Genetic and phenotypic parameters of carcass and organ traits of broiler chickens
Authors: G.C. Venturini1, V.A.R. Cruz1, J.O. Rosa1, F. Baldi1, L. El Faro3, M.C. Ledur2, J.O. Peixoto2 and D.P. Munari1
The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic and environmental parameters for carcass, carcass part, and organ weights in a paternal strain of broiler chickens that was selected mainly for body weight at 42 days of age (BW42) to provide support for poultry genetic improvement programs. A total of 1448 chickens were used that resulted from the e.. Read More»

Genetic control of inflorescence in common bean
Authors: S.R. Guilherme1, M.A.P. Ramalho1, A. de F.B. Abreu2 and L.A. Pereira1
The number of pods per common bean plant is a primary component of grain yield, which depends on the number of flowers produced and on the flower set. Thus, a larger number of flowers per plant would increase yield. Lines with inflorescences that had a large number of flowers compared to common bean plants now under cultivation were identified. We analyze.. Read More»

Influence of animals obtained using embryo transfer on the genetic evaluation of growth in Simmental beef cattle with random regression models
Authors: R.R. Mota, P.S. Lopes, L.F.A. Marques, L.P. Silva,M. Concei�§�£o Pessoa, R. Almeida Torres, M.D.V. Resende
Weight records of Simmental beef cattle were used in a genetic evaluation of growth with and without embryo transfer (ET). A random regression model in which ET individuals were excluded (RRM1) contained 29,510 records from 10,659 animals, while another model that did not exclude these animals (RRM2) contained 62,895 records f..

Relationship between genetic parameters in maize (Zea mays) with seedling growth parameters under 40-100% soil moisture conditions
Authors: R.W. Muhammad and A. Qayyum
We estimated the association of genetic parameters with production characters in 64 maize (Zea mays) genotypes in a green house in soil with 40-100% moisture levels (percent of soil moisture capacity). To identify the major parameters that account for variation among the genotypes, we used single linkage cluster analysis and principle component analysis. .. Read More»
