In this study, the Illumina BovineSNP50 BeadChip (Illumina, San Diego, CA; [ 25]) was used because of its popularity to estimate genomic breeding values [ 39].
The popularity of Koshihikari influenced subsequent rice breeding trends at regional agricultural experimental stations, and the characteristics of newly developed rice cultivars in Japan are usually rated relative to Koshihikari, which is used as the benchmark.
Interestingly, recent advances in plant breeding techniques may increase the utility and rebound the popularity of the more traditional GMO method of selective breeding.
By the 18th century, bullfighting's popularity had grown sufficiently to make bull breeding financially profitable, and herds were bred for specific characteristics.
The breed deteriorated in the 1930s, when poor management practices resulted in a reduction of the breeding stock, but today has regained some of its popularity.
