Genetic components of birth weight of texel sheep reared in extensive system
Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2017 This study aimed to estimate the components of (co)variance, genetic and phenotypic parameters and trends for birth weight. We used 783 birth weight records, between 2012 to 2016, of Texel sheep reared in extensive system.

Prenatal maternal effects on body condition score, female fertility, and milk yield of dairy cows [PDF]
, 2007 In this study, maternal effects were described as age of dam at first and second calving, first-lactation body condition score (BCS) of the dam during gestation, and milk yield of the dam.

Phenotypic variance predicts symbiont population densities in corals: a modeling approach. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 We test whether the phenotypic variance of symbionts (Symbiodinium) in corals is closely related with the capacity of corals to acclimatize to increasing seawater temperatures.

Genetic variability estimates in induced population of sesame (Sesamum indicum)
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2014 An investigation was carried out to study the nature and magnitude of induced genetic variability in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.). Seeds of three sesame genotypes, Rama, SI 1666 and IC 21706 were treated with three doses of g-rays (200 Gy, 400 Gy and 600

The Genetic Architecture for Phenotypic Plasticity of the Rice Grain Ionome
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The ionome of the rice grain is crucial for the health of populations that consume rice as a staple food. However, the contribution of phenotypic plasticity to the variation of rice grain ionome and the genetic architecture of phenotypic plasticity are ...

Individual phenotypic variances in a family with Avellino corneal dystrophy [PDF]
BMC Ophthalmology, 2013 Avellino corneal dystrophy (ACD) is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterized by the presence of deposits in the anterior stroma, and results from a specific mutation (R124H) in the transforming growth factor beta-induced gene (TGFBI). This report presents corneal dystrophy of the Bowman layer as a rare phenotypic appearance of ACD and a high intra-

Ecological genetics of an induced plant defense against herbivores: additive genetic variance and costs of phenotypic plasticity [PDF]
, 2002 Adaptive phenotypic plasticity in chemical defense is thought to play a major role in plant-herbivore interactions. We investigated genetic variation for inducibility of defensive traits in wild radish plants and asked if the evolution of induction is ...

Relative abundance data can misrepresent heritability of the microbiome
Microbiome, 2023 Background Host genetics can shape microbiome composition, but to what extent it does, remains unclear. Like any other complex trait, this important question can be addressed by estimating the heritability (h 2 ) of the microbiome—the proportion of ...
