Study on the Detection of Dairy Cows’ Self-Protective Behaviors Based on Vision Analysis by Jia Li, Pei Wu, Feilong Kang, Lina Zhang, Chuanzhong Xuan

“…The study of the self-protective behaviors of dairy cows suffering dipteral insect infestation is important for evaluating the breeding environment and cows’ selective breeding. The current practices for measuring diary cows’ self-protective behaviors are mostly by human observation, which is not only tedious but also inefficient and inaccurate. …”

Control of meiotic crossing over in plant breeding by S. R. Strelnikova, R. A. Komakhin

“…The parameters of meiotic crossing over that have developed in the course of evolution are determined by natural selection and do not fully suit the tasks of selective breeding research. This review summarizes the results of experimental studies aimed at increasing the frequency of crossovers and redistributing their positions along chromosomes using genetic manipulations at different stages of meiotic recombination. …”
