Multistage selection for genetic gain by orthogonal transformation. [PDF]
Abstract An exact transformed culling method for any number of traits or stages of selection with explicit solution for multistage selection is described in this paper. This procedure does not need numerical integration and is suitable for obtaining either desired genetic gains for a variable proportion selected or optimum aggregate ...

Breeding techniques to dispense higher genetic gains
Plant breeding techniques encompass all the processes aimed at improving the genetic characteristics of a crop. It helps in achieving desirable characteristics like resistance to diseases and pests, tolerance to environmental stresses, higher yield and improved quality of the crop.

Genetic and phenotypic spectrum associated with IFIH1 gain‐of‐function [PDF]
IFIH1 gain-of-function has been reported as a cause of a type I interferonopathy encompassing a spectrum of autoinflammatory phenotypes including Aicardi-Goutières syndrome and Singleton Merten syndrome. Ascertaining patients through a European and North American collaboration, we set out to describe the molecular, clinical and interferon status of a ...

Genetic parameters for social effects on survival in cannibalistic layers: Combining survival analysis and a linear animal model [PDF]
Background Mortality due to cannibalism in laying hens is a difficult trait to improve genetically, because censoring is high (animals still alive at the end of the testing period) and it may depend on both the individual itself and the behaviour of its ...

Genetic analysis of environmental variation [PDF]
Environmental variation (V-E) in a quantitative trait - variation in phenotype that cannot be explained by genetic variation or identifiable genetic differences - can be regarded as being under some degree of genetic control. Such variation may be either

Phenotypic assessment of genetic gain from selection for improved drought tolerance in semi-tropical maize populations [PDF]
Most maize production across the globe is rain-fed, and production is set to be negatively impacted as duration and occurrence of droughts increases due to climate change.

Selection of parental lines for plant breeding via genomic prediction
A set of superior parental lines is imperative for the development of high-performing inbred lines in any biparental crossing program for crops. The main objectives of this study are to (a) develop a genomic prediction approach to identify superior ...
