Association of GH polymorphisms with growth traits in buffaloes
Domestic Animal Endocrinology, 2021Members of the somatotrophic axis, especially GH and IGF1, are essential for growth. The association between GH polymorphisms and growth traits was numerously studied in cattle; however, no data are available for such association studies in buffalo.

Exaggerated Trait Growth in Insects
Annual Review of Entomology, 2015Animal structures occasionally attain extreme proportions, eclipsing in size the surrounding body parts. We review insect examples of exaggerated traits, such as the mandibles of stag beetles (Lucanidae), the claspers of praying mantids (Mantidae), the elongated hindlimbs of grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Caelifera), and the giant heads of soldier ants ...

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

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
