Genetic studies on leaf rolling and some root traits under drought conditions in rice (Oryza sativa L.) [PDF]
Crossing was made between three resistant and two susceptible parents to determine the genetic characteristics under drought conditions during 2002 and 2003 rice growing seasons.

Generation mean analysis for grain yield and its components in popcorn
Knowledge about genetic composition of a character helps plant breeders to plan their breeding programs. Grain yield and related traits are very important in maize breeding programs.

Statistical Inference for Genetic Relatedness Based on High-Dimensional Logistic Regression [PDF]
This paper studies the problem of statistical inference for genetic relatedness between binary traits based on individual-level genome-wide association data. Specifically, under the high-dimensional logistic regression models, we define parameters characterizing the cross-trait genetic correlation, the genetic covariance and the trait-specific genetic ...

Line × tester analysis in rapeseed: Identification of superior parents and combinations for seed yield and its components [PDF]
This research was carried out to investigate the genetic structure of the 20 F1s rapeseed hybrids established from five female moderate maturity lines and four early maturity male testers, to determine parents showing general combining ability (GCA) and ...

Premise Living collections maintained for generations are at risk of diversity loss, inbreeding, and adaptation to cultivation. To address these concerns, the zoo community uses pedigrees to track individuals and implement crosses that maximize founder ...

Parallel developmental genetic features underlie stickleback gill raker evolution. [PDF]
BackgroundConvergent evolution, the repeated evolution of similar phenotypes in independent lineages, provides natural replicates to study mechanisms of evolution.

Agronomic evaluation of four maize synthetics after recurrent selection for yield and evaluation of selected lines from the synthetics [PDF]
Reciprocal recurrent selection in the maize (Zea mays L.) populations, BSSS(R) and BSCB1(R), was compared with recurrent selection for general combining ability in BS13(S(,2)), and half-sib selection in the intervarietal cross, BS6(RS).

Molecular parentage analysis is essential in breeding Asian seabass.
In aquaculture species, maintaining pedigree information and genetic variation in each generation is essential, but very difficult. In this study, we used nine microsatellites to genotype 2,520 offspring from four independent full-factorial crosses (10 ...

Deep Visual-Genetic Biometrics for Taxonomic Classification of Rare Species [PDF]
Visual as well as genetic biometrics are routinely employed to identify species and individuals in biological applications. However, no attempts have been made in this domain to computationally enhance visual classification of rare classes with little image data via genetics.
