A Quantitative Trait Locus with a Major Effect on Root-Lesion Nematode Resistance in Barley. [PDF]

Plants (Basel)
Although the root-lesion nematode Pratylenchus thornei is known to affect barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), there have been no reports on the genetic control of P. thornei resistance in barley. In this research, P.

The Genetic Structures and Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Ear Traits in Maize (Zea mays L.)

Cells, 2023
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the world’s staple food crops. In order to feed the growing world population, improving maize yield is a top priority for breeding programs. Ear traits are important determinants of maize yield, and are mostly quantitatively

A Quantitative Trait Locus Influencing Anxiety in the Laboratory Rat [PDF]

Genome Research, 2002
A critical test for a gene that influences susceptibility to fear in animals is that it should have a consistent pattern of effects across a broad range of conditioned and unconditioned models of anxiety. Despite many years of research, definitive evidence that genetic effects operate in this way is lacking.

Gene and QTL detection in a three-way barley cross under selection by a mixed model with kinship information using SNPs [PDF]

, 2011
Quantitative trait locus (QTL) detection is commonly performed by analysis of designed segregating populations derived from two inbred parental lines, where absence of selection, mutation and genetic drift is assumed.

Genomic prediction from observed and imputed high-density ovine genotypes

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2017
Background Genomic prediction using high-density (HD) marker genotypes is expected to lead to higher prediction accuracy, particularly for more heterogeneous multi-breed and crossbred populations such as those in sheep and beef cattle, due to providing ...

Mapping quantitative trait loci and identification of genes that control fatness in poultry [PDF]

, 2002
Chicken genomics has benefited from the rapid technological advances in the genomics of model organisms and man. A number of resources and approaches are now well established, in the chicken, including genetic markers and maps (both genetic and physical),

Identification of QTL Controlling Flooding Tolerance in Reducing Soil Conditions in Maize (Zea mays L.) Seedlings

Plant Production Science, 2006
We investigated the tolerance to flooding in reducing conditions of five maize inbred lines and identified a quantitative trait locus (QTL) for the trait. Flooding treatment with 0.1% to 0.4% starch solution for 14 d reduced soil redox potential to about

Genome wide analysis of inbred mouse lines identifies a locus containing Ppar-γ as contributing to enhanced malaria surviva [PDF]

, 2010
The genetic background of a patient determines in part if a person develops a mild form of malaria and recovers, or develops a severe form and dies. We have used a mouse model to detect genes involved in the resistance or susceptibility to Plasmodium ...
