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 ...

Statistical Modeling of Epistasis and Linkage Decay using Logic Regression [PDF]
, 2008 Logic regression has been recognized as a tool that can identify and model non-additive genetic interactions using Boolean logic groups. Logic regression, TASSEL-GLM and SAS-GLM were compared for analytical precision using a previously characterized ...

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-

The Effects of Population Size Histories on Estimates of Selection Coefficients from Time-Series Genetic Data. [PDF]
, 2016 Many approaches have been developed for inferring selection coefficients from time series data while accounting for genetic drift. These approaches have been motivated by the intuition that properly accounting for the population size history can ...

SLiM: Simulating Evolution with Selection and Linkage [PDF]
, 2013 SLiM is an efficient forward population genetic simulation designed for studying the effects of linkage and selection on a chromosome-wide scale. The program can incorporate complex scenarios of demography and population substructure, various models for ...

20 questions on Adaptive Dynamics [PDF]
, 2005 Adaptive Dynamics is an approach to studying evolutionary change when fitness is density or frequency dependent. Modern papers identifying themselves as using this approach first appeared in the 1990s, and have greatly increased up to the present ...

Genetic Analysis of Anger: Genetic Dominance or Competitive Sibling Interaction [PDF]
Behavior Genetics, 2006 The knowledge of the causes and development of anger is still scarce. Previous studies on the sources of variance on Type A Behavior Pattern (TABP) related measures found variable heritability estimates ranging from 0.12 to 0.68, and large differences between MZ and DZ correlations. Some authors considered dominance genetic effects, competitive sibling
