The dominance model for heterosis explains culm length genetics in a hybrid sorghum variety
Scientific Reports, 2021 Heterosis helps increase the biomass of many crops; however, while models for its mechanisms have been proposed, it is not yet fully understood. Here, we use a QTL analysis of the progeny of a high-biomass sorghum F1 hybrid to examine heterosis.

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 ...

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.

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-

Genetic Effects and Heterosis of Yield and Yield Component Traits Based on Gossypium Barbadense Chromosome Segment Substitution Lines in Two Gossypium Hirsutum Backgrounds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 We hybridized 10 chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) each from two CSSL populations and produced 50 F1 hybrids according to North Carolina Design II.

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 ...

Genetic analysis of some agronomic traits in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
International Journal of Agricultural Research, Innovation and Technology, 2013 A 10×10 half diallel experiment was conducted on groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) to ascertain the gene action and genetic parameters of ten traits including 50% flowering, no. of pods per plant, plant height, harvest index, pod index, 100 pod weight, 100

Genetic determinism in the Finnish upper secondary school biology textbooks
Nordina: Nordic Studies in Science Education, 2015 Genetics is a fast-developing field and it has been argued that genetics education is lagging behind. Genetics education has, for example, been suspected of indoctrinating strong genetic determinism. As the updating of the national upper secondary school
