• Characterization of flowering time diversity in Miscanthus species (2011, background): “Wilkins & Humphreys (2003) observed a similar trend for perennial ryegrass and concluded that single site selection was acceptable for a breeding programme.”
• An association mapping approach to identify flowering time genes in natural populations of Lolium perenne (L.) (2005, background): “perenne, since concerted breeding of this crop has only taken place over the last 100 years, which implies that a lot of potentially useful variation is still unexplored (Wilkins and Humphreys 2003).”
• Interrelationships among Forage Nutritive Value and Quantity and Individual Animal Performance (2011, background): “Among the many factors that aff ect forage quantity and NVAL on pasture are species and cultivar selection (Casler, 2000; Wilkins and Humphreys, 2003), defoliation frequency (Vendramini et al.”
• Theoretical Expected Genetic Gains for Among‐and‐Within‐Family Selection Methods in Perennial Forage Crops (2008, methodology): “Further, when measured directly, yield is often evaluated on spaced plants rather than swards, even though the genetic correlation of yield under these two conditions is known to be low in most cases (Wilkins and Humphreys, 2003).”
• Quantitative trait loci for water-soluble carbohydrates and associations with agronomic traits in wheat (2008, background): “2002), and WSC-C and flowering date in perennial ryegrass (Wilkins and Humphreys 2003).”
• REVIEW: PART OF A HIGHLIGHT ON BREEDING STRATEGIES FOR FORAGE AND GRASS IMPROVEMENT Advanced phenotyping offers opportunities for improved breeding of forage and turf species (2012, background): “However, measurement of DMY in breeding programmes is not straightforward because there is often only poor agreement between yield measured on individual spaced plants and obtained yield in productive swards (Wilkins and Humphreys, 2003).”
• Effects of shrub encroachment on herbage production and nutritive value in semi-arid Mediterranean grasslands (2007, background): “The most important measures of the nutritive value of herbage are in vitro digestibility and the concentrations of CP and fibre (Wilkins and Humphreys, 2003).”
• Requirements of future grass-based ruminant production systems in Ireland (2011, background): “Previous research has shown that genetic improvement in forage digestibility results in improved animal performance by increasing both the energy content of the diet and DMI (Wilkins and Humphreys 2003).”
• Breeding perennial grasses for forage usage: An experimental assessment of trait changes in diploid (2011, background): “Energy content of forage depends mainly on fibre degradability in rumen and on WSC content (Wilkins and Humphreys, 2003).”
