36 results about "Selective breeding" patented technology

Selective breeding (also called artificial selection) is the process by which humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop particular phenotypic traits (characteristics) by choosing which typically animal or plant males and females will sexually reproduce and have offspring together. Domesticated animals are known as breeds, normally bred by a professional breeder, while domesticated plants are known as varieties, cultigens, cultivars, or breeds. Two purebred animals of different breeds produce a crossbreed, and crossbred plants are called hybrids. Flowers, vegetables and fruit-trees may be bred by amateurs and commercial or non-commercial professionals: major crops are usually the provenance of the professionals.

Heat-tolerant soft-shell clams

This invention relates to the development of heat-tolerant soft-shell clam (Mya arenaria) lines for aquaculture through selective breeding and molecular genetic approaches. Two methods are employed: (1) phenotype-based selection, in which clams are exposed to natural or controlled heat shock conditions (30-33° C.) and survivors are selected across successive generations and multiple populations; and (2) marker-assisted selection (MAS), utilizing single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to select broodstock capable of producing heat-tolerant offspring. The resulting lines exhibit enhanced survival and endurance under elevated temperatures, particularly above the species' critical threshold of 28° C. These heat-tolerant clams enable sustainable aquaculture production in Maryland and other warm, low-salinity estuaries where soft-shell clams historically failed to survive summer heat.
