Multi-trait GWAS using imputed high-density genotypes from whole-genome sequencing identifies genes associated with body traits in Nile tilapia
(BMC, 2021)
Background: Body traits are generally controlled by several genes in vertebrates (i.e. polygenes), which in turn
make them difficult to identify through association mapping. Increasing the power of association studies ...
Genetic parameter estimation for pre- and post-weaning traits in Brahman cattle in Brazil
(Springer, 2014-10-01)
Beef cattle producers in Brazil use body weight traits as breeding program selection criteria due to their great economic importance. The objectives of this study were to evaluate different animal models, estimate genetic ...
Appearance traits in fish farming: Progress from classical genetics to genomics, providing insight into current and potential genetic improvement
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2014)
Appearance traits in fish, those external body characteristics that influence consumer acceptance at point of sale, have come to the forefront of commercial fish farming, as culture profitability is closely linked to ...
EVOLUTION OF FLORAL MORPHOLOGY AND POLLINATION SYSTEM IN BIGNONIEAE (BIGNONIACEAE)
(BOTANICAL SOC AMER INC, 2010)
The radiation of angiosperms is associated with shifts among pollination modes that are thought to have driven the diversification of floral forms. However, the exact sequence of evolutionary events that led to such great ...
Academic Achievement of College Students: The role of the Positive Personality Model
(Scientia Socialis, 2019-10)
This research aimed at testing an explicative model of academic achievement of college students. Positive personality traits were hypothesized as the main predictors. Mental health and academic adjustment were tested as ...
Seed germination traits can contribute better to plant community ecology
(2016-05-01)
Analyses of functional traits have become fundamental tools for understanding patterns and processes in plant community ecology. In this context, regenerative seed traits play an important, yet overlooked, role because ...
Genome-Wide Association Study Provides Insights into Important Genes for Reproductive Traits in Nelore Cattle
(Mdpi, 2021-05-01)
Simple Summary In this study, we investigated the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and reproductive traits in order to identify candidate genes and biological pathways associated with these traits ...
Plant functional traits and phylogenetic relatedness explain variation in associations with root fungal endophytes in an extreme arid environment
(Springer, 2014-07-06)
Since root endophytes may ameliorate drought stress, understanding which plants associate with endophytes is important, especially in arid ecosystems. Here, the root endophytes were characterized of 42 plants from an arid ...
Alternative bayesian models for genetic evaluation of biometrical, physical, and morphological reproductive traits in nelore bulls
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-02-01)
Reproductive performance is one of the most important factors for the productive efficiency in beef cattle production. Biometric testicular and physical and morphological traits of the ejaculate are used to evaluate the ...
