Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) mapping for growth traits in the mouse: A review [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2001 The attainment of a specific mature body size is one of the most fundamental differences among species of mammals. Moreover, body size seems to be the central factor underlying differences in traits such as growth rate, energy metabolism and body composition. An important proportion of this variability is of genetic origin.

Single-trait bayesian analysis of some growth traits in japanese quail [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Ciência Avícola, 2014 The aim of this study was to estimate the heritability for some growth traits of Japanese quail through the estimation of variance components by Bayesian methodology. For this purpose, 340 progenies of 34 sires were used. Live weight (LW42) and absolute and relative growth rates at 42 days of age (AGR42 and RGR42, respectively) were submitted to single-

Plant trait measurement in 3D for growth monitoring
Plant Methods, 2022 Abstract Background There is a demand for non-destructive systems in plant phenotyping which could precisely measure plant traits for growth monitoring. In this study, the growth of chilli plants (Capsicum annum L.) was monitored in outdoor conditions.

Heterosis of growth and reproductive traits in fowl
Poultry Science, 2002 Long-term divergent selection for high (HH) and low (LL) BW at 56 d of age in White Plymouth Rock chickens resulted in deviations from a typical chronological timeline for reproductive development. Line HH chickens of the 42nd generation of selection (S(42)) were heavier at 28, 56, 168, and 266 d of age, as well as at sexual maturity than those from ...
