Quantitative Genetics of Microbiome Mediated Traits

Evolution
Multicellular organisms host a rich assemblage of associated microorganisms, collectively known as their “microbiomes”. Microbiomes have the capacity to influence their hosts’ fitnesses, but the conditions under which such influences contribute to evolution are not clear.

Quantitative-genetic variation in morphological and physiological traits within a quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) population

, 2008
Genetic diversity within populations is an important component of adaptive evolution, and recent research has demonstrated that genetic variation within plant populations can have important ecological effects.

Impact of nonadditive genetic effects in the estimation of breeding values for fertility and correlated traits [PDF]

, 2005
The effects of inbreeding, heterosis, recombination loss, and percentage Holstein on the estimation of predicted transmitting abilities for fertility traits (calving interval, number of days from calving to first insemination, nonreturn rate, number of ...

Quantitative resistance can lead to evolutionary changes in traits not targeted by the resistance QTLs [PDF]

, 2014
This paper addresses the general concern in plant pathology that the introduction of quantitative resistance in the landscape can lead to increased pathogenicity.

Evaluation of quantitative morphological characteristics across various populations of Iranian Silene peduncularis (Caryophyllaceae)

Collectanea Botanica
This study reviews the morphological assessment performed on eight populations of Iranian Silene peduncularis section Sclerocalycinae. Seventeen distinctive quantitative morphological traits were examined at the population level.

Studying Personality Traits Across Cultures: Philippine Examples [PDF]

, 2002
Trait perspectives are dominant in the study of personality cross-culturally. We review the questions addressed by researchers who study personality traits across cultures, including, among others, whether traits are used in all cultures to understand ...

Inheritance study of qualitative and quantitative characters in cowpea varieties (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp)

Electronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2016
Two parents namely Konkan Safed and Konkan Sadabahar were used to study inheritance of four qualitative characters (i.e., growth habit, flower colour, seed coat colour and seed coat colour pattern) and four quantitative characters i.e.

The analysis of quantitative traits in wheat mapping populations

, 2001
This paper discusses the analysis of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) using molecular markers from a doubled haploid wheat mapping population arising from the Cranbrook Halberd cross. Two field trials are used to provide phenotypic information on the trait

Genetic evaluation of fertility using direct and correlated traits [PDF]

, 2003
Poor fertility has become a major reason for involuntary culling of dairy cows in the United Kingdom. Calving interval (CI) and body condition score (BCS) are recorded, heritable, genetically correlated with each other, and could be used to extend the ...

Exploring inbreeding depression in Brazilian Angus cattle population using pedigree and genomic data

Frontiers in Genetics
IntroductionInbreeding depression refers to the decline in performance caused by increased levels of inbreeding, which results from mating individuals with common ancestors.
