Accelerating crop genetic gains with genomic selection

Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2018
Genomic prediction based on additive genetic effects can accelerate genetic gain. There are opportunities for further improvement by including non-additive effects that access untapped sources of genetic diversity. Several studies have reported a worrying gap between the projected global future demand for plant-based products and the current annual ...

Routes to genetic gain in potato

Nature Plants, 2018
Self-compatible diploid potatoes have been developed by knocking out the self-incompatibility gene S-RNase using CRISPR–Cas9 editing, opening new avenues for diploid potato breeding.

Gain scheduling optimization by genetic algorithms

Proceedings of 1995 American Control Conference - ACC'95, 2005
Gain scheduling is a simple and common means of providing adaptive control by varying controller parameters based on measurements of key system variables. While some theoretical foundation has been developed, it remains largely ad hoc, particularly in selecting the mapping from the measured variable to the controller parameter.

Potential Genetic Gain Through Tissue Culture

1987
Tissue culture, and its probable future developments, have the potential to greatly accelerate the genetic improvement of forest yield. Initially, improvement will result from the micropropagation of superior genotypes. Later, however, tissue culture may provide the essential route back to whole plants from germplasm, selected or further improved by ...

Genetic risk score for gestational weight gain

European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology
Gestational weight gain (GWG) involves health consequences for both mother and offspring. Genetic factors seem to play a role in the GWG trait. For small effect sizes of a single genetic polymorphism (SNP), a genetic risk score (GRS) summarizing risk-associated variation from multiple SNPs can serve as an effective approach to genetic association ...

Systematic gain-of-function genetics in Drosophila

Development, 1998
ABSTRACT A modular misexpression system was used to carry out systematic gain-of-function genetic screens in Drosophila. The system is based on inducible expression of genes tagged by insertion of a P-element vector carrying a GAL4-regulated promoter oriented to transcribe flanking genomic sequences. To identify genes involved in eye and

Mechanisms and Genetics of Antipsychotic-Associated Weight Gain

Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2011
Antipsychotic medications, which comprise one of the most widely prescribed medication classes, have proven effective in many psychiatric conditions. However, these agents can also be associated with obesity and other metabolic abnormalities, the mechanisms of which have been partially elucidated.

Possibilities for genetic gain in salmonids

Aquaculture, 1975
Abstract A review of the literature concerning phenotypic and genetic parameters for economic production traits in salmonids show that very few estimates are available. However, based on the present knowledge the possibilities for genetic gain in, for example, growth rate are extremely good even if conservative estimates are considered.

Genetic gain trials of radiata pine

1991
Forest tree improvement is when control of parentage is combined with other forest management activities, such as site preparation or fertilization, to improve the overall yields and quality of products from forests. Overall results of tree improvement have been so good that we no longer have difficulty in selling tree improvement.
