The design of selection experiments using a model-based approach

Brian R. Cullis, Alison Barbara Smith, David GD Hughes, David L. Butler

Plant breeding programs use data obtained from multi-environment selection experiments to produce improved varieties with the ultimate aim of maintaining high levels of genetic gain. Selection accuracy can be improved with the use of advanced statistical analytical methods that use informative and …

A roadmap for kidney health for South Africa in the context of universal health coverage

Nicola Wearne, Mogamat‐Yazied Chothia, Feziwe Busiswa Bisiwe, Brian R. Cullis et autres

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in South Africa (SA) is a growing public health crisis, driven by the intersecting burdens of HIV, tuberculosis, hypertension, diabetes and obesity. In Black African populations, high-risk apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) variants add a genetic predisposition to non-diabetic kidney …

Hooking efficiencies of SMART drumlines and their possible deployment rates vs gillnets for bather protection

Paul A. Butcher, Matt Kenyon Broadhurst, Victor M. Peddemors, Aidan J. McGarty et autres

Introduction For 87 years, gillnets have been deployed off up to 51 beaches in New South Wales, Australia, to reduce bites on humans by white (Carcharodon carcharias), bull (Carcharhinus leucas), and tiger (Galeocerdo cuvier) sharks. Recently, to minimise unwanted fishing mortalities, baited …

Plant variety selection using interaction classes derived from factor analytic linear mixed models: models with information on genetic relatedness

Alison Barbara Smith, Arun S. K. Shunmugam, David Butler, Brian R. Cullis

Abstract The concept of interaction classes (iClasses) for multi-environment trial data was introduced to address the problem of summarising variety performance across environments in the presence of variety by environment interaction (VEI). The approach involves the fitting of a factor analytic linear …

Genotype‐by‐environment interaction for wheat falling number performance due to late maturity α‐amylase

William Fairlie, David G. D. Hughes, Brian R. Cullis, James Dean Edwards Jr. et autres

Abstract Late maturity α‐amylase (LMA) is known to reduce falling number (FN) in wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.), similar to the effect of preharvest sprouting (PHS) and frost, which can result in grain parcels testing below trading thresholds. Hence, Grains Australia mandates …

The CIMMYT Australia ICARDA Germplasm Evaluation concept: a model for international cooperation and impact

Richard M. Trethowan, J. M. Nıcol, Amit Kumar Singh, Ravi Prakash Singh et autres

Bread wheat germplasm is accessed from the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre (CIMMYT) and the International Centre for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) by Australian wheat breeders and researchers through the CIMMYT Australia ICARDA Germplasm Evaluation (CAIGE) program. The …

Wicked problem of improving fishery livelihoods through capacity building

Steven W. Purcell, Alejandro Tagliafico, Brian R. Cullis, Nicole Cocks

Development programs can train fishers in value-adding but factors influencing who is likely to benefit are not well understood. Small-scale fishers worldwide often fall short increasing the value of their catch and wellbeing benefits from their harvests. Here, we sought to improve …

Rapid and High Throughput Hydroponics Phenotyping Method for Evaluating Chickpea Resistance to Phytophthora Root Rot

Muhammad Ahsan Asif, S.L. Bithell, Ramethaa Pirathiban, Brian R. Cullis et autres

Phytophthora root rot (PRR) is a major constraint to chickpea production in Australia. Management options for controlling the disease are limited to crop rotation and avoiding high risk paddocks for planting. Current Australian cultivars have partial PRR resistance, and new sources of …

Frequency of Outcrossing and Isolation Distance in Faba Beans (Vicia faba L.)

Kedar Nath Adhikari, Lucy Burrows, Abdus Sadeque, Christopher Chung et autres

Faba beans (Vicia faba L.) constitute a partially outcrossing species requiring an isolation distance to maintain genetic purity when more than one variety is grown in field conditions. This information is crucial for seed growers and faba bean breeders. A study was …
