A set of eight parental diallel involving seven commercial wheat cultivars and one breeding line was made to investigate the nature of gene action determining inheritance pattern of grain quality characters. Highly significant differences were observed among the genotypes for 1000 grain weight, protein content, wet gluten and lysine content. Adequacy tests were employed to estimate the fitness ...

A previous genomewide association study (GWAS) identified SNP markers associated with propensity to migrate of rainbow and steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in a connected population with free access to the ocean in Upper Yakima River (UYR) and a population in Upper Mann Creek (UMC) that has been sequestered from its access to the ocean for more than 50 years. Applying genomic heritability ...

Background: Indian mustard is an important oilseed crop which occupies premier position in agriculture. Developing high yielding genotypes a major breeding objective mustard. Present study was conducted at Experimental Farm of Ranaghat, Nadia, West Bengal, during 2017 to 2019. Methods: Line x tester analysis seven lines and five testers carried out identify the heterotic crosses their relations...

Mao Y, London NR, Ma L, Dvorkin D, Da Y. Detection of SNP epistasis effects of quantitative traits using an extended Kempthorne model. Physiol Genomics 28: 46–52, 2006. First published August 29, 2006; doi:10.1152/physiolgenomics.00096.2006.—Epistasis effects (gene interactions) have been increasingly recognized as important genetic factors underlying complex traits. The existence of a large nu...
