is grown in marginal land with low input and is, therefore, drought-prone. In order to develop a drought-tolerant line,...

Fatty acid desaturase-2 (ahFAD2) mutant alleles in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) pre-breeding lines: an insight into the source, features, discourse, and selection of novel pre-breeding lines
High oleic peanuts and derived food products offer longer shelf life benefits to the food processing industry in addition to multiple health benefits...

Contrasting associations between nestling telomere length and pre and postnatal helpers’ presence in a cooperatively breeding bird
Studies on cooperative breeders have addressed the effects of non-breeding ‘helpers’ on reproduction and parental care, but the consequences for...

Lessons from a GWAS study of a wheat pre-breeding program: pyramiding resistance alleles to Fusarium crown rot
Much has been published on QTL detection for complex traits using bi-parental and multi-parental crosses (linkage analysis) or diversity panels (GWAS...

Population Genomics Along With Quantitative Genetics Provides a More Efficient Valorization of Crop Plant Genetic Diversity in Breeding and Pre-breeding Programs
The breeding efforts of the twentieth century contributed to large increases in yield but selection may have increased vulnerability to environmental...

Artificial selection in breeding extensively enriched a functional allelic variation in TaPHS1 for pre-harvest sprouting resistance in wheat
Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) causes significant losses in wheat yield and quality worldwide. Previously, we cloned a PHS resistance gene, TaPHS1 , and...

Characterization of the powdery mildew resistance locus in wheat breeding line Jimai 809 and its breeding application
Powdery mildew, caused by Blumeria graminis f. sp. tritici ( Bgt ), is a severe disease that affects the yield and quality of wheat. Popularization of...

Molecular insight into drought tolerance of CR Dhan 40: an upland rice line from Eastern India
To reveal the genetic potentiality of a rice line for stress tolerance, the conventional way is physiological and biochemical profiling under induced...

Lateral line system diversification during the early stages of ecological speciation in cichlid fish
BackgroundThe mechanosensory lateral line system is an important sensory modality in fishes, informing multiple behaviours related to survival...

Estimation of dam line composition of 3-way crossbred animals using genomic information
BackgroundIn genomic prediction including data of 3- or 4-way crossbred animals, line composition is usually fitted as a regression on expected line...
