Selection for desirable phenotypes has been practiced in cattle since their domestication approximately 10,000 years ago. This process, alongside breed development and genetic improvement programs, has led to the vast diversity of cattle breeds known today. Traditional breeding methods, grounded in quantitative theory, have facilitated continuous genetic gains in most economically important traits. However, until recently, selection has been conducted without knowledge of the specific genes infl

The soilborne mosaic in wheat is a viral disease whose negative effects on wheat production have become more frequent in several wheat regions in southern Brazil. This disease can reduce productivity by 50% if susceptible cultivars are sown in areas with inoculum and favorable environment conditions. In Brazil, the common mosaic is attributed to Soil-borne wheat mosaic virus (SBWMV) and also to Wheat spindle streak virus (WSSMV), both transmitted by Polymyxa graminis, pla
