Diallel analysis of corn for special use as corn grits: determining the main genetic effects for corn gritting ability
Authors: T.V. Conrado, C.A. Scapim, L.S. Bignotto, R.J.B. Pinto, I.L.J. Freitas, A.T. Amaral Jr. and A.C. Pinheiro
Corn grits are used for various purposes such as flakes, snacks, livestock feed, hominy, extruded products, beer, etc. The grit size proportion varies according to the hybrid, and thus, once the use of the grits is linked to the particle size, determining the genetic effects is essential to develop hybrids for any specific use..

Developing selection criteria based on an ontogenetic path analysis approach to improve grain yield in barley
Authors: T.A. Setotaw, S.G. Belayneh, R. Gwinner and J.L. Ferreira
We used correlation and path coefficient analysis based on an ontogenetic approach to develop selection criteria in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) for an early production system in Ethiopia. A total of 100 genotypes using 10 x 10-simple lattices with two replications were used to perform the experiment at Ambo and Asasa. The comb.. Read More»

Genetic evaluation of Alpine goats using different milk control intervals
Authors: F.G. Silva, R.A. Torres, L.F. Brito, L.P. Silva, G.R.O. Menezes, L.C. Brito, R.F. Euclydes and M.T. Rodrigues
The objective of this study was to compare the results of genetic evaluations by using different milk control intervals to reduce the cost of milk yield controls without harming the quality of genetic evaluation of the animals. We analyzed test day milk yield data from the Goat Sector of Universidade Federal de Viçosa. After editing and checking fo.. Read More»

Heritability and expected selection response for yield traits in blanched asparagus
Authors: Ileana Gatti, Fernando L�³pez Anido, Vanina Cravero, Pablo Asprelli and Enrique Cointry
Despite the continuous breeding that has been conducted with asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) since the beginning of the last century, there is little information on parameters for predicting direct and indirect selection response. Yield traits for blanched asparagus production were studied along a two-year period in a hal.. Read More»

Analysis of the relationship between ribosomal DNA ITS sequences and active components in Rhodiola plants
Authors: D.J. Zhang, W.T. Yuan, M.T. Li and Y.H. Zhang
Rhodiola plants are a valuable resource in traditional Chinese medicine. The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences and the three active components in Rhodiola plants. For this, we determined ITS sequence polymorphisms and the concentrations of .. Read More»

Variations in genotype-phenotype correlations in phenylketonuria patients
Authors: L.L. Santos, C.G. Fonseca, A.L.P. Starling, J.N. Janu�¡rio, M.J.B. Aguiar, M.G.C.D. Peixoto and M.R.S. Carvalho
Phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency is a trait inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern; the associated phenotype varies considerably. This variation is mainly due to the considerable allelic heterogeneity in the phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme locus. We examined the genotype-phenotype correlation in 54 phenylketonuria (P..

Additive genetic relationship of longevity with fertility and production traits in Nellore cattle based on bivariate models
Authors: M.H. Van Melis, H.N. Oliveira, J.P. Eler, J.B.S. Ferraz, J. Casellas and L. Varona
Survival or longevity is an economically important trait in beef cattle. The main inconvenience for its inclusion in selection criteria is delayed recording of phenotypic data and the high computational demand for including survival in proportional hazard models. Thus, identification of a longevity-correlated trait that could .. Read More»

Methylation differences and expression profiles of the caprine DIO3 gene
Authors: H. Zhang, P.F. Jin, L.L. Niu, L. Li, L.J. Wang, Y. Chen, G.J. Zhang, H.P. Zhang and T. Zhong
DIO3 gene encoding type 3 iodothyronine deiodinase is an imprinted gene, located in the DLK1-DIO3 (delta-like 1 homolog-type 3 iodothyronine deiodinase) imprinted domain, and is potentially involved in degrading excessive amounts of thyroid hormone to protect embryogenesis. However, the underlying regulatory mechanism of the imprinted DIO3 gene expression.. Read More»

Genetic parameters for postweaning traits in Braunvieh cattle
Authors: D.C. Cucco, J.B.S. Ferraz, J.P. Eler, J.C.C. Balieiro, E.C. Mattos and L. Varona
Genetic parameters for traits related to postweaning growth in Braunvieh cattle, reared under tropical and sub-tropical conditions in Brazil, were studied. Weight traits were weight at 365 days of age (W365, N = 4055), at 450 days (W450, N = 3453), and at 550 days (W550, N = 1946), while weight gains were gain from weaning to .. Read More»

Genetic analysis of QTL for eye cross and eye diameter in common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) using microsatellites and SNPs
Authors: S.B. Jin, X.F. Zhang, J.G. Lu, H.T. Fu, Z.Y. Jia and X.W. Sun
A group of 107 F1 hybrid common carp was used to construct a linkage map using JoinMap 4.0. A total of 4877 microsatellite and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers isolated from a genomic library (978 microsatellite and 3899 SNP markers) were assigned to construct the genetic map, which comprised 50 linkage groups. The total length of the linkage .. Read More»
