introduction legumes are important sources of good quality protein in diet of people and they are valuable as animals feeding. the seed of chickpea plant (cicer arietinum l.) contains essential protein sources, which plays a significant role in the human diet. among legumes the resistance of chickpea to dehydration conditions causes a higher productivity. chickpea has a moderate tolerance to dr...

Eighty-nine germplasm of rice (Oryza sativa L.) along with four checks were evaluated in a well-prepared field to assess the genetic variability, heritability, and advance for different characters under irrigated conditions Augmented Block Design. In this study, analysis variance revealed highly significant or all 13 except non–significant 1000- grain weight. High moderate broad sense heritabil...

Abstract The objective of this work was to compare different methods estimate heritability in 30 pigeon pea families from the F3, F4, F5, and F6 generations, for nine variables. experimental design a randomized complete block with three replicates 20 plants per plot. Broad-sense estimated by analysis variance ( A N O V A) [ h 2b-E(MS)], restricted maximum likelihood/best linear unbiased predict...

The heritability of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is higher for children than adults. This may be due to increasing importance of environment in symptom variation, measurement inaccuracy when two raters report behavior of a twin-pair, a contrast effect resulting from parental comparison of siblings and/or dimensionality of measures. We examine rater contrast and sex effects in...

Heritability estimates of metabolic syndrome traits vary widely across studies. Some studies have suggested that the contribution of genes may vary with age or sex. We estimated the heritability of 11 metabolic syndrome-related traits and height as a function of age and sex in a large population-based sample of twin families (N = 2,792-27,021, for different traits). A moderate-to-high heritabil...

1 Efforts to identify loci underlying complex traits generally assume that most genetic variance is 2 additive. Here, we examined the genetics of Arabidopsis thaliana root length and found that the 3 narrow-sense heritability for this trait was statistically zero. This low additive genetic variance 4 likely explains why no associations to root length could be found using standard additive-model...

The olive tree (Olea europaea L.) is a species of great importance in history and economic, with large phenotypic variability, represented through wide range cultivars spread throughout the world. There are several studies on characterization number species. However, there need to uncover how these traits heritable, they can change when environmental conditions vary. For this reason, objective ...

Traits for biomass production and composition make Miscanthus a promising bioenergy crop different bioconversion routes. They need to be considered in miscanthus breeding programs as they are subjected genetic × environment factors. The objective was estimate the parameters of an M. sinensis population grown during 4 years two French locations. In each location, experiment established according...

Peach is a temperate fruit species that cultivated under various edaphoclimatic conditions all over the world. In Brazil, in early 1950s, peaches were planted only Sao Paulo state and Southern states, harvest period was restricted to 15 days. Currently, mainly due peach breeding programs, it subtropical areas even high altitude tropical areas, with of 100 Knowledge genetic, phenotypic environme...
