From genetic gain to economic gain: simulated growth and financial performance of genetically improved Pinus sylvestris and Pinus pinaster planted stands in France, Finland and Sweden

, 2021
The translation of genetic gains into economic gains is important for evaluating the impact of using genetically improved forest reproductive material (FRM) in the forest sector.

Operational gain: Measuring the capture of genetic gain

The Southern African Forestry Journal, 2002
Synopsis The southern African forestry and forest products industry contributes two percent of the countries gross domestic product, yet is one ofthe most globalised industrial sectors. Forest product exports make up eight percent of the countries total exports and produce an annual net trade surplus of R5 billion.

Operational deployment of genetic gain

The Southern African Forestry Journal, 2001
Tree improvement is central to increasing plantation productivity per unit land area in many countries that rely on an exotic fast grown plantation resource as a source of wood and fibre. In order to achieve an acceptable return on the investment made in tree breeding, it is important that material be deployed with both good husbandry and on sites ...

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.

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

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 ...

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 algorithm based gain scheduling

Proceedings of the 2002 Congress on Evolutionary Computation. CEC'02 (Cat. No.02TH8600), 2003
We designed a feedforward control law that greatly decreases the load sway of a shipboard crane due to ship rolling. This feedforward control uses measurements of ship rolling angle at each instant. At different operating points the optimal feedforward gain changes while is numerically computable.
