Genomic prediction models for multi-year dry matter yield, via genotyping-by-sequencing in a composite training set, demonstrate potential genetic gain improvement through within-half sibling family selection. Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) is key source of nutrition ruminant livestock temperate environments worldwide. Higher seasonal and annual yield herbage (DMY) principal breeding objective but the historical realised rate DMY modest. selection was investigated as tool to enhance...
Developing a genomic selection (GS) strategy for ryegrass requires field data training GS models and to gain insight into how agronomic performance varies, within among populations across locations. Families from five perennial breeding are being evaluated in eight trials Northland, Waikato, Hawke's Bay, Manawatu Canterbury establish set development of model. Statistically robust variances evident families populations, both visual scoring herbage bulk dry matter measurements. Multi-trial...
Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) is a bacterial pathogen of kiwifruit. This causes leaf-spotting, cane dieback, wilting, cankers (lesions), and in severe cases, plant death. Families diploid A. chinensis seedlings grown the field show range susceptibilities to disease with up 100% some families succumbing Psa. But effect selection for resistance Psa on alleles that remain surviving has not been assessed. The objective this work was analyse, removal from allele frequency an...
Latania scale (Hemiberlesia lataniae Signoret) is an armoured insect known to cause damage kiwifruit plants and fruit, which ultimately reduces crop values creates post-harvest export quarantine issues. Resistance H. does exist in some commercial cultivars of kiwifruit. However, the bred New Zealand have not inherited alleles for resistance carried by their parents. To elucidate architecture parents develop molecular markers assist breeding, these experiments analysed inheritance from...
Production of Actinidia chinensis (kiwifruit) is a billion- dollar industry in New Zealand that threatened by various pests and diseases. Armoured scale insects, leafroller insects disease caused the bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) all cause economic loss to kiwifruit because damage they inflict market access restrictions imposed if their presence detected. Examining available germplasm pool for resistance armoured insect (Hemiberlesia lataniae) was identified as
