Misty (m) affects growth traits
American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 1998The misty ( m) coat color mutation is commonly maintained in linkage disequilibrium with the obesity mutation diabetes ( Leprdb) to serve as a marker for Leprdbgenotype. Comparisons among Leprdbgenotypes are made under the untested assumption that m has no effects on traits under investigation. We tested this assumption in a population segregating m in

Genetic Analysis of Growth Traits in Muzaffarnagari sheep
Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2003Data on 4112 Muzaffarnagari sheep, maintained at the Central Institute for Research on Goats, Makhdoom, Mathura, India, and recorded between 1976 and 1999, were analysed to study the growth-related traits and their genetic control. The average weights at birth, and at 12 months of age were 3.1 +/- 0.2 and 28.0 +/- 0.6 kg, respectively.

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, 2007Abstract Consistent 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 ...

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
