Breeding without Breeding: Is a Complete Pedigree Necessary for Efficient Breeding?
Complete pedigree information is a prerequisite for modern breeding and the ranking of parents and offspring for selection and deployment decisions. DNA fingerprinting and pedigree reconstruction can substitute for artificial matings, by allowing parentage delineation of naturally produced offspring. Here, we report on the efficacy of a breeding concept called "Breeding without Breeding" (BwB) ...
متن کاملMountain Pine Beetle Epidemiology in Lodgepole Pine
The following brief synthesis of mountain pine beetle epidemiology is based on host-beetle interaction. In the first part I briefly describe the relationship between the dynamics of lodgepole pine and mountain pine beetle. The second part describes the phases in the infestation cycle and their main characteristics. This synthesis is based on published information on infestation behaviour in wes...
متن کاملExtending pedigree analysis for uncertain parentage and diverse breeding systems.
Breeding programs aimed at conserving genetic diversity in populations of wildlife or rare domestic breeds rely on detailed pedigree analysis for selection of breeders that will minimize the loss of alleles, reduce the accumulation of inbreeding, and maintain gene diversity. Commonly, techniques use a matrix of kinship coefficients to derive measures of genetic variation, inbreeding, and the va...
متن کاملPedigree analysis of four decades of Quarter Horse breeding.
Pedigrees of randomly selected Quarter Horses born in each of the years 1946, 1956, 1966 and 1976 and of winning halter, cutting and race horses born in the same years were evaluated and compared. Average inbreeding and inter se relationship levels and relationships of influential ancestors to the sample were calculated for each sample. The amount of Thoroughbred influence and the average gener...
متن کاملThe breeding of pedigree dogs: time for strong leadership.
A recent article in Genetics looked at population structure, genetic diversity and inbreeding in purebred dogs, not least as dogs are being used increasingly as models of human diseases (Calboli et al., 2008). The authors accessed the UK Kennel Club’s extensive registration database and analysed the pedigrees of 10 breeds with relatively large numbers of dogs registered over about eight generat...
