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

A longitudinal quantitative trait locus mapping of chicken growth traits
Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2018Since the growth traits of chickens are largely related to the production of meat and eggs, it is definitely important to understand genetic basis of growth traits. Although many quantitative trait loci (QTLs) that affect growth traits have recently been reported in chickens, little is known about genetic architecture of growth traits across all growth

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 ...

Age‐dependent quantitative trait loci affecting growth traits in Scottish Blackface sheep
Animal Genetics, 2009SummaryTo dissect age‐dependent quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with growth and to examine changes in QTL effects over time, the Gompertz growth model was fitted to longitudinal live weight data on 788 Scottish Blackface lambs from nine half‐sib families.

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.

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.

Predicting lean growth while accounting for correlated traits
Journal of Animal Science, 1992Lean tissue growth rate is usually estimated from indirect measurements including growth rate. A procedure to determine prediction equations for lean tissue growth rate is proposed. The procedure restricts the regression of fat growth rate on predicted lean growth rate to be equal to the regression of fat growth rate on actual lean growth rate.

Animal Science Journal, 2017
AbstractMale‐related traits at 180–225 days of age for 6464 grow‐finish performance tested boars were measured from 2000 to 2016. Heritability estimates and genetic correlations among average daily gain, feed efficiency, back fat thickness, teat counts, mounting libido, leg locomotion, penile length, sperm motility, sperm concentration and total sperm ...

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 ...

Plant Trait Segmentation for Plant Growth Monitoring
2020 35th International Conference on Image and Vision Computing New Zealand (IVCNZ), 20203D point cloud segmentation is an important step for plant phenotyping applications. The segmentation should be able to separate the various plant components such as leaves and stem robustly to enable traits to be measured. Also, it is important for the segmentation method to work on range of plant architectures with good accuracy and computation time.
