Genomic Prediction Ability for Novel Profitability Traits Using Different Models in Nelore Cattle

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy, bias and dispersion of genomic predictions for accumulated profitability (APF) and profit per kilogram of liveweight gain (PFT) in Nelore cattle using different prediction approaches. The dataset consisted of 3969 phenotypic records for each trait. The pedigree harboured information from 38,930

Genomic Analysis of Taurine and Indicine Ancestry in the Montana Tropical Composite Population

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Montana Tropical cattle, a Taurine and Indicine composite, were developed in Brazil since 1994 and were based on crossing four biological types of cattle: zebu (mainly Nelore), tropical adapted taurine (mainly Senepol and Romosinuano), British taurine (mainly Angus) and continental taurine (as Charolais, Simental and Limousin).

Use of Cluster Analysis for Identifying Metafounders

open access: yesJournal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the metafounder approach, the relationship matrix of metafounders, Γ$$ \boldsymbol{\Gamma} $$ is used to transfer information on relationships between pedigree founders into the numerator relationship matrix A$$ \mathbf{A} $$, creating matrix AΓ$$ {\mathbf{A}}^{\boldsymbol{\Gamma}} $$.

A targeted QTL analysis for fiber length using a genetic population between two introgressed backcrossed inbred lines in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum)

open access: yesCrop Journal, 2019
Cotton fiber is the most important natural raw material for the textile industry, and fiber length (FL) is one of the most important traits in cotton. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping based on high-density genetic maps is an efficient approach to ...

Genetic analysis and molecular mapping of the purple leaf sheath in barley (Hordeum vulgare)

open access: yesThe Plant Genome
Although anthocyanin is frequently found in various barley organs, the genetic basis of the pigmentation is still poorly understood. In this study, we examined the development of anthocyanin in GemCraft, a malting barley cultivar showing purple leaf ...

Quantitative Trait Loci Affecting Oil Content, Oil Composition, and Other Agronomically Important Traits in Oat

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, 2012
Groat oil content and composition are important determinants of oat ( L.) quality. We investigated these traits in a population of 146 recombinant inbred lines from a cross between ‘Dal’ (high oil) and ‘Exeter’ (low oil).

Near‐complete genome assembly of a transformation‐efficient elite inbred line LH244 and its comparison with B73

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Analysis of a near‐complete assembly of the genome of the highly transformable maize inbred line LH244 revealed its high genetic similarity to B73 and will serve as a much‐needed resource for functional genomics and genome editing of maize. ABSTRACT The highly transformable maize inbred line LH244 represents an attractive model for gene discovery and ...
