A new mixed-model method was developed for mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL) by incorporating multiple polygenic covariance structures. First, we used genome-wide markers to calculate six different kinship matrices. We then partitioned the total genetic variance into six variance components, one corresponding to each kinship matrix, including the additive, dominance, additive × additive, do...

Although the introduction of semi-dwarf trait into rice has led to improved lodging resistance making it capable of supporting high grain yield, lodging still remains a concern when attempting to further increase the grain yield of rice. However, improving the lodging resistance in rice by depending on the semi-dwarf trait alone is possible only up to a certain limit, beyond which other traits ...

the aim of this study was evaluation of some of characters, estimation of their heritability and their relationship in 104 recombinant inbred lines population of durum wheat under pot and field conditions. the inbred lines, their parents and control genotypes were evaluated in completely randomized design in 3 replications at pot study and in augment design at field condition. analysis of varia...

More efficient resource use, especially nitrogen (N) in agricultural fields could considerably reduce the losses and spillover effects on environment. Cereal-legume mixtures can lead to more uptake of growth-limiting resources, increase stabilize yields, due variation functional traits that facilitate partitioning niche space. Here we identify crop with optimal N use two selected cereal-legume ...

Genetic variability, correlation and path coefficients for fifteen agro-morphological traits were studied on 100 oat lines including two checks. Genotypic phenotypic of variation high leaf number per tiller weight panicle. Traits such as plant, tiller, panicle, stem width, individual plant yield, length internode thousand seed showed heritability accompanied by genetic advance indicating that t...

objective(s) leishmania can lead to a broad spectrum of diseases, collectively known as leishmaniasis. the a2 gene/ protein family could be one of the most eligible candidate factors of virulence in visceral leishmaniasis (vl). the previous results confirmed that in leishmania infantum, several a2 proteins are abundantly expressed by the amastigote, but not the promastigote stage. as there are ...

Let a1,a2,…,ak be positive integers with gcd(a1,a2,…,ak)=1. Frobenius number is the largest integer that NOT representable in terms of a1,a2,…,ak. When k?3, there no explicit formula general, but some formulae may exist for special sequences a1,a2,…,ak, including, those forming arithmetic progressions and their modifications. In this paper, we give power weighted sum nonrepresentable integers. ...
