Genetic Parameters of Stem and Wood Traits in Full-Sib Silver Birch Families [PDF]
Forests, 2021 This study investigated heritability of stem and wood traits to improve Swedish silver birch (Betula pendula Roth.) through breeding. Birch is 12% of Sweden’s forest area but mainly used for low value pulp or firewood. This paper applied non-destructive test (NDT) methods, and estimated traits’ heritability (h2), to help breed birch for high value ...

Physiological responses of seeds from full-sib guava families to different substrate temperatures [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Fruticultura, 2020 Guava is an important fruit in Brazil and worldwide. However, research has yet to advance on its breeding and seed technology, an essential factor for the development of productive genotypes with germination potential which would support the continuity ...

3FunMap: full-sib family functional mapping of dynamic traits [PDF]
Bioinformatics, 2011 Abstract Motivation: Functional mapping that embeds the developmental mechanisms of complex traits shows great power to study the dynamic pattern of genetic effects triggered by individual quantitative trait loci (QTLs). A full-sib family, produced by crossing two heterozygous parents, is characteristic of uncertainties about cross-type ...

Sample size for full-sib family evaluation in sugarcane [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2009 The objective of this study was to determine the minimum number of plants per plot that must be sampled in experiments with sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) full-sib families in order to provide an effective estimation of genetic and phenotypic parameters of yield-related traits.

Training set design in genomic prediction with multiple biparental families
The Plant Genome, 2021 Genomic selection is a powerful tool to reduce the cycle length and enhance the genetic gain of complex traits in plant breeding. However, questions remain about the optimum design and composition of the training set.

Model selection for quantitative trait loci mapping in a full-sib family [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2012 Statistical methods for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in full-sib forest trees, in which the number of alleles and linkage phase can vary from locus to locus, are still not well established. Previous studies assumed that the QTL segregation pattern was fixed throughout the genome in a full-sib family, despite the fact that this pattern can ...

Efficiency of selection within sugarcane families via simulated individual BLUP [PDF]
Crop Breeding and Applied Biotechnology, 2015 The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of the simulated individual BLUP (BLUPIS) method in selecting genotypes within full-sib families of sugarcane in ratoon stage, through comparison with selection using the individual BLUP method.

ESTIMATION OF SOME GENETICAL PARAMETERS AND THEIR IMPLICATION ON YIELD IMPROVEMENT IN MAIZE USING TWO SELECTION METHODS [PDF]
Journal of Plant Production, 2013 Prediction is of great importance for the reasoning on the feasibility of completion the selection process. In this study, we compared the expected effectiveness of two intrapopulation selection methods of S1 progeny and half-sib progeny via Design I ...

Analysis of correlation structure in Lymantria dispar L. larvae from locally adapted populations [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2013 The influence of allelochemical stress and population origin on the patterns of phenotypic and genetic correlations among life history traits and digestive enzyme activities were investigated in larvae of the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L ...
