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-

Relationships between estimated autozygosity and complex traits in the UK Biobank [PDF]
, 2018 Inbreeding increases the risk of certain Mendelian disorders in humans but may also reduce fitness through its effects on complex traits and diseases. Such inbreeding depression is thought to occur due to increased homozygosity at causal variants that ...

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.

Evolved polygenic herbicide resistance in Lolium rigidum by low-dose herbicide selection within standing genetic variation [PDF]
, 2012 The interaction between environment and genetic traits under selection is the basis of evolution. In this study, we have investigated the genetic basis of herbicide resistance in a highly characterized initially herbicide-susceptible Lolium rigidum ...

Dominance Effects and Functional Enrichments Improve Prediction of Agronomic Traits in Hybrid Maize
Genetics, 2020 Single-cross hybrids have been critical to the improvement of maize (Zea mays L.), but the characterization of their genetic architectures remains challenging.

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 ...

Resistance to Ralstonia Solanacearum of sexual hybrids between Solanum commersonii and S. tuberosum [PDF]
, 2009 This research was carried out to study the levels of bacterial wilt resistance and genetic diversity of (near) pentaploid sexual hybrids between S. commersonii (2n = 2x = 24, 1EBN) and cultivated S. tuberosum.

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
