The predicted performance of nine crossbreeding strategies for milk production and reproductive traits and cow live weights (LW) were compared. The strategies were selected because of their superiority to many others. The data were from crosses of Ayrshire (A), Brown Swiss (B), Friesian (F) and S...

Processing of large numbers smaples of plant tissue samples for molecular mapping and gene tagging requires methods that are quick, simple, and cheap, and that eventually can be automated. Organic solvents used for DNA extraction can represent a significant proportion of the overall cost. In this...
