For example, the disease outbreak, weather changes, and improper breeding methods may lead to a decline in egg production, threatening the life and health of poultry. ...
As one of the most innovating plant breeding companies in the world, Lifeasible provides a wide range of plant breeding services from traditional breeding to modern molecular breeding. ...
It is also very simple in the usual breeding. As long as the fish feed pellets feeding regularly and quantitatively every day, change the water in time. ...
The result of that project showed that genomic selection can double the prediction accuracy for BCWD resistance compared to traditional breeding methods. Troutlodge implemented this technique in production stocks, which has led to faster improvements and increased resistance for each generation. ...
The first keynote speaker, Léon Broers (KWS Saat SE, Germany), will cover the evolution of crops and breeding methods with a special focus on the latest breeding methods as well as potential applications. His presentation will provide the future perspective on plant breeding innovation from the view of an ...
Watson is one of the world’s top cannabis breeding experts and is credited by many with assembling the world’s most comprehensive cannabis seed library. ...
Sugar beet is extremely interesting, especially since cultivation in the Netherlands has become highly efficient as a result of better varieties and breeding methods. This has significantly reduced the cost price, making the sugar beet a good option as a raw material for green ...
How can we biologically control the European tarnished plant bug and other plant bugs in the greenhouse? Wageningen UR, Entocare biocontrol CV and breeders have been working on a solution for many years. While a trap with pheromone attractant appears to be a good way, initial results show that the trap requires further optimisation to not only attract bugs but capture them as well. The right ...
Swaminathan Research Foundation are also trying other approaches: tweaking genes and cross-breeding plants by conventional means to discover which might grow and even flourish. ...
Researchers hope to use that variety to develop a gluten-free wheat using traditional breeding methods. An expert on celiac disease who reviewed Miller's plan online worries that it may prove "too simplistic," and fail to identify all the toxic sequences that can trigger a celiac reaction. ...
“Nearly all the traits they hope to achieve using GM technology already exist or can be developed using non-GM breeding methods,” says Rose. “Pro-GM researchers and policymakers must live in fear of being found out for their exaggerated claims in support of GM crops, and their unfounded denigration of the legitimate concerns of critical ...
The technologies allow targeted mutations that are more precise and scientifically predictable than mutations achieved through traditional breeding methods,” explained Dr MacRae. Such technologies are particularly important for forestry, which has long breeding cycles. ...
Public spending on agricultural research must double in the next decade if the world is to successfully move to sustainable methods of food production, says a UN-backed report. This funding must be coupled with long-term investment in the training of agricultural professionals to fill the skill gaps in many developing countries, concludes the report published yesterday by the ...
Innate™ Technology is a patented plant biotechnology process that works with a plant's own genes to enhance desirable traits and to decrease less desirable traits. Traditional plant breeding is a random method for crossing genetics with unpredictable results. ...
“This is a great time to be involved in white clover breeding” said Wayne Parrott, the senior researcher of the study at the University of Georgia. “We now have the tools to make it easier to breed important traits in this species which has historically proven to be a challenging plant to work with. ...
