Quantitative genetics model as the unifying model for defining genomic relationship and inbreeding coefficient. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The traditional quantitative genetics model was used as the unifying approach to derive six existing and new definitions of genomic additive and dominance relationships.

Genetics of grain yield and its component traits in maize (Zea mays L.)
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2022 The six essential generations (2 parents, F1, F2 and backcrosses) of the cross NAI-137 × 97B developed from two parents distinguishable for grain yield were evaluated to construe the genetics of grain yield and its component quantitative traits during ...

Genetic architecture studies of yield and its components in castor
Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2018 Generation mean analysis implies to study genetics of seed yield and its components in castor (Ricinus communis L.) through generation mean analysis. The additive-dominance model was found adequate for days to maturity of primary spikes in cross I (AKC-

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2017 In quantitative genetics, the average effect at a single locus can be estimated by an additive (A) model, or an additive plus dominance (AD) model. In the presence of dominance, the AD-model is expected to be more accurate, because the A-model falsely ...
