This study aimed at imputing non(un)-genotyped sires using a stepwise imputation approach that combines identity by descent (IBD) detection methods with other imputation algorithms. We also studied the effect of using ...

Evolutionary algorithms rarely deal with ontogenetic, non-inherited alteration of genetic information because they are based on a direct genotype-phenotype mapping. In contrast, several processes have been discovered in ...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV), like other RNA virus, is characterized by a high genomic heterogeneity. To date, six different genotypes have been identified, with distinct geographical distribution. HCV genotype identification ...

The aim of this study was the genotyping of Ornithobacterium rhinotracheale. For this, 36 strains were identified by molecular testing and genotyping was performed by Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST). The tests identified ...

The use of resistant melon cultivars is considered the most effective method to control gummy stem blight, caused by Didymella bryoniae. However, the selection of genotypes is influenced by environmental conditions and the ...

The tomato red spider mite, TRSM, Tetranychus evansi Baker & Pritchard (Acari: Tetranychidae), is an invasive tomato pest in several countries, with potential to reduce yield by up to 90% in Africa. Solanum habrochaites, ...

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) has stood out as an oilseed crop with potential for cultivation in Brazil and can be inserted in the already consolidated production systems. However, obtaining adapted genotypes is ...

Several statistical models can be used for assessing genotype X environment interaction (GEI) and studying genotypic stability. The objectives of this research were to show how (i) to use Bayesian methodology for computing ...

In order to better understand and explore the genotype-environment interaction (GEI) in plant breeding, the development of new methods for adaptability and stability analysis, as well as the improvement of existing ones, ...
