Plant, Cell and Environment, 2016 Allotetraploid rapeseed (Brassica napus L., An An Cn Cn , 2n = 4x = 38) is extraordinarily susceptible to boron (B) deficiency, a ubiquitous problem causing severe losses in seed yield.

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Many breeding programmes have to perform preselection, as genotyping and phenotyping all potential breeder candidates is often not a feasible option. There is need to understand how preselection affects the quality of the genomic estimated breeding values (EBVs) at final selection and thereby can affect genetic progress.

Sustainable deployment of QTLs conferring quantitative resistance to crops: first lessons from a stochastic model [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Quantitative plant disease resistance is believed to be more durable than qualitative resistance, since it exerts less selective pressure on the pathogens. However, the process of progressive pathogen adaptation to quantitative resistance is poorly understood, which makes it difficult to predict its durability or to derive principles for its ...

BMC Genetics, 2009 Background The somatic cell score (SCS) is implemented in routine sire evaluations in many countries as an indicator trait for udder health. Somatic cell score is highly correlated with clinical mastitis, and in the German Holstein population ...

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The purpose of this work was to test the application of selection criteria that consider the genetic variances of future generations. This has not been done previously in numerically large livestock breeding programs based on estimated rather than assumed known marker effects.

Functional Mapping of Multiple Dynamic Traits [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Many biological phenomena undergo developmental changes in time and space. Functional mapping, which is aimed at mapping genes that affect developmental patterns, is instrumental for studying the genetic architecture of biological changes. Often biological processes are mediated by a network of developmental and physiological components and, therefore,

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Deep-sowing is an effective measure to ensure seeds absorbing water from deep soil layer and emerging normally in arid and semiarid regions. However, existing varieties demonstrate poor germination ability in deep soil layer and some key quantitative ...

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

Genomic Diversity of U.S. Katahdin Hair Sheep
Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In the late 1950s, Katahdin hair sheep were developed as a composite breed of medium size and moderate prolificacy, with potential to express resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes. With increasing popularity and the recent adoption of genomic prediction in their genetic evaluation, there is a risk of decreasing variation with selection ...

Long and short range multi-locus QTL interactions in a complex trait of yeast [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 We analyse interactions of Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) in heat selected yeast by comparing them to an unselected pool of random individuals. Here we re-examine data on individual F12 progeny selected for heat tolerance, which have been genotyped at 25 locations identified by sequencing a selected pool [Parts, L., Cubillos, F. A., Warringer, J., Jain,
