Key Genetic Parameters for Population Management [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 Population management has the primary task of maximizing the long-term competitiveness of a breed. Breeds compete with each other for being able to supply consumer demands at low costs and also for funds from conservation programs. The competition for consumer preference is won by breeds with high genetic gain for total merit who maintained a ...

Recurrent Interpopulation Selection in Popcorn: From Heterosis to Genetic Gains
Plants, 2023 In view of the need to develop new popcorn cultivars and considering the uncertainties in choosing the most appropriate breeding methods to ensure consistent genetic progress, simultaneously for both popping expansion and grain yield, this study ...

Estimated genetic parameters for all genetically evaluated traits in Canadian Holsteins.
Journal of Dairy Science, 2021 Genetic improvement is a crucial tool to deal with the increasing demand for high quality, sustainably produced dairy. Breeding programs are based on genetic parameters, such as heritability and genetic correlations, for economically important traits in ...

Genetic variability for vigor and yield of robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) clones in Ghana
Heliyon, 2022 Effectiveness of plant improvement programs, especially in perennial crops like coffee, may be improved by knowing the level of genetic variation which exist within a breeding population coupled with the knowledge of estimates of genetic parameters for ...

COMPARISON OF QUANTITATIVE GENETIC PARAMETERS [PDF]
Evolution, 1992 Shaw (1991) has described a maximum-likelihood procedure for comparing genetic covariance matrices between populations. While her efforts to expand the procedures available for quantitative genetic analyses are laudable, her discussion is incomplete in several respects. For example, consider her criticism of Dietz's matrix permutation test (Dietz, 1983)

Estimation of quantitative genetic parameters [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2005 This paper gives a short review of the development of genetic parameter estimation over the last 40 years. This shows the development of more statistically and computationally efficient methods that allow the fitting of more biologically appropriate models. Methods have evolved from direct methods based on covariances between relatives to methods based

Changes in genetic parameters for fitness and growth traits in pigs under genomic selection
Journal of Animal Science, 2020 Genomic selection increases accuracy and decreases generation interval, speeding up genetic changes in the populations. However, intensive changes caused by selection can reduce the genetic variation and can strengthen undesirable genetic correlations ...

Animals, 2022 The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for the analyzed fertility traits of Polish Holstein-Friesian primiparous and multiparous cows, as a step toward the incorporation of new traits into routine genetic evaluation.
