Mapping of quantitative trait loci for growth and carcass traits in commercial sheep populations.
Journal of animal science, 2004Quantitative trait loci analyses were applied to data from Suffolk and Texel commercial sheep flocks in the United Kingdom. The populations comprised 489 Suffolk animals in three half-sib families and 903 Texel animals in nine half-sib families. Phenotypic data comprised measurements of live weight at 8 and 20 wk of age and ultrasonically measured fat ...

Quantitative trait loci affecting growth in high growth (hg) mice
Mammalian Genome, 2001A genome-wide scan was performed in order to identify Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) associated with growth in a population segregating high growth (hg), a partially recessive mutation that enhances growth rate and body size in the mouse. A sample of 262 hg/hg mice was selected from a C57BL/6J-hg/hg x CAST/EiJ F2 cross and typed with 79 SSLP markers ...

Fast Screening of Bacteria for Plant Growth Promoting Traits
2020Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) are a group of beneficial microorganisms that can positively influence plant fitness and development by improving nutrient acquisition, influencing global plant hormone levels (direct effect), or by reducing the detrimental effects of various pathogens on plant development (indirect effect).

Growth‐mortality tradeoffs and ‘personality traits’ in animals
Ecology Letters, 2007AbstractConsistent individual differences in boldness, reactivity, aggressiveness, and other ‘personality traits’ in animals are stable within individuals but vary across individuals, for reasons which are currently obscure. Here, I suggest that consistent individual differences in growth rates encourage consistent individual differences in behavior ...

Effect of genotype on growth traits of rabbits
International Journal of Agriculture and Rural Development, 2006Genotype effect on growth traits of rabbits were investigated in a randomised complete block design using one hundred and twenty - 10-week-old breeding rabbits. The breeds of rabbits used were New Zealand white, Dutch, chinchilla and were characterized using body weight (BW), heart girth (HG), shoulder to tail (ST), head to shoulder (HS), ear length ...

Heterosis in Tomato for Growth and Yield Traits
International Journal of Vegetable Science, 2017Heterosis breeding is used to improve yield quantity and quality of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) because traditional methods cannot be used to achieve this goal.

Growth rate and carcass traits in capons
Acta agriculturae Slovenica. Suplement, 2001Thirty-nine capons and slips of Slovenian provenance barred Prelux (Prelux-G) and thirty-eight capons and slips of Slovenian autochthonous Styrian breed (partridge variation) were comprised in an experiment in order to compare their growth performance and carcass traits. Prelux-G cockerels were caponized at age eight weeks, and Styrian ones at age nine

Competition‐Induced Trait Variability Obscures Trait–Growth Relationships of Tree Seedlings
Ecology LettersABSTRACT Trait‐based ecology seeks to improve plant growth predictions by incorporating individual trait variability, yet empirical studies have shown that even individual‐level traits struggle to predict growth due to unclear mechanisms. In a 3‐year experiment measuring 10 functional traits and growth in 5188 seedlings, we found that

Quantitative trait loci for growth traits in C57BL/6J × DBA/2J mice
Mammalian Genome, 1999Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for body weight and tail length are mapped in an F2 population of 927 C57BL/6J x DBA/2J mice. We test the concordance between the locations of the mapped QTLs with those detected by changes of marker frequency under artificial selection in a previous experiment with the same base population.

Crossbreeding effects on reproductive traits of does and growth and carcass traits of kids
Small Ruminant Research, 1993A total of 146 does and 177 kids (90 males and 87 females) involved in the first crossing between Alpine bucks and Rove does were studied. Effect of breed was not significant on fertility, but highly significant (P < 0.01) on abortion and prolificacy of does. The Alpine breed was more prolific although more abortive than Rove.
