EVALUATION OF EGGPLANT ACCESSIONS BASED ON THEIR QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE TRAITS PERFORMANCE UNDER TROPICAL CLIMATE [PDF]
Agro-morphological genetic variation on yield and yield-related traits plays an important role in varietal development in eggplant. The present study assessed different genetic variations of 27 eggplant accessions using yield and yield- related ...

Strategies for Robusta Coffee (Coffea canephora) Improvement as a New Crop in Colombia
Robusta coffee is mostly grown in Africa and Asia and parts of tropical America, but not yet in Colombia. The crop has potential in lowland areas of this traditional Arabica coffee producer. Compared to Arabicas grown in highland areas, the Robustas have

Quantitative Traits and Diversification [PDF]
Quantitative traits have long been hypothesized to affect speciation and extinction rates. For example, smaller body size or increased specialization may be associated with increased rates of diversification. Here, I present a phylogenetic likelihood-based method (quantitative state speciation and extinction [QuaSSE]) that can be used to test such ...

Missing Heritability in the Tails of Quantitative Traits? A Simulation Study on the Impact of Slightly Altered True Genetic Models [PDF]
Objective: Genome-wide association studies have identified robust associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms and complex traits. As the proportion of phenotypic variance explained is still limited for most of the traits, larger and larger meta ...

Epidemiological Study of T4, T3 and TSH Mean Concentrations in Four Iranian Populations [PDF]
T4 and T3, two major hormones of thyroid gland, are responsible for regulation of “basal metabolism” in the body. Thyroid function is regulated primarily by variation in the pituitary TSH.
