Local and exotic germplasm of tomato remains a major source for genetic improvement. Assessment of such lines for biotic stresses particularly viral diseases are the most important criteria for selection in Pakistan, where Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV) and Tomato Mosaic Virus (ToMV) are the major...
The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters and genetic trends of different conformation and management traits regularly measured within the context of the National Dairy Gir Breeding Program (PNMGL). The estimation of genetic and residual variances for each trait was performed using a...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the reproductive traits of the non-inbred and inbred AquaAmérica, GIFT and AquaAmérica × GIFTgenetic groups. Six fish from each genetic group were used (2 females:1 male). Females were examined for the presence of eggs in their mouth at every four days, for 12 wee...
Tambaqui, Colossoma macropomum, is one of the most produced species in Brazilian fish farming, which has boosted the development of new technologies to increase its productivity. The aim of this study was to evaluate production performance in two second-generation tambaqui stocks selectively bred for wei...
We highlight the importance of the mixed genetic approaches (classical and currents) to improve the social perception related to the GMOs acceptance. We pointed out that CRISPR/Cas9 events could carry DNA variability/rearrangements related to somaclonal variations or epigenetic changes that are independe...
Resumo: A aplicação da engenharia genética no esporte desperta o debate com a criação dos atletas geneticamente modificados, a partir do doping genético. Nesse sentido, busca-se nestes estudos abordar o melhoramento genético no esporte, apresentando seus principais questionamentos bioéticos e bio...
Albinism is a genetic disease characterized by deficient melanin production making affected animals more susceptible to skin problems, negatively influencing production systems of the same. In buffalo, a nonsense mutation (c.1431G>A) in the tyrosinase gene was already described, which is responsible f...
El aumento de las temperaturas y el cambio en los regímenes pluviales tienen efectos directos sobre el rendimiento de los cultivos, el maracuyá no tolera épocas secas marcadas, lo que puede resultar en poca inducción floral y en caída de frutos, hasta la defoliación de la planta. El mejoramiento ge...
A mandioca é uma cultura importante no Brasil e no Norte do país, e a podridão mole da raiz tem afetado a produção. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar caracteres morfoanatômicos e histoquímicos da raiz associados à resistência à podridão da raiz. Em áreas sem ocorrência da doença, no...
