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 ...

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

Bayesian threshold analysis of litter size in sheep
Revista Colombiana de Ciencias Pecuarias, 2022 Background: Litter size at birth (LSB) is one of the most important economic traits in sheep and could be used in genetic improvement schemes for meat production.
