Genotypic adaptation involves the incorporation of novel traits in crop varieties so as to enhance food productivity and stability and is expected to be one of the most important adaptation strategies to future climate change. Simulation modelling can provide the basis for evaluating the biophysical potential of crop traits for genotypic adaptation. This review focuses on the use of models for ...

The agreement between the position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM) and geno2pheno as tools for genotypic interpretation of HIV-1 tropism using 800 clinical specimens was assessed. There was an overall concordance of 88%. Disagreement was found mostly in specimens with short V3 lengths (<35 amino acids). Thus, consideration of V3 lengths should improve the predictability of HIV-1 tropism using ge...

The perennial grass species that are being developed as biomass feedstock crops harbor extensive genotypic diversity, but the effects of this diversity on biomass production are not well understood. We investigated the effects of genotypic diversity in switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) and big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii) on perennial biomass cropping systems in two experiments conducted over 20...

BACKGROUND Principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square (PLS) regression may be useful to summarize the HIV genotypic information. Without pre-selection each mutation presented in at least one patient is considered with a different weight. We compared these two strategies with the construction of a usual genotypic score. METHODS We used data from the ANRS-CO3 Aquitaine Cohort Z...

Explaining the evolution of sex and recombination is particularly intriguing for some species of eusocial insects because they display exceptionally high mating frequencies and genomic recombination rates. Explanations for both phenomena are based on the notion that both increase colony genetic diversity, with demonstrated benefits for colony disease resistance and division of labor. However, t...

Screening of twenty-four candidate plus trees from naturally available Pongamia pinnata genetic resources was carried out to elucidate the genetic variation and relationship of pod and seed traits on germination capacity to select the best planting material for higher productivity. The experiment conducted at Forest Research Centre, Institute of Forest Productivity Mandar, Ranchi during 2005-20...

The present study aimed to evaluate the applicability and efficiency of FAI-BLUP index in genetic selection maize hybrids, using 84 hybrids that were evaluated for cycle, morphology, yield traits four environments. Models accounting homogeneous heterogeneous residual variances tested, variance components estimated maximum likelihood. Genotypic values predicted by best linear unbiased prediction...
