Identification and characterisation of hypomethylated DNA loci controlling quantitative resistance in Arabidopsis

eLife, 2019
Variation in DNA methylation enables plants to inherit traits independently of changes to DNA sequence. Here, we have screened an Arabidopsis population of epigenetic recombinant inbred lines (epiRILs) for resistance against Hyaloperonospora ...

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of hoarding symptoms in 27,537 individuals

Translational Psychiatry, 2022
Hoarding Disorder (HD) is a mental disorder characterized by persistent difficulties discarding or parting with possessions, often resulting in cluttered living spaces, distress, and impairment.

Which mouse multiparental population is right for your study? The Collaborative Cross inbred strains, their F1 hybrids, or the Diversity Outbred population

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2023
Multiparental populations (MPPs) encompass greater genetic diversity than traditional experimental crosses of two inbred strains, enabling broader surveys of genetic variation underlying complex traits. Two such mouse MPPs are the Collaborative Cross (CC)

Heritability of Horn Size in Thinhorn Sheep

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
Understanding the genetic basis of fitness-related trait variation has long been of great interest to evolutionary biologists. Secondary sexual characteristics, such as horns in bovids, are particularly intriguing since they can be potentially affected ...

Heritability and gene effects for yield related quantitative traits in eggplant

Annals of Agricultural Sciences, 2016
AbstractKnowledge of gene actions and their relative contribution in expression of characters is of great importance. Therefore, four crosses were made among the six parents viz., Doli-5×GBL-1 (cross 1), Doli-5×KS-331 (cross 2), Pusa Uttam×KS-331 (cross 3) and AB 07-02×GOB 1 (cross 4) to study gene actions responsible for inheritance of twelve fruit ...

Spring Is Coming: Genetic Analyses of the Bud Break Date Locus Reveal Candidate Genes From the Cold Perception Pathway to Dormancy Release in Apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Chilling requirement (CR) for bud dormancy completion determines the time of bud break in apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.). The molecular control of bud dormancy is highly heritable, suggesting a strong genetic control of the trait. An available Infinium

Genetics of the Inverse Relationship between Grain Yield and Grain Protein Content in Common Wheat

Plants, 2022
Grain protein content (GPC) is one of the most important criteria to determine the quality of common wheat (Triticum aestivum). One of the major obstacles for bread wheat production is the negative correlation between GPC and grain yield (GY).

EFFECT OF SELECTION ON HERITABILITY AND GENETIC CORRELATION OF TWO QUANTITATIVE TRAITS IN MICE [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Genetics and Cytology, 1974
The effects of different intensities of single trait directional selection on the heritability and genetic correlation of two quantitative traits in random mating populations of mice were observed during 14 generations. The initial population was divided at random into five groups (A, B, C, D and E).
