Genetic variation is usually estimated empirically from statistics based on population gene
frequencies, but alternative statistics based on allelic diversity (number of allelic types) can …

Simple Summary Using microsatellite data, we analyzed various cattle breeds of European
and Asian origins from different geo-climatic zones to study their genetic diversity, genetic …

The adaptive potential of a population depends on the amount of additive genetic variance
for quantitative traits of evolutionary importance. This variance is a direct function of the …

Management programmes often have to make decisions based on the analysis of the
genetic properties and diversity of populations. Expected heterozygosity (or gene diversity) …

One of the main objectives of conservation programs is the maintenance of genetic diversity
because this provides the adaptive potential of populations to face new environmental …

Blossom end rot (BER) is mainly a calcium (Ca2+) deficiency-related physiological disorder
of fruits that affects various crop production worldwide including tomato (Solanum …

Domestic animals play a key role in human survival and the development of civilization.
However, the genetic resources of domestic animals are facing an alarming rate of erosion …

We study here the effect of using genome‐wide marker data versus genealogical data in
population management for the maintenance of diversity in conservation schemes using …

Abstract English yew (Taxus baccata L.) is a strictly outcrossing and dioecious species with
small and isolated populations, which has led to its endangered species status within its …

Preservation of genetic diversity is one of the most pressing challenges in the planetary
boundaries concept. Within this context, we focused on genetic diversity in a native …
