Quantitative genetic study of age at subsequent rebreeding in Nellore cattle by using survival analysis
Authors: M.H. Van Melis, L.G.G. Figueiredo, H.N. Oliveira, J.P. Eler,G.J.M. Rosa, M.L. Santana Jr., F.M. Rezende and J.B.S. Ferraz
The continuous trait age at subsequent rebreeding (ASR) was evaluated using survival analysis in Nellore breed cows that conceived for the first time at approximately 14 months of age. This methodology was chosen because the restricted breeding season produces censored data. The dataset contained 2885 records of ASR (in days)... Read More»

Inheritance of downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) and anthracnose (Sphaceloma ampelinum) resistance in grapevines
Authors: O. Poolsawat, S. Mahanil, P. Laosuwan, S. Wongkaew,A. Tharapreuksapong, B.I. Reisch and P.A. Tantasawat
Downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) and anthracnose (Sphaceloma ampelinum) are two of the major diseases of most grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) cultivars grown in Thailand. Therefore, breeding grapevines for improved downy mildew and anthracnose resistance is crucial. Factorial crosses were made between three downy mildew and/or anthracnose resistant lines .. Read More»

Genetic association of productive and reproductive traits with stayability in Nellore cattle: analysis using Bayesian models
Authors: E.C.A. Rizzo, F.R.A. Neto, I.D.P.S. Diaz, M.M. Dias, R.B. Costa, H.T. Ventura, H.N. Oliveira and A.J.S. Falc�£o
We evaluated the genetic association of growth traits [weight adjusted to 205 days of age (W205), 365 days of age (W365), and 550 days of age (W550); weight gain between 205 days of age and 365 days of age (WG1) and between 365 days of age and 550 days of age (WG2)] and reproductive traits [age at first calving (AFC); first ca..

Genetic divergence of physiological-quality traits of seeds in a population of peppers
Authors: A.M.S. Pessoa, P.A. Barroso, E.R. do R�ªgo, G.D.A. Medeiros, R.L.A. Bruno and M.M. do R�ªgo
Brazil has a great diversity of Capsicum peppers that can be used in breeding programs. The objective of this study was to evaluate genetic variation in traits related to the physiological quality of seeds of Capsicum annuum L. in a segregating F2 population and its parents. A total of 250 seeds produced by selfing in the F1 g.. Read More»

Influence of various quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping methods on the mapping accuracy under varying heritability levels
Authors: C.F. Su, Z.B. Liu and Y.G. Li
The study of quantitative trait effects is of great significance for molecular marker-assisted breeding. The accuracy of quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping is the key factor affecting marker-assisted breeding, and is extremely significant. The effect of different heritability rates (10, 30, 50, 70, and 90%) on the accuracy of QTL mapping of five recomb.. Read More»

Analysis of genetic traits for drought tolerance in maize
Authors: R.W. Muhammad, A. Qayyum, A. Hamza, M.Q. Ahmad, N.S. Naseer, S. Liaqat, B. Ahmad, W. Malik and E. Noor
Fifty-four genotypes of maize were crossed and evaluated in the field during the crop season in February 2012 under both normal and water stress conditions. To identify the major parameters responsible for variation among genotypes, single linkage cluster analysis and principle component analysis (PCA) were carried out. Thirteen characters were studied. T.. Read More»

Multivariate analysis of test-day and total milk yield in goats
Authors: N. Irano, A.B. Bignardi, F. Baldi, M.L. Santana Jr, I.A.M.A. Teixeira, H. Tonhati and L.G. Albuquerque
The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for 305-day cumulative milk yield (MY305) and its association with test-day milk yield (TDMY) in Saanen and Alpine goats in order to provide information that allows the use of TDMY as selection criteria. This was done using standard multi-trait and reduced rank models. Data from 1157 lactation.. Read More»
