the aim of this study was to determine the effect of marker density, level of heritability, number of qtls, and size of training set on the genomic accuracy over three generations. thereby, a trait was simulated with heritability of 0.10, 0.25 or 0.40. for each animal, a genome with 20 chromosomes, 1 morgan each, was simulated. different marker densities (2000, 4000 and 6000 markers) and 400 an...

Genomic selection (GS) is becoming an important selection tool in crop breeding. In this study, we compared the ability of different GS models to predict time to young microspore (TYM), a flowering time-related trait, spike grain number under control conditions (SGNC) and spike grain number under osmotic stress conditions (SGNO) in two wheat biparental doubled haploid populations with unrelated...

Fusarium wilt is one of the most destructive diseases of muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.), which is an economically important disease worldwide causes yield losses in muskmelon growing areas. One of the most effective controlling measures to prevent Fusarium wilt is through host resistance by using resistance genes. We used developed molecular markers for Fom-2 gene, which confers ...

rhizomania is the most important disease of sugar beet in iran and some other parts of the world, and plays an essential role in decreasing sugar yield in fields. the best approach to control this disease is to use resistant varieties. tagging the resistance genes in breeding programs, by molecular markers is necessary. in this study, some breeding populations and commercial varieties of sugar ...

BACKGROUND Body Mass Index (BMI) is widely regarded as an important clinical trait for obesity and other diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, and osteoarthritis. METHODS This study uses 6,011 samples of genotype data from ethnic Korean subjects. The data was retrieved from the Korea Association Resource. To identify the BMI-related markers within the Korean population, we...
