Selective breeding is a fundamental tool for improving growth performance in aquaculture species. This study evaluated the realized response to selection, heritability, and genetic gain for three economically important traits consisting of shell length, soft tissue weight, and whole weight in the commercial edible Portuguese oyster ( Crassostrea angulata ) across three consecutive selection generations (S4, S5, and S6) and the...

Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) is a major constraint on wheat production in Korea, reducing grain quality and end-use value. To accelerate the development of PHS-resistant cultivars with improved agronomic performance, we employed a marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) approach using molecular markers previously reported in the literature. For foreground selection, 81 molecular markers (74 KASP and 7 gel-based) targeting key genes...
